(ISSN 1179-5522)

Therapeutic Advances in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy is an open-access, peer-reviewed journal delivering the highest quality original research articles, reviews, and scholarly comments on pioneering efforts and innovative studies across all areas of gastrointestinal endoscopy with a strong focus on diagnostic and therapeutic advances. The journal is aimed at an international audience of endoscopists, clinicians, surgeons and researchers in endoscopy and related disciplines, providing an online forum for rapid dissemination of recent research and perspectives in this area.

The journal is dedicated to publishing clinical research. We do not publish preclinical research, including basic laboratory research and animal studies.

Review articles include expert opinion/perspective reviews, narrative reviews and therapeutic area reviews. Systematic reviews, meta-analyses, postmarketing and health economic and pharmacoeconomic reviews are also welcomed. The appropriate EQUATOR Network reporting guidelines should be followed (e.g. CONSORT for randomized, controlled trials and PRISMA for systematic reviews/meta-analyses). The journal endorses the ICMJE requirement that clinical trials are registered in a WHO-approved public trials registry at or before the time of first patient enrolment. However, consistent with the AllTrials campaign, retrospectively registered trials will be considered if the justification for late registration is acceptable.

The journal adheres to a blind review process in which the reviewer's name is routinely withheld from the author unless the reviewer requests a preference for their identity to be revealed. Manuscripts are reviewed by at least two referees; a first editorial decision is generally reached within 3 weeks of Acceptance.
