How we publish
Submissions arrive through our case submission form or by direct invitation. Each is reviewed by the editor for clinical accuracy, image quality, and educational value. Accepted cases go through one editorial pass for clarity and consistency before publication; the original author reviews the edited version before it goes live.
Patient anonymity is preserved in every image and narrative. We cite peer-reviewed primary sources where articles make clinical claims that aren't general knowledge. We accept no third-party advertising, no industry sponsorship, and no paid placement. We may occasionally promote EndoCollab resources, including memberships, courses, and books.
Independence
Gastroscholar is an editorially independent publication of EndoCollab, a community for practicing GI endoscopists. The publication funds itself through reader-supported newsletter subscriptions and the EndoCollab community; it does not run third-party advertising or sponsored content. Industry-funded research, when it appears in a referenced source, is identified as such.
Audience
Gastroscholar is written for clinicians: practicing gastroenterologists and endoscopists, surgeons performing endoscopy, GI fellows and IM residents considering GI, advanced practice providers, and endoscopy nurses. The content assumes a clinical background. We do not write for, and the site is not appropriate for, patients seeking advice about their own conditions.
