Blood

Blood is published by the American Society of Hematology, covering content such as blood diseases, and “basic laboratory, translational and clinical investigations in haematology”. It is a specialist journal which will be useful to clinical scientists. Research articles are published under the following categories:

• Clinical Trials and Observations

• Hematopoiesis and Stem Cells
• Immunobiology and Immunotherapy
• Myeloid Neoplasia

• Phagocytes, Granulocytes and Myelopoiesis
• Platelets and Thrombopoiesis
• Red Cells, Iron and Erythropoiesis
• Thrombosis and Hemostasis
• Transfusion Medicine
• Transplantation
• Vascular Biology

This journal is in the top 3 list of impactful journals for this topic category (haematology), as determined by the journal impact factor (2024, Journal Citation Report, Web of Science, accessed 29/01/24).

Journal Impact Factor (JIF)

The Journal Impact Factor (JIF) is the most widely quoted metric and has traditionally been the gold standard. It gives an overall value indicating the average number of times research articles and reviews have been cited by other articles/journals. Typically, it has been an indicator of the impact and influence of a journal on published research in a subject category. However, it is not necessarily an indicator of quality and there is some debate these days regarding its value. You can find the JIF of a journal by typing “impact factor” along with the journal name into Google. I have used Web of Science to find information about the JIF.
