Aims and scope
When submitting a manuscript, authors will be taken to a service called Paperpal Preflight, an AI-driven tool that checks manuscripts against the journal’s author guidelines. Authors are free to use or bypass this step and submit directly to ScholarOne.

The Journal of Blood Service Economics (JBSE) publishes double-blind, peer-reviewed research in blood system relevant business disciplines such as economics, finance, management, marketing, entrepreneurship, logistics and supply chain, and data analytics. JBSE also accepts health and public policy-related research relevant to the blood and plasma industry.

Though primarily focused on the United States blood system, international research papers will be considered that are comparative in construction or clearly impact, either directly or indirectly, the United States blood and plasma industry.

The journal welcomes empirical based research as well as case studies and commentary/viewpoint. The title covers but is not limited to:

Blood service industry
Blood supply chain
Blood banking landscape
Plasma industry
Patient blood management
Transfusion safety
Regulatory Policies on Blood Banks/Blood Market
Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Blood Banks
