2008 Impact Factor announced

We are delighted that the JTH Impact Factor has risen to 6.291. The impact factor underlines the Journal's status as the number one specialist Journal in thrombosis and haemostasis research. Below is a chart showing the Journal's growing impact factor since its inception.

Changes to JTH word and author limits.

The Editors have provisionally agreed a relaxing of the policy on word limits for Original Articles and on author limits for Letters to the Editors. It is expected that the majority of Original Articles will continue to be up to 5000 words long including all references and figure legends. However, articles of exceptional quality will be considered which exceed this limit (usually up to 5000 words excluding references and figure legends). The editors have also agreed that high quality Letters to the Editors will be considered with up to eight authors.

These provisional changes are effective immediately and are expected to be confirmed at editorial meetings at the 2009 ISTH Congress in Boston.
