Cellular and Molecular Gastroenterology and Hepatology (CMGH) was established to create a forum for high-quality, mechanistic studies of the gastrointestinal tract, liver, and pancreas. CMGH has now completed its third full year of publication and has developed a reputation as a rigorous and highly regarded platform for basic and translational research. CMGH has also become known for a prompt, fair, and transparent review process in which authors are treated with respect and have access to editors.
