Abstract
As the Editor-in-Chief of the World Journal of Gastroenterology, I carefully review all articles every week before a new issue’s online publication, including the title, clinical and research importance, originality, novelty, and ratings by the peer reviewers. Based on this review, I select the papers of choice and suggest pertinent changes (e.g., in the title or text) to the company editors responsible for publication. This process, while time-consuming, is essential for assuring the quality of publications and highlighting important articles that readers may revisit.
Core Tip: Every week before a new issue’s online publication, I perform a careful review of all articles, including the title, originality, novelty, and ratings by the peer reviewers. Based on this review, I select the papers of choice, suggest pertinent changes (e.g., in the title), and share my comments with the company editors responsible for publication. This process is critical for assuring the quality of publications and highlights important articles that readers may revisit.
