The journal
The Practicing Endoscopist is adding a peer-reviewed journal track for selected cases, technical notes, and clinical images. The existing teaching archive stays editor-reviewed and is not relabeled as peer reviewed.
What this page is
This is the public record for the journal track: title, publisher, issn 3144-3109 (online), scope, and the policies that will govern peer-reviewed articles. Teaching cases continue to publish on the main site under the editorial standards already in force.
Scope
Practice-oriented GI endoscopy for clinicians. Journal-track article types:
- Case report
- Clinical image
- Technical note
- Procedural review
We do not publish original clinical trials, industry-sponsored content, or articles aimed at patients. Off-label device or drug use must be labeled as such.
How the two tracks work
Teaching track (current archive): editor review by Klaus Mönkemüller for accuracy, images, and teaching value. These articles are educational cases. They are not peer-reviewed journal articles.
Journal track (opening): external peer review, required declarations, and received / accepted / published dates. Only articles that complete that process will be labeled peer reviewed.
ISSN 3144-3109 (Online) is assigned. The journal track opens when at least five editorial board members are seated. Until then, new cases still go through the teaching-case form.
Publication model
Continuous online publication. A teaching dispatch is emailed Saturday mornings. Journal-track articles will appear on this site with their own dates and will not be held for an issue number unless we later add volumes.
Open access and charges
Journal-track articles will be free to read. There is no submission fee and no article processing charge. Authors keep copyright and license the work under CC BY-NC 4.0. Full terms are on Policies.
