About The Hematologist

The Hematologist: ASH News & Reports is ASH’s official member newsletter. The Hematologist is published six times per year and covers important developments in hematologic research, clinical practice, and health-care policy, as well as important updates about Society events, initiatives, and services.

Editorial Purpose and Scope
The purpose of The Hematologist is:

• to facilitate communication between ASH and its membership regarding the services provided by ASH on behalf of its members,
• to enhance communication throughout the ASH membership regarding important developments in the discipline, and

Columns
In each issue, The Hematologist delivers concise, lucid, and provocative digests of major breakthrough articles recently published in the literature, via the Diffusion department. Diffusion articles translate basic science breakthroughs for practicing clinicians and, conversely, clinical breakthroughs for laboratory investigators, as published in peer-reviewed scientific journals. Also in every issue are summaries of clinical trials that are currently recruiting, published in the “Clinical Trials Corner.” These articles are written by a board of Contributing Editors, composed of senior-level hematologists with a variety of areas expertise, located at institutions worldwide. (Visit the Editorial Board page for a complete list of current and past Contributing Editors and Editors in Chief.)

Regular feature-length articles in The Hematologist include “Ask the Hematologist” articles, offering expert opinion focused on challenging diagnostic and management issues, and “Mini Review,” which present concise reviews of a variety of topics that illustrate the relationship of basic research to clinical hematology; "No Data Zone" article that provide expert contributions spotlighting areas of hematology that lack data; and more.
