Focus & Scopes

Focus

Journal of Hematology and Transfusion Insights (JHTI) publishes original research and review articles in hematology and blood transfusion. The journal provides a forum for laboratory, clinical, and translational research that advances the understanding of blood and hematological disorders and supports safe, effective, and evidence-based transfusion practice.

The journal welcomes biomedical, epidemiological, and service-related studies when their primary objectives and findings directly address hematology or blood transfusion.

Scope

The journal considers manuscripts in the following areas:

  1. Laboratory hematology and diagnostic methods
    Blood cell morphology, hematological parameters, diagnostic testing, evaluation of laboratory methods and instruments, and quality assurance in hematology laboratories.

  2. Hematological disorders
    Anemia, hemoglobinopathies, disorders of red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets, bone marrow disorders, and hematological malignancies, including their laboratory assessment and clinical implications.

  3. Hemostasis and thrombosis
    Coagulation disorders, bleeding disorders, platelet function, thrombosis, and related diagnostic testing and monitoring.

  4. Blood donation and donor health
    Donor recruitment and retention, donor selection and eligibility, donor health and safety, donation-related adverse events, and factors affecting blood availability.

  5. Blood components and blood banking
    Blood collection, component preparation and processing, storage, preservation, distribution, cold chain management, and quality control of blood and blood components.

  6. Immunohematology and pretransfusion testing
    Blood group systems, red cell antigens and antibodies, antibody screening and identification, compatibility testing, and transfusion-related immunological problems.

  7. Clinical transfusion practice and patient blood management
    Appropriate use of blood components, transfusion support, evaluation of transfusion outcomes, strategies to reduce unnecessary transfusions, and patient blood management.

  8. Blood safety and hemovigilance
    Transfusion-transmitted infections, donor and blood screening, transfusion reactions, traceability, adverse event reporting, and risk reduction throughout the transfusion chain.

  9. Biomedical and epidemiological research in hematology and transfusion
    Cellular, molecular, genetic, immunological, and epidemiological studies directly related to hematological disorders, blood donation, blood components, or transfusion outcomes.

  10. Quality and service improvement in hematology and transfusion
    Studies evaluating access, blood supply and demand, quality systems, and service performance, with clearly defined outcomes relevant to hematology or transfusion practice.

Scope Boundaries

Manuscripts must demonstrate a direct and substantive relationship to hematology or blood transfusion. General biomedical, public health, educational, or healthcare management studies are outside the journal’s scope unless their primary research questions and outcomes specifically address these fields. The inclusion of a blood test or hematological parameter alone does not establish suitability for the journal.

Article Types

The journal accepts original research articles and review articles, including systematic reviews and scoping reviews, within its focus and scope.
