AGA journals’ reach record-high Impact Factors

AGA is proud to announce that its journals have maintained their exceptional standing in the field of gastroenterology and hepatology, based on Impact Factor. The Impact Factor is a measure of the frequency with which articles published in the previous 2 years are cited and is commonly used to rank the significance of journals within their fields.

Gastroenterology, AGA’s flagship journal, received a record-high Impact Factor of 22.682, a substantial increase from its 2019 Impact Factor of 17.37. Gastroenterology maintains its position among an elite group of journals focused on publishing original research, spanning basic to clinical, in our field. Co–Editors in Chief (EICs) Richard M. Peek Jr., MD, and Douglas A. Corley, MD, PhD, remarked, “We would like to thank our entire board of editors and reviewers, as well as the incredible AGA editorial staff, for their exceptional work in this challenging pandemic year as we continue to publish articles and reviews of outstanding quality that are widely used by our readership. It is an honor to be part of such a remarkable team.”

Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology (CGH), AGA’s clinically focused journal, also reached a record high with an Impact Factor of 11.382, pulling ahead as the field’s top exclusively clinically oriented journal. This puts CGH at a rank of 8th among 92 journals in the field. Fasiha Kanwal, MD, MSHS, EIC of CGH, noted, “We are delighted that CGH remains in a strong position in the top 10 GI journals in terms of Impact Factor. On behalf of the CGH board of editors, I want to extend a warm and most heartfelt thanks to our authors, reviewers, and readers!  We would not have been able to achieve this milestone without your support, contributions, and the faith that you place in us.”

To round things out, Cellular and Molecular Gastroenterology and Hepatology (CMGH), AGA’s basic and translational open-access journal also reached a record high with an Impact Factor of 9.225, placing it 13th, and second among nonclinical journals in that topic area. EICs Klaus Kaestner, PhD, and Michael Pack, MD, stated, “As co-EICs of CMGH, we send congratulations to the journal’s board of editors, editorial board, reviewers, and superb editorial staff on this year’s Impact Factor. We are honored to work with these outstanding colleagues and to provide our readership with highly impactful and cutting-edge research and review articles.”

In its online announcement, AGA congratulates and thanks the boards of all three journals for their editorial leadership. We also thank our authors, readers, and reviewers for their continued support of AGA’s journals. We look forward to continuing to push the envelope in scientific publishing in the upcoming year.

Gain perspectives, insights, and experience in diagnostic and therapeutic GI care

Accurately diagnosing and treating GI disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, or eosinophilic esophagitis are challenging for any health care practitioners. Why not be the advanced practice provider (APP) in your practice that others look to for providing the best course of action for patients? The all-virtual 2021 Principles of GI for the NP and PA, Aug. 14-15, 2021, explores these GI conditions in detail, as well as colorectal cancer and disorders of the liver and pancreas, to give you a foundation in which to provide superlative patient care.

The virtual format also offers a safe and affordable forum for learning from your home or office as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to be felt throughout 2021. You’ll also benefit from on-demand access for 2 years after the live course so you can reference and refresh what you learned.

Take the opportunity to refine your skills and improve your patient care outcomes.
