Gastroenterology. 2013 Jul;145(1):16-31. doi: 10.1053/j.gastro.2013.05.019.

Abstract

Fourteen editors-in-chiefs have steered Gastroenterologyto success since its inception in 1943. Five (Alvarez, Ivy, Aaron, Grossman, and Donaldson) are no longer with us. Their personalities and editorships, along with those of Marvin Sleisenger, are presented by their admirers. Fordtran, Ockner, Goyal, LaRusso, Podolsky, Brenner, Rustgi, and Omary describe their own backgrounds, experiences, and personal reflections on serving as editor-in-chief of Gastroenterology.
