Abstract

The Korean Journal of Blood Transfusion (KJBT) is a representative journal in the field of transfusion medicine and has contributed to the development of the national blood business and clinical research. The KJBT was selected as a candidate journal registered in the Korea Citation Index (KCI) in 2009 and was selected as a KCI-registered journal in 2016. The KJBT has published 796 articles, including 601 original articles and 144 case reports from the first issue to volume 31, number 2. The KJBT has continuously introduced new tools for improving journals but was assessed as having a high self-citation rate because of the characteristics of the journal. Nevertheless, it is necessary to increase the number of papers to improve the value of the KJBT. To accomplish this, continuous efforts of the editorial committee will be needed to provide better services to authors and readers and to promote journals.
