Use when targeting Journal of Hepatology or deciding whether a liver-disease study fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, the EASL clinical-and-translational evidence bar, reporting-guideline and registration requirements, Elsevier/EASL house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics. Venue-fit aid only, not clinical advice.

# Journal of Hepatology (journal-of-hepatology)

## Journal positioning

Journal of Hepatology is the flagship journal of the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL), publishing high-impact clinical, translational, and basic science across the breadth of hepatology — viral, metabolic (MASLD/MASH), alcohol-related and autoimmune liver disease, cirrhosis and portal hypertension, acute and acute-on-chronic liver failure, hepatocellular and biliary cancers, and liver transplantation. It serves an international hepatology readership and a European clinical-guideline community, and expects work that advances mechanistic understanding or changes how liver disease is diagnosed, staged, or managed; descriptive single-center series and incremental confirmatory studies without a clear conceptual or practice advance 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 Journal of Hepatology author instructions.

## When to trigger

- The author names Journal of Hepatology for a clinical, translational, or basic liver-disease study and wants a fit/framing check.
- A liver study must be re-framed around a mechanistic insight or a guideline-relevant clinical advance for an EASL/European readership.
- The author is choosing between Journal of Hepatology (EASL), Hepatology (AASLD), and a general GI or general-medicine venue.
- The author needs the journal's reporting-guideline, registration, and desk-reject expectations for hepatology.
