Aims and Scope

Focusing on clinical research reports

Digestion concentrates on clinical research reports: in addition to editorials and reviews, the journal features sections on stomach/esophagus, bowel, neurogastroenterology, liver/bile, pancreas, metabolism/nutrition, and gastrointestinal oncology. Papers cover physiology in humans, metabolic studies, and clinical work on the etiology, diagnosis, and therapy of human diseases. It is thus especially cut out for gastroenterologists employed in hospitals and outpatient units. Moreover, the journal’s coverage of studies on the metabolism and effects of therapeutic drugs carries considerable value for clinicians and investigators beyond the immediate field of gastroenterology.
