The Journal of Gastroenterology (JG) is the flagship journal of three periodicals that the Japanese Society of Gastroenterology (JSGE) publishes, the other two being the Journal of the Japanese Society of Gastroenterology (JJSG), published in Japanese, and the Clinical Journal of Gastroenterology (CJG), an internet journal focusing on case reports. During my service on the editorial board of JG, the name of the journal was changed from Gastroenterologia Japonica to the current one, hoping to attract more international interest (Fig. 1). Indeed, during the last 20 years, an increasing number of manuscripts have been submitted to this journal, as the impact factor (IF) of this journal has jumped up from less than 0.5 to over 4.0 at present, which of course is positively correlated. However, JG still stands far behind other major journals such as Gastroenterology [the official journal of the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA)], and Gut [the official journal of the British Society of Gastroenterology (BSG)] in the ranking of gastrointestinal journals (Table 1).
