It is focused on basic and applied research and cutting-edge clinical laboratory medicine. CCLM is one of the leading international journals in the field of clinical laboratory sciences and drives progress in the field. CCLM is led by a multi-institutional editorial board.\nCCLM is a hybrid journal published monthly in print and online. All contributions submitted for publication in JPEM are subject to single-anonymized peer review by at least two experts in the field, selected and invited by the Editor-in-Chief and a dedicated Editorial Team. CCLM publishes only English-language articles.\nLetters to the Editor and Congress Abstracts are published online only.\nCCLM is the official journal of the European Federation of Cli nical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (EFLM).\nTopics\nClinical Biochemistry // Clinical Genomics and Molecular Biology // Clinical Hematology and Hemostasis // Clinical Immunology and Autoimmunity // Clinical Microbiology // Drug Monitoring and Analysis // Evaluation of Diagnostic Biomarkers // Disease-Oriented Topics (Cardiovascular Disease, Cancer Diagnostics, Diabetes) // Clinical Evaluation of New Reagents, Instrumentation and Technologies // Innovative and/or Disruptive Analytical Techniques // Reference Materials and Methods // Reference Values and Decision Limits // Candidate Reference Measurement Procedures and Materials // Quality and Safety in Laboratory Medicine // Laboratory-Related Errors and Patient Safety // Standardization/Harmonization of Laboratory Assays // Translational Laboratory Medicine // Clinical Metrology\nArticle formats\nResearch Articles, Reviews, Mini Reviews, Opinion Papers Point/Counterpoint Articles, Perspectives, Gu idelines and Recommendations, Letters to the Editor, Editorials\nUseful links\nInstructions for Authors\nSubmission Checklist\nTemplate for Ethical and Legal Declarations\nManuscript Preparation and Manuscript Templates\nEuropean Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (EFLM)\nEFLM Congress Calendar\nResources for Authors\nLicense to Publish\nAuthor Language Service\nData Sharing Policy\nRights and Permissions\nOpen Access\n2025 Reviewer Acknowledgments\nFor EFLM Academy Members\nTo take advantage of all the opportunities offered to members of the EFLM Academy, please access y our personal area in the EFLM Academy at the link https://academy.eflm.eu/secretariat/login (if you do not remember your login details, you can use the option FORGOT PASSWORD).
