A note from the Editor-in-Chief: a time of gratitude

We are absolutely thrilled to share that iGIE has been accepted for indexation in PubMed.This is a tremendous milestone for our young journal, and what a wonderful way to ring in 2026! iGIE began just over 3 years ago, thanks to the incredible vision and support of the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) and the leadership of Dr Chris Thompson as the inaugural Editor-in-Chief.As ASGE's newest online-only journal, iGIE is dedicated to innovation, investigation, and insights related to gastrointestinal endoscopy.It offers a forum for early preclinical and clinical studies, interesting cases, historical and industry insights, as well as showcases interdisciplinary care across our health care providers and work from around the globe, including guidelines, consensus statements, reviews, and clinical discussions with geographic relevance outside the United States.We are incredibly proud of how far iGIE has come in such a short time.I wanted to personally thank our entire team, as well as all the authors who entrusted us with their outstanding work, especially as a new journal.I am deeply indebted to the amazing trio of Stephanie Kinnan, Sarah Trotto, and Becca Meier from our Editorial Office, who truly make the journal possible and without whom PubMed indexation would have remained only a dream.They tirelessly shepherd all of us, corralling us along the straight and narrow path even as some of us stray at times (including myself!), to ensure each issue gets published in a timely manner and every article receives the thoughtful attention it deserves.I am also incredibly grateful to our team of extraordinary Senior Associate and Associate Editors.Their enthusiasm for iGIE and daily commitment to treating every submission with the same care they would want for their own work have been foundational
