Blood is a weekly medical journal published by the American Society of Hematology. It was founded by Dr. William Dameshek, the researcher credited with describing the concept of myeloproliferative diseases and participating in the first studies of nitrogen mustard in various blood malignancies, in 1946, and has since been in continuous publication.With 1,364 articles published annually, an impact factor of 10.555, and an Immediacy Index of 2.209, Blood is the most cited peer-reviewed publication in the field. It provides an international forum for the publication of original articles describing basic laboratory, translational, and clinical investigations in hematology. The journal covers all aspects of hematology, including disorders of leukocytes, both benign and malignant, erythrocytes, platelets, hemostatic mechanisms, vascular biology, immunology, and hematologic oncology. All articles undergo a rigorous peer review and are selected on the basis of the originality of the findings, the superior quality of the work described, and the clarity of presentation. Blood is indexed and abstracted by Index Medicus, Excerpta Medica, Current Contents/Life Sciences, Current Contents/Clinical Medicine, Science Citation Index, SCISEARCH, Automatic Subject Citation Alert, ISI/BIOMED, and BIOSIS.

Blood Cells, Molecules & Diseases emphasizes not only blood cells, but also covers the molecular basis of hematologic disease and studies of the diseases themselves. This is an invaluable resource to all those interested in the study of hematology, cell biology, immunology, and human genetics.Research Areas include:• Hematolymphopoiesis• Genetics of Blood Cells and Proteins• Molecular Biology of Blood Cells and Proteins• Pathophysiology of Blood Cells and Proteins• Hematological Malignancies• Disorders of Blood Cells and Coagulation ProteinsNote to Authors - please use the "Submit your paper" button on the right when submittingBenefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.
