CLINICS IN LABORATORY MEDICINE

Clinics in Laboratory Medicine is a peer-reviewed, quarterly medical journal published by Elsevier in the United States, identified by the ISSN 0272-2712. As a non-open access publication indexed in the Science Citation Index (SCI), it maintains a stable impact factor at a moderate level and is typically classified in the third or fourth quartile of the Chinese Academy of Sciences journal ranking for the medical sciences. The journal is dedicated to the field of laboratory medicine, encompassing critical research areas such as clinical chemistry, microbiology, hematology, immunology, and molecular diagnostics. Distinguished by its emphasis on high-quality review articles rather than original research, the journal aims to provide laboratory medicine professionals with comprehensive, up-to-date knowledge and practical clinical guidelines. While its rigorous editorial process ensures high academic standards, the predominance of review content may result in fluctuating citation metrics. Consequently, Clinics in Laboratory Medicine serves as a valuable resource for specialists and practitioners seeking authoritative insights and educational content within the diagnostic laboratory sector.
