As we head toward 2026 and start another year of publishing “Seminars in Thrombosis and Hemostasis” (STH), it is once again my privilege to welcome the reader to the new year as the Editor in Chief. As noted widely in several past editorials, STH was first published in 1974,[1] and so 2024 marked the 50th birthday of STH, and 2025 marked the start of the second 50 years of publishing. Year 2026 will mark my 18th year anniversary as Editor in Chief, which now passes the halfway point of the term of the founding Editor in Chief, Eberhard F Mammen, who steered the journal for 34 years, from its inception in 1974 to his passing in 2008. I doubt I will make the 34-year point, but it is an enviable target.

A half century of STH publishing represented a landmark worthy of celebration, with this process started in 2022, when we published our first “toward” 50 years Celebratory issue.[2] A second Celebratory issue was published in 2023, again marking a “toward” 50 years Celebratory issue.[3] We published two issues in 2024 to mark the actual 50th anniversary of STH publishing.[4] [5] All issues were rich with thrombosis and hemostasis-themed content of a historical nature, and all issues were well received by our readers. Indeed, several papers on these issues were listed in our most recent popular download lists.[6] [7] [8]
