OnlineOpen is a pay-to-publish service from Blackwell that offers authors whose papers are accepted for publication the opportunity to pay up-front for their manuscript to become open access (i.e. free for all to view and download) via the Blackwell Synergy website. Each OnlineOpen article will be subject to a one-off fee of ?300 (equivalent to $2600), excluding colour charges, to be met by or on behalf of the Author in advance of publication. Upon online publication, the article (both full-text and PDF versions) will be available to all for viewing and download free of charge. The print version of the article will also be branded as OnlineOpen and will draw attention to the fact that the paper can be downloaded for free via the Blackwell Synergy service. If you wish your paper to be OnlineOpen you are required to complete the combined payment and copyright licence form: OnlineOpen Form.
A title page should contain the authors name(s), initials and place of work. In addition, the name and full postal address including e-mail, of the author who will deal with correspondence and proofs should be supplied. The full title should be accompanied by a short running title where the title exceeds 47 letters and spaces. In the top right hand corner, the number of manuscript pages and illustrations should be marked. Five keywords should be supplied after the Summary.
Authors should retain one copy of the text, tables and illustrations as the Editor cannot accept responsibility for damage or loss of manuscripts. Authors may wish to consult an appropriate member of the Editorial Board prior to submission of material.
Each page, including the first, should be numbered. Case reports, technical notes and letters should not run to more than five typed pages (including references, tables, etc.) or contain more than one figure.
The text should be preceded by a short summary not exceeding 200 words and should then proceed to sections of Introduction, Materials and methods, Results and Discussion, Tables, footnotes, figure legends (including magnifications) and Acknowledgements which should be submitted on separate sheets.
Fractions of unity and thousands. The traditional and scientific method for indicating the breakpoint between unity and fractions of unity has been the decimal point. Recently the market trader conversion of using a comma to divide whole monetary units from fractions thereof has begun to pervade some scientific literature. International Journal of Laboratory Hematology will continue to use the scientific convention of a decimal point to indicate the break between unity and decimal fractions.
International Journal of Laboratory Hematology will use the well-established scientific convention of the thin space as a means of dividing large numbers into groups of thousands.
Authors should adopt this scientific convention in all manuscripts.

References in the text should use the Harvard system and be in full on first mention, e.g. (Brown, Smith & Williams 1978), but subsequently abbreviated to (Brown et al. 1978), unless there are more than three authors to a paper, in which case et al. should be used throughout. Authors are responsible for the accuracy of their references.
Spelling should conform to The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Current English and units of measurement, symbols and abbreviations with those in Units, Symbols and Abbreviations published and supplied by the Royal Society of Medicine, 1 Wimpole Street, London W1M 8AE. Units should follow the SI system except where earlier conventions persist (e.g. Hb in g/dl).
Abbreviations should be avoided wherever possible. Apart from the abbreviations for SI units only those listed on the inside back cover of the Journal should be used without prior definition.
Illustrations Photographs will be printed unreduced where possible but should not exceed 250 ?170 mm and authors may be asked to contribute to the cost of printing if the space requested for illustrations is considered excessive. In the case of electron micrographs it is desirable that full page width should be utilized.

Colour Authors will be asked to contribute towards the cost of reproduction of colour figures. Please note that if there is colour artwork in your manuscript when it is accepted for publication, Blackwell Publishing require you to complete and return a colour work agreement form before your paper can be published. This form can be downloaded as a PDF from the internet. The web address for the form is: http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/pdf/SN_Sub2000_F_CoW.Pdf

In the event that an author is not able to cover the costs of reproducing colour figures in colour in the printed version of the journal, International Journal of Laboratory Hematology offers authors the opportunity to reproduce colour figures in colour for free in the online version of the article (but they will still appear in black and white in the print version). If an author wishes to take advantage of this free colour-on-the-web service, they should liaise with the Editorial Office to ensure that the appropriate documentation is completed for the Publisher.
