Editor-in-Chief articles of choice and comments at the year-end of 2023

World J Gastroenterol. 2024 Jan 7;30(1):1-8. doi: 10.3748/wjg.v30.i1.1.

Abstract

As the Editor-in-Chief of World Journal of Gastroenterology, every week prior to a new issue's online publication, I perform a careful review of all encompassed articles, including the title, clinical and/or research importance, originality, novelty, and ratings by the peer reviewers. Based on this review, I select the papers of choice and suggest pertinent changes (e.g., in the title) to the Company Editors responsible for publication. This process, while time-consuming, is very important for assuring the quality of publications and highlighting important articles that Readers may revisit.

Keywords: Careful weekly review; Colorectal cancer; Gastric cancer; Hepatocellular carcinoma; Inflammatory bowel diseases; Liver cirrhosis; Liver injury; Pancreatic cancer; Papers of choice; Suggested changes/revisions.
