Scope

• The mission of the journal is to publish impactful digestive biology research that ranges from mechanisms of normal function to pathobiology and covers a broad spectrum of themes in gastroenterology, hepatology and pancreatology该刊宗旨是刊载有影响力的消化生物学研究，范围从正常功能的机制到病理生物学，覆盖胃肠病学、肝病学与胰腺病学的广泛主题。
• It reports advances in the cell biology, immunology, physiology, microbiology, genetics and neurobiology of gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary and pancreatic health and disease该刊报道胃肠道、肝胆与胰腺健康及疾病在细胞生物学、免疫学、生理学、微生物学、遗传学与神经生物学方面的进展。
• The research it publishes is hypothesis driven and mechanistically novel, and original articles are full-length reports of original research relevant to digestive biology该刊发表的研究以假设驱动、机制上具有新意；原创论文为与消化生物学相关的完整研究报告。
• As an all-digital journal it exploits the online platform by carrying graphical abstracts, animated illustrations, large data sets, video microscopy, endoscopy and whole animal imaging approaches作为完全数字化的期刊，该刊充分利用在线平台承载图形摘要、动画插图、大规模数据集、视频显微镜、内镜与整体动物成像等内容。
• The journal focuses on basic and translational gastrointestinal research rather than purely clinical reports, and it encourages work that links mechanism to disease该刊聚焦基础与转化型胃肠道研究，而非纯临床报告，并鼓励把机制与疾病联系起来的工作。
• All content is open access, so articles are freely available to readers worldwide upon publication该刊全部内容为开放获取，文章出版后即向全球读者免费开放。
