The American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG) will launch Human Genetics and Genomics Advances, a new journal that will provide a high-quality, scientific society-led, fully open access option for the human genetics and genomics research community. The Society also highlighted expanding content directions for its flagship publication, The American Journal of Human Genetics (AJHG).
HGG Advances will publish across the complete spectrum of human genetics and genomics research. It will aim to build the human genetics and genomics knowledge base, and will be home for a wide range of research that meets ASHG's enduring standards for scientific rigor, validity, and reproducibility. The journal will offer rapid review and consider direct submissions as well as offer prompt, easy cascade from AJHG for authors interested in that option. It may also experiment with publishing and review models that speed and advance research goals. Submissions will be accepted starting later in 2019, with the first articles slated to be published in spring 2020.
Both AJHG and HGG Advances will remain owned by the Society and will be published in partnership with Cell Press, ASHG's longstanding publishing partner.
Bruce Korf, AJHG Editor, has played a significant role in helping the Society assess this opportunity to expand its publishing program and has worked with a distinguished group of ASHG members from many fields to discuss potential areas of innovation for the new journal.
