Celiac disease (CD) is common and occurs in both children and adults. A recent bibliometric study revealed that the journal with the most CD articles was the Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition followed by the American Journal of Gastroenterology , a journal predominantly concerned with adult issues. To assess the quality and complexity of CD, research appearing in these journals used strict published criteria to assess the quality of the research in the 30 most recent research articles in each journal. The authors found that the research reported in these articles was of similar high quality and complexity.
