Journal of Applied Laboratory Medicine

Aims & Scope

The Journal of Applied Laboratory Medicine (JALM) is an international, peer-reviewed AACC publication that showcases clinically relevant laboratory topics in applied and translational research, and thoughtful commentary on the practice of clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine.

Through JALM the AACC aims to provide a resource to laboratory professionals and the healthcare team for discovering new adaptive solutions for meeting patient care challenges and driving innovation in the field of laboratory medicine.

JALM also aims to provide Laboratory professionals and the healthcare team with interpretive guidance so that patients receive the most effective care available.

As such, JALM focuses on cutting edge research in applied and translational laboratory medicine.

JALM will consider submissions for publication on laboratory methods, evidence-based laboratory medicine, flow cytometry, hemostasis, management, health economics, best practices, test utilization, critical care, and pediatric testing.

Additionally, the journal will provide a forum for discussion of policy and regulatory issues that impact the field.
