About the journal
|
|
Acta Gastro-Enterologica on the web has now more than one year of existence. This had a great impact on the number of submissions to our Journal with a fifty percent increase of original papers submitted to our peer-reviewing in 2004 compared to 2003. The Editorial Board has been renewed and will focus his energy on increasing the impact factor and on substantially shorten the delay between submission, acceptance and publication. New procedures to facilitate electronic exchanges will be implemented. Submission of papers will from now on only be possible through e-mailing. We hope that this will further increase the national and international interest to the Journal and consolidate it as a first step for young authors to reach the international notoriety.
