Abstract

JMSACL has partnered with Stanford University Press and moved to a non-profit, open access model to better support trustworthy, widely available research in laboratory medicine. Publishing and reading will remain free in 2026, with institutions helping fund open access from 2027. MSACL will retain ownership of the journal, meaning all existing relationships (e.g., PubMed Central indexing) and scoring histories (e.g., Impact Factor) will remain intact. The use of AI in collaboration with human oversight to expedite review speed, while maintaining the quality of published content, will be evaluated for incorporation into the publishing workflow.
