International Journal of Blood Transfusion

Aims and Scope

International Journal of Blood Transfusion (IJBT) covers subject areas such as general hematology, pediatric hematology, transfusion medicine, and cellular therapy, as well as topics on blood safety, collection, and processing. It also explores the use of blood components and transfusion products in clinical and non-clinical settings, the development of patient care, education, and practice, and the use of appropriate policies, regulations, and procedures. 

The journal seeks to publish original and innovative work related to blood transfusion and its related topics. All submissions should be of the highest quality and undergo rigorous peer review. The submission should cover topics not previously reported in any other publication. The authors must provide confirmation of the originality and ethical aspects of the study.

Some of the key areas of focus for IJBT include:

Blood donation: This includes research on blood donor recruitment, blood donor health, blood donor demographics, and blood donor retention.

Blood banking: This includes research on blood product storage, blood product testing, blood product distribution, and blood product safety.

Blood components: This includes research on the preparation and use of red blood cells, platelets, plasma, and other blood components.

Blood safety: This includes research on the prevention of transfusion-transmitted infections, the detection and management of adverse reactions to blood transfusions, and the development of new blood products and technologies to improve blood safety.

Transfusion medicine: This includes research on the use of blood transfusions in various medical specialties, such as surgery, oncology, and critical care.

Transfusion-related immunology: This includes research on the immune response to blood transfusions, the development of immunological assays for blood banking, and the management of transfusion-related immunological complications.

• Patient care and the effectiveness of blood transfusion
• Health services research related to transfusion
• Quality and safety research related to transfusion
• Transmission and pathogens of blood products
• Use of transfusion components and products in clinical and non-clinical settings 
• Development of appropriate policies, regulations and procedures related to transfusion
• The use of advanced technology and techniques in blood transfusion
• The use of vaccines related to transfusion
• Transfusion of autologous and allogeneic blood
• Education, training and research methodology related to transfusion
• Risk factors associated with transfusion 
• Disease outcomes associated with transfusion 
• Cost effectiveness of transfusion

IJBT follows a stringent peer-review procedure as well as guidelines outlined by international bodies. All submissions will be reviewed by independent editors who assess the suitability of the paper and its potential to contribute to the field. Manuscripts judged to be unsuitable for consideration will be rejected without further review. The journal also allows authors to submit manuscripts in languages other than English. 

IJBT promotes the advancement of the science and practice of blood transfusion and encourages the exchange of knowledge and ideas between medical professionals and stakeholders. It is our endeavour to enhance the exchange of information and promote good practice in blood transfusion.
