The Journal of Hepatology is a monthly, English language, peer-reviewed journal. As the official journal of EASL, it provides an international forum for the publication of original articles, reviews and letters to the Editor describing basic laboratory, translational, and clinical investigations in hepatology. All articles undergo a rigorous peer review and are selected based on the originality of the findings, the superior quality of the work described, and the clarity of presentation.
In June 2024, Clarivate Analytics released the 2024 update of its Journal Citation Reports, including the 2023 impact factor. EASL’s flagship publication, the Journal of Hepatology, solidified its status as the premier hepatology-only journal with an impact factor of 26.8. It has managed to improve its standing in the highly competitive Gastro-Hep category, securing the third position within this category. In a year where most other publications saw a decline in their impact factors, the score reaffirms that the journal has maintained its reputation as a leading publication for hepatologists worldwide.
