Use when targeting Gastroenterology (AGA) or deciding whether a GI/hepatology manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, framing, method-and-evidence bar, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

# Gastroenterology (gastroenterology) ## Journal positioning Gastroenterology is the flagship journal of the American Gastroenterological Association, published by Elsevier, and the leading venue for the full spectrum of gastrointestinal and liver science — from mechanistic cell and molecular biology through clinical trials, epidemiology, and endoscopy. Unlike Gut (which skews toward clinical GI/hepatology under a BMJ framework), Gastroenterology's AGA identity means the journal explicitly values and publishes high-quality basic and translational science alongside clinical trials, making it the natural home for mechanistic studies with clear disease relevance in the gut, liver, and pancreas. The readership spans GI clinicians, hepatologists, and GI scientists, requiring papers to be accessible across that spectrum. This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official submission guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live author instructions on the AGA / Elsevier Gastroenterology platform. ## When to trigger - The author names Gastroenterology or the AGA as the target venue for a GI or liver manuscript. - A GI/hepatolog

What does the gastroenterology skill do?
Use when targeting Gastroenterology (AGA) or deciding whether a GI/hepatology manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, framing, method-and-evidence bar, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill gastroenterology --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills, a repository with 984 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
