HemaSphere, the Official Journal of the European Hematology Association, Receives Its First Impact Factor
The Hague, June 2022 - HemaSphere, the official peer-reviewed journal of the European Hematology Association (EHA), has received its first Journal Impact Factor™. The preliminary 2021 Journal Impact Factor for HemaSphere is 8.3, placing the journal in the top 15 (first quartile) of all hematology journals in the Journal Citation Report (JCR). Journal Impact Factors, released annually in June by Clarivate Analytics, calculate the frequency of journal article citations over a period of time, thus helping to indicate the impact of a journal to its related field.
HemaSphere published its first issue in December 2017. Over the past five years, HemaSphere has continued to expand, ensuring highly relevant and cutting-edge basic, translational, and clinical hematology research publications are accessible to everyone in the hematology community. The receipt of HemaSphere’s first Journal Impact Factor is a significant milestone that reflects the journal’s quality, trajectory, and impact criteria.
Elizabeth Macintyre, MD, PhD (EHA President) comments:
“It is an absolute pleasure to see HemaSphere’s first impact factor of 8.3. This is a true testament to the quality and wide ranging value of the HemaSphere content, and clearly establishes HemaSphere as the up-and-coming hematology resource in Europe and beyond.”
Jan Cools, PhD (HemaSphere Editor in Chief) comments:
“I feel very privileged to have been able to shape this new hematology journal with EHA and the editorial team, based on the core values of excellent open access science. Extremely happy with this result and looking forward to future developments!”
The positive Journal Impact Factor of 8.3 signifies the caliber of the research published at HemaSphere. While the receipt of an impact factor is an important new achievement for the journal, HemaSphere remains deeply committed to rigorous peer-review, continued quality, and accessible open access publications.
