Auszug

Ten years ago, in spring 2007 a noble lady wearing a queenly looking hat invited me (WH) to start a new printed journal on hematology and oncology with a focus on the German-speaking community. The well-known publisher Springer Company intended to expand in that field of medicine. Certainly, it was a distinguished honor being selected for such a project. But, analyzing the opportunities and potential draw-backs of such a project, I came to the conclusion: “hands off!”. Considering the small number of Austrian hematologists and medical oncologists, the potential of authors or reviewers would have been fully exhausted within the first three issues.
