About the journal
About the Journal of Spleen And Liver Research
The journal publishes research on the spleen and the liver in one scholarly record: the physiology, pathology, immunology and clinical investigation of both organs, held to a single editorial standard.

Purpose
What the journal is for
The journal exists to give splenic and hepatic research a common venue: one record in which work on either organ, and on the territory the two share, is read under the same editorial standards.
It is written for the people who work on these organs — immunologists, pathologists, surgeons, hepatologists, gastroenterologists and transplant teams, together with the basic scientists whose questions precede any clinical application. Laboratory, clinical, methodological and review contributions are all within its remit, and each is assessed by the standards that suit its own design.
Editorial responsibility rests with a named board that answers for what appears here: scope, method, ethics and reporting. Because the journal is open access, that responsibility is exercised in public, and every published record stays available to read and to cite.
Scientific breadth
The spleen and the liver, in equal measure
Both organs carry a full research program in this journal. Each is read on its own scientific terms, and each can be the whole subject of a paper published here.
Splenic research
The spleen
Work on the spleen reaches from its immune and hematological roles to the pathology of the organ and the surgery that removes or preserves it.
- Splenic immunology, and the immune state that follows asplenia
- Splenic pathology, morphology and imaging
- Splenectomy, partial splenectomy and operative technique
- Hematological and oncological indications for splenic surgery
Hepatic research
The liver
Work on the liver reaches from cellular and metabolic biology to hepatobiliary disease and the clinical study of populations.
- Cellular, molecular and metabolic liver biology
- Viral, metabolic and alcohol-associated liver disease
- Hepatobiliary pathology and clinical hepatology
- Transplantation and hepatobiliary surgery
Where the two meet
Some questions belong to both organs at once, and this is where the journal's two subjects become one. It publishes work on the portal circulation and portal hypertension, on hypersplenism, on transplantation, and on what follows for the immune system when splenic tissue is lost or preserved.

Editorial responsibility
Who answers for what appears here
The editorial board is published in full, with every member's name and profile, and is led by Editor-in-Chief Junfei Jin. Editors recuse themselves from decisions on their own submissions, and those manuscripts are handled independently.
