The Journal of Haemophilia Practice is an international, open-access, peer-reviewed journal that accepts papers from all members of the multidisciplinary bleeding disorders care team.
Any manuscript that is relevant to current haemophilia practice will be considered for publication by our editorial review team. To this end, we positively welcome:
- Original research
- Case reports
- Case Series
- Reviews in any field of bleeding disorders that are of relevance to current clinical practice
- Clinical Updates that describe current advances in any clinical field related to bleeding disorders
- Editorials that address a particular topic of current interest.
All manuscripts submitted to The Journal of Haemophilia Practice will first be subject to a technical review, including a quality check of all the files submitted, including tables, figures and references. This will include a plagiarism check (see below). Manuscripts will then be reviewed by the Editor-in-Chief, who will decide whether or not to proceed to peer-review by members of our editorial board and invited experts. The identity of the reviewers will not be disclosed to the authors. The review procedure will result in one of three decisions:
- Accept
- Accept subject to revision
- Reject
The editorial decision will be communicated to the authors as soon as the review process has been finalized. In case of revisions, the revised article will be sent to the reviewers who will decide on a new recommendation for revision, acceptance or rejection.
The estimated time from the submission to first decision is approximately 4-6 weeks, and from the final revision to acceptance is approximately 2 weeks. Prior to publication, the corresponding author will receive a proof of their article in order to confirm the accuracy of the text or suggest modifications.
CrossCheck Plagiarism Screening System
The editorial board is participating in a growing community of CrossCheck System's users in order to ensure that the content published is original and trustworthy. CrossCheck is a medium that allows for comprehensive manuscripts screening, aimed to eliminate plagiarism and provide a high standard and quality peer-review process.

All manuscripts to The Journal of Haemophilia Practice should be submitted via our editorial manager system [www.editorialmanager.com/jhaempract/default.aspx]
Each submission should include a covering letter, signed on behalf of all co-authors by the corresponding author, stating that the manuscript is original and has not been published elsewhere or is currently under consideration by another journal (however, we accept that the manuscript may have been submitted to another journal previously). The corresponding author should state clearly whether or not there are any conflicts of interest.
An Open Access Statement will be added to each manuscript.
Authorship
Authorship should be based on the following four criteria:
- Substantial contributions to the conception or design of the work AND
- Drafting the work or revising it critically for important intellectual content AND
- Final approval of the version to be published; AND
- Agreement to be accountable for all aspects of the work in its entirety.
The corresponding author takes primary responsibility for communication with the journal during the manuscript submission, peer review, and publication process, and typically ensures that all the journal’s administrative requirements, such as providing details of authorship, ethics committee approval, clinical trial registration documentation, and gathering conflict of interest forms and statements, are properly completed, although these duties may be delegated to one or more co-authors.
Authors should not submit the same manuscript simultaneously to more than one journal, in the same or different language.
Manuscript types
All articles should be submitted with a short abstract. For original articles, the abstract should be structured using the following headings: Background, Aims, Materials and Methods, Results and Conclusions. Submissions should also include 3-6 keywords for indexing. We do not specify word counts for articles, but as a guide, shorter items (such as case reports and small cohort studies) would usually range from 1000 to 3000 words. Reviews, larger, studies and qualitative studies, which require explanation of methodologies, may range from 3000 to 7,500 words.
Generic drug names should be used in text, tables, and figures.
Suppliers of drugs, equipment, and other brand-name material should be credited in parentheses (company, brand name, city, state, country).
