The Official Journal of the DGKL

The Journal of Laboratory Medicine (JLM) is the official journal of the German Society for Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (DGKL) and is affiliated with the Austrian Society for Laboratory Medicine and Clinical Chemistry (ÖGLMKC). The journal publishes articles on the latest developments in laboratory medicine. Its focus is on diagnostic, clinical, methodological, and pathogenic aspects of the modern clinical laboratory, as well as technical and regulatory topics and education. JLM is published every two months. All articles submitted for publication in JLM undergo a double-blind peer review by at least two experts in the field, selected and invited by the Editor-in-Chief and a dedicated editorial team. JLM publishes only English-language articles.

JLM is an open-access journal. To enable the publication of all fully peer-reviewed manuscripts, an article processing charge (APC) is levied for each article accepted for publication in JLM, which is paid by the authors’ institutions, funders and sponsors, or institutions that have an agreement with the publisher De Gruyter Brill. Invited authors and members of DGKL and ÖGLMKC can either publish for free or receive a significant discount. Detailed information on APCs is published on the journal’s homepage.

Manuscript submission and peer review are conducted through ScholarOne: https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jlm.
