This journal was formerly published as Plasmatology and continues under the new title Blood & Plasma . Blood & Plasma is a peer-reviewed, gold open-access journal dedicated to advancing the science and clinical understanding of blood and plasma in human health and disease through an interdisciplinary lens. Our mission is to explore their central role in health, diseases, and therapeutics—fostering research that connects molecular biology, clinical practice, pathology, and public health. Our goal is to publish novel research, even if it represents an incremental advance. While our primary focus is on ensuring sound scientific practices, including adherence to ethical standards and the use of robust, transparent, and reproducible methodologies, we recognise the value of incremental contributions to the field. We care more about the quality and reliability of the contribution an article makes than we do the size of that contribution. Blood & Plasma evaluates manuscripts based on how the research was conducted and reported. Please see the Aims and Scope tab for further information. Diversity, Equity and Inclusion statement Blood & Plasma promotes inclusive, open science that reflects the disciplinary, human, and geographic diversity of the research community. Diversity as a core value embodies inclusiveness, mutual respect, and multiple perspectives. We welcome editors, editorial board members, peer reviewers, and authors from all backgrounds, cultures, ethnicities, nationalities, races, religions, sexes, sexual orientations, gender identities, mental or physical (dis)abilities, ages, career stages, socioeconomic status, or any other individual status. We are committed to continually improving our editorial and review processes whilst playing our part in eradicating bias and inequality in all forms.
