For more than 50 years, the American Society of Hematology has been committed to helping hematologists conquer blood diseases through its field-leading publications, including the society’s two scientific and medical peer-reviewed journals, Blood (the most cited peer-reviewed publication in the field of hematology) and Blood Advances, as well as Hematology (the ASH Education Program), and The American Society of Hematology Self-Assessment Program (ASH-SAP), currently in its Sixth Edition.
ASH sought a partner for the digital dissemination of this content with knowledge of the current and future technological needs of scholarly publishers as well as a desire to work collaboratively to understand and meet the ever-changing technological needs of academic libraries, researchers, scientists, medical professionals and students.
“Silverchair’s advanced technology, combined with a peerless service offering and stability in our rapidly changing industry, are perfectly aligned to deliver the needs and aspirations of ASH’s digital publishing program” said Thane Kerner, Silverchair CEO. “We are delighted to welcome ASH to the Silverchair publisher community and look forward to collaborating to further enhance their distinguished content on the Silverchair Platform.”
“ASH is pleased to partner with Silverchair to ensure that the Society keeps pace with new publishing enhancements to ensure our scholarly articles remain accessible to hematologists and other medical professionals, regardless of how they are consuming information,” said Nina Hoffman, Chief Publications Officer.
