Abstract: 
Hundreds of scientific journals are published in China. However, only 
scores of them are included in Science Citation Index by the Institute for 
Scientific Information, with impact factors of only I or less. Thus, how 
to establish a first-class international scientific journal in China is an 
important but difficult topic that deserves extensive exploration. World 
Journal of Gastroenterology (WJG) sets a good example although it has 
experienced setbacks on the road towards success. Concepts and pursuits 
that affirm the overall development direction, innovation and dreams that 
provide impetus and aspiration for higher objectives, team work and unique 
pattern that assure excellent quality and service, and culture and 
environment that also determine the speed and direction of the 
development, are believed to be the major factors contributing to the 
success of WJG. It is recommended that the effective resolution to the 
above issue is to learn from Chinese examples such as WJG rather than 
from "how foreign journals do". (c) 2006 The WJG Press. All rights
