Thrombosis Journal is a leading open access journal in the field of thrombosis research. The journal focuses on all aspects of thrombosis, such as diagnosis of arterial and venous thrombosis, new antithrombotic treatments, new developments in the understanding, diagnosis and treatment of atherosclerosis vessel disease, relations between haemostasis and vascular disease, hypertension, diabetes, immunology and obesity. Original basic, translational laboratory and clinical research are published in the Journal along with results of therapeutic trials.
Established in 2003, the journal is owned and published by BMC, part of Springer Nature. Thrombosis Journal covers all the latest high interest topics and its content gets accessed over 18,000 times each month.
BMC is seeking to appoint a co-Editor-in-Chief to succeed Professor Hugo ten Cate, who will be retiring as Editors of the journal at the end of February 2020. The co-Editor-in-Chief will work alongside Prof Yukio Ozaki.
The newly appointed Editor-in-Chief will have full editorial responsibility for the content published in the Journal and for ensuring that the ethos, editorial standards, policies and scope of Thrombosis Journal are maintained.
