Propose a Special Issue
Curate clinical excellence and lead the dialogue in specialized oncology research.
Drive Discovery as a Guest Editor
Journal of Hematology and Oncology Research invites leading clinicians and researchers to propose special, thematic collections that address critical challenges in modern medicine.
Lead a high-impact collection that accelerates the translation of lab discovery to patient care.
In the rapidly evolving landscapes of hematology and oncology, general literature often lacks the depth required for specific therapeutic breakthroughs. Special Issues provide a focused forum where interdisciplinary teams can explore niche topics—such as novel CAR-T cell applications or genomic surveillance in rare blood cancers—with the granularity they deserve. As a Guest Editor at Journal of Hematology and Oncology Research, you shape the scholarly conversation and help clinicians navigate complex data landscapes.
Establish Leadership
Position yourself as a thought leader and key opinion leader (KOL) by curating an authoritative reference work for your peers.
Collaborative Network
Forge deep connections with international research consortia and young investigators specifically working in your field of expertise.
Global Visibility
Special Issues receive priority indexing and dedicated landing pages, ensuring your curated collection reaches a worldwide clinical audience.
Open Science Impact
By publishing open access, you ensure that even researchers in resource-limited settings can benefit from the curated knowledge.
We welcome innovative proposals across all areas of hematology and oncology. Topics of particular interest for 2026 include:
- Immunotherapeutic breakthroughs in solid tumor microenvironments.
- Anaemia management strategies in diverse patient populations.
- Genomic surveillance of pediatric leukemia and lymphoma.
- Advancements in cervical and breast cancer screening technology.
- Novel cell-based therapies for refractory blood disorders.
To ensure the highest scientific quality, your special issue proposal should contain the following elements:
2. Scope and Objectives: Detailed research questions to be addressed and the expected contribution to current medical practice.
3. Guest Editorial Team: Names, affiliations, and brief bios (150 words) of the proposed editors. Co-editors from diverse geographic backgrounds are encouraged.
4. Target Contributors: A list of potential authors who have already expressed interest or are highly relevant to the theme.
5. Implementation Timeline: A realistic plan for submission deadlines and final publication (typically spanning 6-9 months).
Guest editors are the clinical heart of the Special Issue. Your responsibilities include:
- Developing a compelling call for papers and identifying key contributors.
- Overseeing the peer-review process for themed submissions.
- Serving as the primary point of contact for technical and ethical inquiries.
- Writing an authoritative editorial introduction to frame the collection.
- Maintaining rigorous ethical standards and declaring all potential conflicts of interest.
