NEW from Blood e-blood Consider submitting to Blood’s newest article type The explosion of new technology platforms has resulted in an increase of paper submissions containing high-quality validated data sets that are “hypothesis generating,” but are not yet developed into a complete biological or clinical story. There is also an increase in papers reporting novel and technically complex methods with detailed validation data, but not yet utilized to answer a critical biological or therapeutic question. In the past these papers have routinely been rejected, often without review. We realize that these papers are of high interest and utility for hematology researchers and have created e-Blood as a forum for publication of the best and most useful of these submissions. e-Blood papers are fully peer-reviewed, PubMed citable, and will be available online-only but will be listed and highlighted in the print edition’s Table of Contents. Submission information can be found in the Blood Author Guide at www.bloodjournal.org. American Society of Hematology 2021 L Street, NW.
