DIGESTIVE DISEASES AND SCIENCES

Digestive Diseases and Sciences (ISSN 0163-2116) is a peer-reviewed international journal published by Springer in the United States, dedicated to advancing the understanding of gastrointestinal pathophysiology and clinical practice. Published monthly, the journal encompasses a broad spectrum of research within gastroenterology, hepatology, and related basic and clinical disciplines, with a particular focus on the mechanisms, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of digestive disorders. Key areas of inquiry include inflammatory bowel disease, liver fibrosis, gastrointestinal neoplasms, and functional gastrointestinal disorders. As a non-open access publication indexed in the Science Citation Index (SCI), the journal maintains an impact factor typically ranging between 2.5 and 3.5, positioning it within the third or fourth quartile of the medical sciences category in the Chinese Academy of Sciences journal ranking. While the journal is recognized for its rigorous peer-review process and high editorial standards, it is generally regarded as a mid-tier publication with moderate academic influence, which may entail competitive submission processes and extended review cycles. Consequently, Digestive Diseases and Sciences serves as a valuable resource for researchers and clinicians seeking to disseminate and access high-quality studies in the field of digestive diseases.
