# Blood (blood) ## Journal positioning Blood is the flagship journal of the American Society of Hematology and the highest-impact hematology-specific journal in the world. It spans the full hematology spectrum — from clonal hematopoiesis, bone marrow biology, and coagulation mechanism through to clinical trials in leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma, sickle cell disease, and hemostasis disorders — with an unusual capacity to publish both fundamental mechanistic biology and definitive clinical trial evidence within one journal. The unifying editorial requirement is that work must speak to the hematology field broadly: a pure molecular biology paper without disease relevance, or a clinical trial in a non-hematologic cancer, does not belong here. The readership is the entire ASH membership: hematologists, hematologic oncologists, transfusion medicine specialists, and hematology researchers. This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official submission guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live author instructions on the ASH / Blood platform. ## When to trigger - The author names Blood or the ASH as the target venue for a hemat

What does the blood skill do?
Use when targeting Blood (ASH) or deciding whether a hematology manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, framing, method-and-evidence bar, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill blood --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills, a repository with 909 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
