Gastroenterology Nursing

Gastroenterology Nursing (ISSN 1042-895X) is a bimonthly peer-reviewed journal published by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins in the United States, dedicated to advancing the science and practice of gastrointestinal nursing. The journal focuses on critical aspects of clinical care, including patient management, nursing education, and research-driven interventions for digestive system disorders, with particular emphasis on improving patient quality of life and integrating emerging technologies into clinical practice. While it holds a recognized standing in the nursing field, classified as a Zone 4 journal by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, it is not indexed in the Science Citation Index (SCI) and maintains a non-open access model with an impact factor of approximately 1.5. Consequently, its academic influence is somewhat limited compared to broader, high-impact medical journals, and its relatively narrow readership makes it a specialized outlet best suited for researchers and clinicians whose work is specifically centered on gastroenterology nursing rather than general medical or broad nursing topics.
