The American Association for Clinical Chemistry (AACC) has rejuvenated its online presence with the launch of the new website, https://aaccjnls.org, dedicated to the Journal of Clinical Laboratory Science. Designed to improve user experience, the site streamlines access to vital research articles, reviews, and clinical studies in the field of laboratory medicine. With an increasing emphasis on the accessibility of scientific information, this platform aims to serve laboratory professionals, clinicians, and researchers by providing open access to a wealth of knowledge.
The website includes features such as user-friendly navigation, advanced search functionality, and easy access to current and archived issues. Additionally, it hosts webinars and provides resources to keep professionals updated on cutting-edge research and methodology.
In a competitive landscape, AACC’s Journal faces strong rivalry from other prominent journals in clinical laboratory science, such as Clinical Chemistry, published by the American Association for Clinical Chemistry itself, and the Journal of Clinical Pathology from BMJ. These journals offer similar aims, catering to an audience interested in the latest research, technical advancements, and case studies in laboratory practices. Moreover, open access alternatives like PLOS ONE and BMC Clinical Pathology are also challenging traditional models by providing free access to scholarly articles, thereby broadening the reach of research findings.
The AACC’s renewed initiative aims to bolster its position in this dynamic sector by ensuring its research remains accessible and relevant to the evolving needs of healthcare professionals.
