Advances in Hematology and Oncology Research is an international peer-reviewed journal for those involved in teaching or practice in the fields of “Hematology and Oncology” as well as organizational development and education connected to these areas of interest. We particularly welcome high-quality original research that advances knowledge on these topics generalizable to other settings and countries. In addition to research papers, we welcome less formal contributions, including short reports, which would make the journal more accessible.

Plagiarism: Manuscript Duplicity is a crime thus Plagiarism should be completely avoided. Figures and Tables extracted from any sources are considered malpractice. The Data extracted must be cited and this journal does not encourage the exact reproduction of any content.

Article Processing charges

Advances in Hematology and Oncology Research (ISSN: 2692-5516) is an Open Access publisher and the standard charge for publishing is $3019 payable on acceptance of each paper. If you have any issues, please contact the editors for further information through the given email: opast.ahor@gmail.com.

Article Types: Advances in Hematology and Oncology Research accepts Original Articles, Review, Mini Review, Case Reports, Editorial, Letter to the Editor, Commentary, Rapid Communications and Perspectives, Case in Images, Clinical Images, and Conference Proceedings.

Research Articles: Research Articles are written based on laboratory observations or research in clinical settings following standard research methods and techniques such as empirical surveys by collecting data from a representative sample size. The research article critically analyzes the data/observations using appropriate statistical tools, tabulations, charts, and diagrams to draw conclusions. Research articles must not exceed the word limit of 8000 and must follow the prescribed format ready for publication. The chosen classification will appear in the published manuscript above the manuscript title.

Review Articles: Review articles are also scientific observations, yet they can be written based on the existing research data published in various forms. For example, an author may write a review article by analyzing a series of published documents on traumatic brain injury cases and intensive care mechanisms and drawing conclusions, suggesting changes if any. Review articles should be within the 6000-words limit.

Case Studies: Case studies are developed based on the exclusive study of a specific case or situation. A study on children suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder in war-affected zones can be a case study because it observes the children’s mental apprehensions alone in the given socio-economic, politically disastrous conditions. Case studies can be from 3000-5000 words.

Short Communication: Short communication is a small discussion of any given topic within 800 words and it generally would not follow any specific research technique. It rather observes any scientific concept that is published in the current or previous issue and expresses the writer’s views on it.

Editorial Articles: Editors are expert opinions, which generally would not exceed 800 words. The expert, being an authority on the subject writes on recent trends, developments, challenges, etc., and observes/warns the readers on a specific issue. 

Letters to the Editors: Letters to the editors are the reader’s perspectives, opinions, and observations to the editor seeking clarity, questioning the validity, and making observations on the gaps in the research published in the current or previous issue. Letters must not exceed 400 to 500 words.

Perspectives: Perspectives are experts’ opinions on policies, principles, and decisions of the government, and their consequences on the people or society. Systematics and valid observations of a specialist on aging may write perspectives on recent medicinal practices in treating dementia among the aged, without exceeding 1000 words.

Proceedings: Proceedings are collections of abstracts accepted for presentation at the conference. Bibliographic representation of such proceedings adds value to the participant’s profile and academic indexing.

Manuscripts: In general the Manuscripts are classified into the following groups based on the criteria noted below. The author(s) are encouraged to request a particular classification upon submitting (please include this in the cover letter); however the Editor and the Associate Editor retain the right to classify the manuscript as they see fit, and it should be understood by the authors that this process is subjective to some degree. The chosen classification will appear in the printed manuscript above the manuscript title.

Note: Authors must prepare and submit a cover letter with their manuscript

Author Information: Complete names and affiliation of all authors, including contact details of corresponding author (Telephone, Fax, and E-mail address).

Abstract: The abstract should be informative and completely self-explanatory, briefly present the topic, state the scope of the experiments, indicate significant data, and point out major findings and conclusions. The abstract should summarize the manuscript content in 300 words or less. Standard nomenclature should be used and abbreviations should be avoided. The preferable format should accommodate a description of the study background, methods, results, and conclusion. Following the abstract, a list of keywords (3-10) and abbreviations should be included.

Text Introduction: The introduction should set the tone of the paper by providing a clear statement of the study, the relevant literature on the study subject, and the proposed approach or solution. The introduction should be general enough to attract a reader’s attention from a broad range of scientific disciplines.

Materials and Methods: This section should provide a complete overview of the design of the study. Detailed descriptions of materials or participants, comparisons, interventions, and types of analysis should be mentioned. However, only new procedures should be described in detail; previously published procedures should be cited and important modifications of published procedures should be mentioned briefly. Capitalize trade names and include the manufacturer’s name and address.

Results: The results section should provide complete details of the experiment that are required to support the conclusion of the study. The results should be written in the past tense when describing findings in the authors’ experiments. Previously published findings should be written in the present tense. Results and discussion may be combined or in a separate section. Speculation and detailed interpretation of data should not be included in the results but should be put into the discussion section.

Acknowledgment: This section includes acknowledgment of people, grant details, funds, etc.
