Welcome to Bloods—An International Open Access Journal

Hematologists, hematopathologists, cellular biologists, immunologists, and molecular biologists are invited to contribute to Bloods, a new international multidisciplinary journal for clinicians and experimental researchers of neoplastic and non-neoplastic blood diseases.

Clinical data regarding diagnosis and management are primarily addressed to clinical specialists, while advances in pathogenesis, molecular epidemiology, genetics, immunogenetics, and immunotherapy about neoplastic and non-neoplastic blood diseases are primarily addressed to biologists, epidemiologists, pharmacologists, and immunologists.

The journal will be divided into several sections, which would help the management of the journal and to have better quality control of the manuscripts. The Journal will contain several sections by type of disease and by type of approach. Then, the Editorial Board will include expert professionals responsible for the various sections, together with hematologists.

Aims and Scope

The aim of this journal is to provide a platform for studies from pathogenesis to diagnosis and personalized management through in vivo genomic and immunologic research.

Sections of the Journal

This Journal will include four provisional sections: (1) Non Neoplastic Blood Disorders, (2) Myeloid Leukemia, (3) Lymphoid Leukemia, and (4) Lymphomas. Subsections or points of view will focus on molecular epidemiology, immunobiology, immunogenetics, genomics, immunotherapy, transplantation, target therapy, basket trials, and confirmatory research studies.

The Journal will Consider for Publication

• Opinion on new discoveries and editorial (from the Editor).
• Review (from the Editorial Board Members; also some invited reviews from other top experts): A comprehensive review with a minimum of 4000 words, containing at least one figure and/or table. The review should provide concise and precise updates on the latest (in the recent five years) progress made in a given area of research.
• Original article and systematic review or meta-analyses in research.
• Brief report.
• Perspective.
• Communication.
