Use when targeting The American Journal of Gastroenterology or deciding whether a clinical GI/hepatology study fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, the practice-relevant clinical-evidence bar, reporting-guideline and registration requirements, ACG house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics. Venue-fit aid only, not clinical advice.

# The American Journal of Gastroenterology (american-journal-of-gastroenterology)

## Journal positioning

The American Journal of Gastroenterology ("the Red Journal") is the flagship journal of the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG), publishing practice-relevant clinical research across luminal gastroenterology, hepatology, pancreaticobiliary disease, and endoscopy, together with ACG clinical guidelines and outcomes scholarship. It serves practicing gastroenterologists and hepatologists and prizes work that informs diagnosis, management, quality, and patient outcomes in real-world GI practice; mechanistic bench studies without a clinical anchor, and underpowered single-center descriptive series with no practice implication, are a weak fit. This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** aid; it is not clinical or regulatory advice and does not replace the journal's current instructions for authors. Before submitting, re-check the live American Journal of Gastroenterology author instructions.

## When to trigger

- The author names The American Journal of Gastroenterology for a clinical GI, hepatology, endoscopy, or outcomes study and wants a fit/framing check.
- A GI study must be re-framed around a clear practice-relevant diagnostic, therapeutic, or quality question for practicing clinicians.
- The author is choosing between the Red Journal, a basic GI-science venue, and a hepatology-specialty or general-medicine journal.
- The author needs the journal's reporting-guideline, registration, and desk-reject expectations for clinical GI research.
