However, only scores of them are included in Science Citation Index by the Institute for Scientific Information, with impact factors of only 1 or less. Thus, how to establish a first-class international scientific journal in China is an important but difficult topic that deserves extensive exploration. World Journal of Gastroenterology (WJG) sets a good example although it has experienced setbacks on the road towards success. Concepts and pursuits that affirm the overall development direction, innovation and dreams that provide impetus and aspiration for higher objectives, team work and unique pattern that assure excellent quality and service, and culture and environment that also determine the speed and direction of the development, are believed to be the major factors contributing to the success of WJG. It is recommended that the effective resolution to the above issue is to learn from Chinese examples such as WJG rather than from “how foreign journals do”.展开更多

Normally, three experts are invited to review each article. Decision for acceptance is made only when at least two experts recommend. Otherwise, the article is rejected. This is to ensure that high standards are maintained and the work is original. In medical sciences, there is a tendency for work to be incremental, ideas being developed gradually, with major breakthroughs being relatively rare. Consequently there tends to be significant overlap in which a field already investigated is researched from a different angle or using alternative methods.展开更多
