A Great Success! 5.164 Is the First Impact Factor for AGSurg

The 2020 impact factor (IF being more than 5) in the surgical area, especially gastroenterology, is as follows: JAMA Surgery (IF = 14.766), Annals of Surgery (12.969), Endoscopy (10.093), American Journal of Transplantation (8.086), Digestive Endoscopy (7.559), Hepatobiliary Surgery and Nutrition (7.293), Journal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Sciences (7.027), British Journal of Surgery (6.939), American Journal of Surgical Pathology (6.394), JAMA Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery (6.223), Journal of the American College of Surgeons (6.113), International Journal of Surgery (6.071), Liver Transplantation (5.799), and Annals of Surgical Oncology (5.344). Let's all agree here and now that we will attain a higher state and lead the world in the field of gastroenterological surgery. [...]once we have an IF of more than 5, we hope many high-quality papers will be submitted to AGS from all over the world.
