Review process

Each manuscript submitted to the Journal is assigned to a Section Editor who has expertise on the subject of the manuscript. The Section Editor initially evaluates the manuscript if it is appropriate and competitive for publication in Annals of Gastroenterology and chooses 2-4 reviewers who are experts in the field and remain anonymous.  The reviewers treat the manuscripts as confidential communications and provide comments for the editor and for the authors. Finally all manuscripts submitted to the Journal go through a rigorous peer-review process by at least 2-3 referees, plus the evaluations of the Section Editor and Editor-in-Chief. This means that about 5 experts go through all the manuscripts before they are accepted for publication. The rejection rate is between 70-95%, depending on the type of article. Case reports and images of the month have the higher rejection rate whereas original articles and reviews the lower.
