ISTH and HTRS join forces to extend journal collaboration for RPTH

CHAPEL HILL, NC, USA, March 1, 2024– The International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) and the Hemostasis and Thrombosis Research Society (HTRS) announce the extension of their collaboration for the fourth consecutive year for the ISTH’s open access, online-only journal Research and Practice in Thrombosis and Haemostasis (RPTH).

The continued collaboration offers the opportunity to foster scholarly exchange with the publication on high-quality research from HTRS members, encompassing both original research and review articles. The HTRS Publications Committee Chair will serve on the RPTH Editorial Board and all accepted publications will be hosted within the journal’s HTRS Collection.

RPTH, now in its seventh year of operation, is dedicated to science and discourse among researchers, clinicians, nurses, allied health professionals, as well as patients. RPTH serves as a catalyst for global discussion and connects scientists and clinicians with the non-scientist public to discuss the latest findings and research in the field.

"We are thrilled to continue our collaboration with HTRS for the fourth consecutive year. This partnership underscores our shared commitment to advancing scientific research and promoting excellence in the field of thrombosis and haemostasis,” said Michael Makris, M.D, RPTH Editor-in-Chief. “The contributions of HTRS members enrich our journal and we look forward to furthering our mutual goals of knowledge dissemination and academic exchange.”

A key feature of the collaboration includes the publishing of abstracts accepted to the biennial HTRS 2025 Scientific Symposium, highlighting the contributions of invited speakers in RPTH. Additionally, throughout the year, ISTH and HTRS will embark on joint marketing and communication opportunities.
