Scope and Priority Topics

Advances in Leukemia publishes studies across acute and chronic leukemias, myelodysplastic syndromes, and related hematologic malignancies with clear clinical implications.

We prioritize submissions that improve diagnosis, stratification, treatment response, or patient outcomes in leukemia care.

Translational work that links molecular mechanisms to clinical decisions is strongly encouraged.

Include a short running title and corresponding author contact details on the title page.

Ensure tables are editable and cited in the text in sequential order.

Describe data preprocessing steps and provide analysis code where feasible.

Include acknowledgments for medical writing or statistical support.

Use a structured abstract with objectives, methods, results, and conclusion.

Include trial registration details in the abstract and methods section when applicable.

Provide complete author affiliations and corresponding author contact details.

List funding sources and sponsor roles clearly on the title page.

Disclose conflicts of interest, including pharmaceutical relationships.

Describe patient selection criteria and exclusion details in the methods.

Specify primary endpoints and secondary outcomes with definitions.

Include statistical methods, software versions, and handling of missing data.

Provide power calculations or justification for sample size when required.

Use SI units and define abbreviations at first use.

Figures should be high resolution and de-identified with clear legends.

Tables must be editable and include units and abbreviations in footnotes.

Supplementary files should be labeled and cited in the main text.

Describe data preprocessing and analytic pipelines for reproducibility.

Use reporting guidelines appropriate to study design, including REMARK for prognostic studies.

Check consistency between abstract results and main text findings.

Provide clear descriptions of interventions and comparators.

State whether protocols were registered and provide identifiers.

Clarify deviations from registered protocols when applicable.

Include acknowledgments for medical writing or statistical assistance.

Confirm that patient images have explicit consent for publication.

Use plain language summaries when appropriate for clinical translation.

Ensure all supplementary datasets include documentation and codebooks.

Provide data citations for external repositories and accession numbers.

Report adverse events and safety monitoring for interventional studies.

Use consistent terminology for leukemia subtypes and classification systems.

Include manuscript word count and figure/table counts on the title page.

Describe clinical setting and care context for cohort studies.

Provide registry identifiers for clinical trial submissions.

Ensure tables and figures align with narrative interpretations.

Verify author order and contributions before final submission.

Confirm compliance with journal ethics and transparency policies.

Ensure all datasets and supplementary materials have consistent naming conventions.

Include clinical trial protocols or registration summaries when requested by reviewers.

Provide clear figure legends that can stand alone without the main text.

State whether any AI tools were used for language support and disclose appropriately.

Ensure all patient identifiers are removed from images and datasets.

Describe consent procedures for case reports and clinical images.

Provide study timelines and follow-up periods for longitudinal analyses.

Include rationale for subgroup analyses and multiplicity adjustments.

Ensure statistical assumptions are stated and validated where necessary.

Report confidence intervals alongside key effect estimates.

Describe inclusion of control cohorts or comparator arms clearly.

Use consistent terminology for leukemia subtypes across all sections.

Include details on laboratory assays and thresholds for biomarker studies.

Document software and pipelines for genomic or bioinformatics analyses.

Ensure references are checked for accuracy and completeness before submission.

Provide a summary of clinical relevance in the discussion section.

Include acknowledgments for contributing institutions or collaborative groups.

Ensure supplementary figures meet resolution and labeling standards.

Confirm that all authors approve the final proofs before publication.

Quick Summary
  • Advances in Leukemia publishes studies across acute and chronic leukemias, myelodysplastic syndromes, and related hematologic malignancies with clear clinical implications.
  • We prioritize submissions that improve diagnosis, stratification, treatment response, or patient outcomes in leukemia care.
  • Translational work that links molecular mechanisms to clinical decisions is strongly encouraged.
  • Include a short running title and corresponding author contact details on the title page.

Clinical Relevance

Broad submissions can miss clear clinical impact.
Frame findings around diagnostic, therapeutic, or outcome improvements.

Mechanistic Insight

Mechanistic data without translation is harder to evaluate.
Connect biomarkers or pathways to patient outcomes.

Therapy Innovation

Novel therapies need clear response definitions.
Report endpoints, durability, and safety outcomes explicitly.

Data Transparency

Missing datasets limit trust and reuse.
Provide clear data availability and access terms.
