EDITORIAL PROCESS & PEER REVIEW

The Editorial Board of Documenta Haematologica – Revista Romana de Hematologie adheres to the principles of the International Council of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), the World Association of Medical Editors (WAME), the Council of Science Editors (CSE), the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), the US National Library of Medicine (NLM), the World Medical Association (WMA), the US Office of Research Integrity (ORI), the European Association of Science Editors (EASE), and the International Society of Managing and Technical Editors (ISMTE).

All manuscripts submitted to the Documenta Haematologica – Revista Romana de Hematologie will be assessed first by the Editorial Board. The manuscripts will be submitted as attachments to the email in Word format to secretariat@hemato.ro

Note: The authors must provide a correspondence e-mail address

Some manuscripts will be returned to authors at this stage if they are deemed more appropriate for another journal, if the paper fails to meet submission requirements, or if they are considered to have insufficient priority. Submissions that advance in the publication process will undergo appropriate blind peer review by at least two independent reviewers, and all papers provisionally accepted for publication will undergo a detailed statistical review. The review period is expected to last between 2-4 weeks.
All accepted manuscripts are peer-reviewed and carefully corrected in style and language, if necessary, to make the presentation clear (there is no fee for this service).

The Editor-in-Chief is responsible for the final decision on each submission.
The Executive Assistant will notify the corresponding author if the submitted manuscript has been accepted for publication. If the reviewers solicit revisions, a revised manuscript must be returned to the Editorial Board as stipulated in the relevant decision letter.
It is a condition of publication in the “Documenta Haematologica – Revista Romana de Hematologie” that authors grant an exclusive license to the SRH – Romanian Society of Hematology. As part of the license agreement, authors may use their material in other publications, provided the DHRRH is acknowledged as the original place of publication and is notified in writing in advance.
