- 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 an impact factor of 16.562 (2018), Blood is the most cited peer-reviewed publication in the field of hematology. 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 Online provides access to First Edition Papers. These are papers that have been peer reviewed and accepted into Blood, but not copy edited. First Edition Papers are fully integrated with the regular issues of Blood Online. They are searchable via Blood's website, Cite Track, and Medline. First Edition Papers are also citable using DOI until the article is published in its final form. Blood Online also provides a large amount of free content to the public. Additionally, all articles are made publicly available twelve (12) months after publication. We also provide articles to patients free-of-charge (please visit our Public Access page for details). In addition to the fifty-two (52) weekly issues of Blood published annually, an annual abstract supplement is published just before the ASH Annual Meeting each year. The abstracts have been searchable online via Blood's website since 2004.
