Creating an international network for science and clinical progress: democratizing dissemination of advances in global hematology

摘要

In honor of the 100th issue of Blood Advances, I was asked to write about the impact of new media, including open access online journals such as Blood Advances, on global hematology. My own global perspective has been shaped enormously by my global health volunteer work with the American Society of Hematology (ASH). As I will discuss here, like the global health outreach that many of us do, open access publications also play a critically important role in public health, and in hematology, on a global scale.
