The American Society of Hematology (ASH) will launch an open-access journal to complement Blood, its flagship publication and the most-cited journal in hematology. Blood Advances™ will offer a unique focus on scholarly and educational content that complements and expands on topics beyond the scope addressed in Blood. An online platform that provides opportunities for increased communication between authors and readers will be a hallmark of ASH's new publication.
Following an international search, Dr. Robert S. Negrin, professor of medicine at Stanford University and associate editor of Blood, has been named founding editor-in-chief.
By accepting manuscripts deemed to be either novel or definitive, Blood Advances will publish important studies believed to be of great interest to the ASH membership. Furthermore, the online platform of Blood Advances will facilitate active interaction between readers and authors, and utilize advancements in video and graphics, including visual abstracts and enhanced commentary.
Blood Advances will announce a call for papers during the summer of 2016, and the first issue will launch at the 58th ASH Annual Meeting in San Diego, December 3-6, 2016.
