Our rigorous peer review process typically completes within 4-6 weeks, with members receiving priority processing. Our editorial board of gastrointestinal and veterinary experts ensures thorough evaluation while maintaining efficient turnaround times for publication decisions. Authors receive regular status updates and constructive feedback throughout the review process.

Does the Journal accept comparative studies across species?

Absolutely. We particularly encourage comparative studies examining intestinal function, microbiome composition, and digestive health across different species. This includes translational research bridging findings between animal models and human applications, as well as studies in veterinary medicine, wildlife conservation, agricultural sciences, and one health approaches to digestive disorders.

How does open access benefit gastrointestinal research?

Open access publication ensures your intestinal research is freely available to clinicians, veterinarians, researchers, patients, and the public worldwide without subscription barriers. This significantly increases citation potential, facilitates knowledge translation into clinical and veterinary practice, accelerates advances in digestive health science, and enables broader collaboration across scientific disciplines.

What types of manuscripts are accepted?

We accept a wide range of manuscript types including original research articles, comprehensive reviews, systematic reviews and meta-analyses, case reports, clinical studies, experimental animal studies, short communications, letters to the editor, and commentaries. Special issues may focus on specific topics such as microbiome therapeutics, intestinal diseases, or comparative gastroenterology, providing additional publication opportunities for members.

Are student members eligible for all publication benefits?

Yes, student members receive full publication privileges including unlimited manuscript submissions during their membership period. Students can publish as first author or co-author, building their academic portfolio in gastrointestinal research while benefiting from reduced Article Processing Charges. This provides an excellent foundation for early-career researchers entering digestive health science.
