Use when targeting Gastroenterology (AGA) or deciding whether a GI/hepatology manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, framing, method-and-evidence bar, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

# Gastroenterology (gastroenterology)

## Journal positioning

Gastroenterology is the flagship journal of the American Gastroenterological Association, published by Elsevier, and the leading venue for the full spectrum of gastrointestinal and liver science — from mechanistic cell and molecular biology through clinical trials, epidemiology, and endoscopy. Unlike Gut (which skews toward clinical GI/hepatology under a BMJ framework), Gastroenterology's AGA identity means the journal explicitly values and publishes high-quality basic and translational science alongside clinical trials, making it the natural home for mechanistic studies with clear disease relevance in the gut, liver, and pancreas. The readership spans GI clinicians, hepatologists, and GI scientists, requiring papers to be accessible across that spectrum.

This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official submission guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live author instructions on the AGA / Elsevier Gastroenterology platform.

## When to trigger

- The author names Gastroenterology or the AGA as the target venue for a GI or liver manuscript.
- A GI/hepatology paper needs venue selection between Gastroenterology and Gut.
- A mechanistic gut, liver, or pancreas study with translational human-data bridge needs framing guidance.
- The author needs Gastroenterology's desk-reject risks and credible alternative venues before submitting.
