Public Access
The American Society of Hematology supports free access to Blood on the broadest possible basis. Although ASH cannot adopt or support a publishing model that is not economically sustainable over the long run, certain sections of the journal are always free online: Abstracts and tables of contents Inside Blood commentaries How I Treat articles 5 free research articles every issue Blood maintains a 12-month embargo for current articles, but content older than 12 months is free to all online. back to top
Patient Information
Although we are unable to provide answers to specific and/or individual questions about hematological problems, conditions, diagnoses, or treatments, the American Society of Hematology[1], publisher of Blood, provides links to several third-party websites offering information relating to blood diseases and related disorders. Please visit the Patient Resources[2] section of the ASH website for further information. Patients interested in obtaining a copy of an access-controlled article in Blood that may be helpful to their situation may do so by e-mailing a request to the Blood Publishing Office[3]. The request should include the following information: Article citation information, including author(s), title of article, issue date & page number (example: Rafik Terra et al., T-cell generation by lymph node resident progenitor cells, July 1, 2005, p. 193). All citation information can be found with the article or abstract information online. Your name and email address
ASH has extended its public access option to any author who would like their article to be immediate and freely available at publication. Upon payment of the $2,000 public access fee, in addition to the regular publication fees charged to authors, ASH will deposit the final, published version of the article into PMC and ensure free and immediate access to the article on the Blood Web site. Authors can find out more information about the public-access policy for Blood during the manuscript submission [9] process. back to top
