hepatology

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

# Hepatology (hepatology)

## Journal positioning

Hepatology is the flagship journal of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD), publishing original research spanning liver biology and disease — from molecular and cellular hepatobiliary science through translational and clinical studies in viral, metabolic (MASLD/MASH), alcohol-related, autoimmune and cholestatic liver disease, cirrhosis and portal hypertension, liver cancer, and transplantation. It serves a North-American-anchored but international hepatology and hepatobiliary-science readership and the AASLD practice-guideline community, with a notable strength in mechanistic and basic/translational liver biology alongside practice-relevant clinical research. Confirmatory or descriptive work without a clear mechanistic or clinical advance, and studies with weak biological grounding, are a poor 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 Hepatology author instructions.

## When to trigger

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