Trial subscription

Institutional subscribers may request a FREE trial subscription for access to Blood Online. This offer is available to institutions that have not subscribed to Blood in the past 2 years. The free trial will be available for 30 days after the online account is activated. Please email the bloodsubs{at}hematology.org to request a free trial.

Site licenses

Blood Online is pleased to provide site licenses. Single-site licenses allow authorized users at one geographical site (see below) online access to Blood through the use of the institution's IP addresses. Authorized users at the site are employees, faculty, staff, and students officially associated with the institution, as well as patrons of the institution's library facilities. Access via proxy server is permissible for authorized users. Authenticated and authorized users affiliated with the one subscribing location may access Blood Online from remote sites (e.g., through dial-in, telnet, etc.). Access via open proxy server is prohibited. For the most part, an Institutional Online Subscription authorizes use at a localized site, which may consist of several buildings that are administered jointly. A "site" is an organizational unit and may be academic or nonacademic. For organizations with facilities located in more than one city, each city office is considered a different site. For organizations within the same city that are administered independently, each office is considered a different site. For example, each campus in the State University of New York system is considered a different site, and each branch or office of Upjohn Laboratories is considered a different site.

Institutions that purchase a multi-site license may also purchase one archival print subscription at a discount rate. Multi-site licenses can be purchased directly from the publisher or via subscription agents. The multi-site license agreement must be accepted before the activation process can be completed. To request a quote for a multi-site license, please email the bloodsubs{at}hematology.org.

Who from my institution can access Blood Online?

An institutional online subscription permits unlimited simultaneous Internet access to Blood Online by authorized users at one geographical site (see below) through the use of the institution's IP addresses. Authorized users at the site are employees, faculty, staff, and students officially associated with the institutional subscriber, as well as patrons of the subscriber's library facilities. Access via proxy server is permissible for authorized users. Authenticated and authorized users affiliated with the one subscribing location may access Blood Online from remote sites (e.g., through dial-in, telnet, etc.). Access via open proxy server is prohibited.

For the most part an institutional online subscription authorizes use at a localized site, which may consist of several buildings that are administered jointly. A "site" is an organizational unit and may be academic or nonacademic. For organizations with facilities located in more than one city, each city office is considered a different site. For organizations within the same city that are administered independently, each office is considered a different site. For example, each campus in the State University of New York system is considered a different site, and each branch or office of Upjohn Laboratories is considered a different site. Note: exceptions to these restrictions will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Please contact the bloodsubs{at}hematology.org to request an exception.

How does institutional access work?

When someone attempts to use Blood Online, our server checks to see if the requesting computer is within the list of internet IP addresses provided by a subscribing institution. If it is, the reader will be able to use all those services enabled for institutional readers. For institutional subscribers, there are no user names or passwords to remember, and there is no limit on the number of readers from your institution who may access Blood Online simultaneously.

If our Blood Online subscription expires and at some later date we reinstate our subscription, will we have access to all years of the electronic version?

Yes. When you buy a subscription to Blood Online, you have access to the entire journal archive.
