About the journal
Platelets
Platelets is a bimonthly, international, fully peer-reviewed journal covering all aspects of platelet-related research.The Journal publishes original articles, review articles and correspondence on blood platelets and platelet-related areas with a view to providing a focus for new information on all aspects of this important blood component. Until now there has been no outlet specifically for work on platelets, and it has been necessary to monitor journals relating to several disciplines to keep up with progress on platelet behaviour, biochemistry, pharmacology, interaction with other cells in the blood vessel wall, and the contribution of platelets and platelet-derived products to health and disease. Platelets enables those who wish to keep up with research progress in both basic and clinical aspects of platelets to do so more easily.

Principal Editors
Manuscripts
Manuscripts should be submitted in triplicate, including three copies of all illustrations. Manuscripts submitted by members of the Editorial board should be submitted to the Editor-in-Chief who will make necessary arrangements for their independent assessment.
It is understood that papers submitted for publication have not been published previously and are not simultaneously offered to any other journal. Before submission, the submitting author must ensure that the manuscript has been seen and approved by all other named authors. The Editors do not accept any responsibility for damage to or loss of manuscripts.
Manuscripts that contain the results of human and/or animal studies should comply with the principles of the declaration of Helsinki (1964). The approval of an ethical committee must be stated on the manuscript. The Editors reserve the right to reject a paper with questionable ethical justification. Any opinions expressed or policies advocated do not necessarily reflect the opinions or policies of the Editors.
Authors should send the final, revised version of their articles in both hard copy paper and electronic disk forms. It is essential that the hard copy (paper) version exactly matches the material on disk. Please print out the hard copy from the disc you are sending. Submit three printed copies of the final version with the disk to the journal's editorial office. Illustrations supplied as clear, good quality hard copy reproduce to the best effect.
Save all files on a standard 3.5 inch high-density disk. We prefer to receive disks in Microsoft Word in a PC format, but can translate from most other common word-processing programs as well as Macs. Please specify which program you have used. Do not save your files as "text only" or "read only".
Style and Presentation
These instructions are in accordance with the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors. Uniform requirements for manuscripts submitted to biomedical journals. 5th ed. N Engl J Med 1997; 336: 309-15.
Manuscripts should be submitted in journal style; failure to do so may result in delays in publication. The manuscript should be typed in English or American on one side of the page with double spacing throughout, with margins of at least 3cm. The first page should show the paper title, names and addresses of all authors, a short running title, and fax, telephone and, where available, Email numbers for the corresponding author. The second page should present a summary of less than 200 words and should be followed by the text of the paper, arranged in the following sequence: Introduction, Materials and methods, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgements and References. Informative legends should be provided for all illustrations and should be grouped together at the end of the paper along with all tables.
Subheadings may be inserted in the main text, but should not be numbered or lettered. Simple formulae and equations should be presented in a form that allows their reproduction in single horizontal lines of type; complicated chemical structures which are difficult to set in type should be provided as glossy or good-quality laser prints.
Short communications (reporting new results which fall within the scope of the journal) should not exceed 1000 words and should include a maximum of 5 references and one figure or table. Correspondence (debate on topical areas of general interest) are encouraged and should be sent directly to the Editor-in-Chief.
Manuscripts should be written in clear, grammatical, idiomatic English. Spelling should conform to Webster¡¯s International Dictionary or The Concise Oxford English Dictionary and data should be presented simply and concisely, using Syst¨¨me International (SI) units. Abbreviations should be kept to a minimum and must be defined at their first occurrence. Proprietary names of drugs, instruments etc. should be indicated by initial capital letters.
Tables and Illustrations
All tables and illustrations should be referred to in the text, with appropriate locations indicated in the text margin. Tables should present new information and not duplicate data included in the text. Every table should have a descriptive title and, if numerical measurements are given, the units should be included in the column heading.
Line drawings should be supplied in a form suitable for high-quality reproduction at two-thirds of their drawn size. Axes should be clearly labelled; other lettering should be kept to a minimum. Photographs should be unmounted, high-contrast glossy prints, with as much contrast as the subject allows. Photomicrographs should be submitted at the correct size for final reproduction. They should be cropped as close as possible to the area of interest and should be 80 or 165 mm wide, not exceeding 225 mm in depth. Where two or more photographs are mounted together they should be arranged 2-3 mm apart. Magnification should be shown by scale bars and any lettering in capitals. Lettering should be of suitable size and take into account any necessary size reduction.
All illustrations should be clearly marked on the reverse (by a label pasted on the back or by a soft crayon) with figure number, orientation and author¡¯s name. Never use ink of any kind. Do not use paper clips as these can scratch or mark illustrations. Colour illustrations are acceptable, but authors must cover the extra reproduction costs.
Where illustrations must include recognisable individuals, living or dead, care must be taken to ensure that consent for publication is obtained. In cases where consent is not obtained, illustrations should be retouched to mask the eyes or render the individual ¡®officially unrecognisable?
Written permission to reproduce material must be obtained from the original publishers and authors, and submitted with the manuscript. Such material should be acknowledged in the captions according to the following style: Reproduced with kind permission of ?(publishers) from ?(reference).
References
References should be cited in the text using the Vancouver system. The list should be typed with double-spacing and arranged in chronological order. References should include names and initials of up to and including six authors, then et al.; year of publication; full title of the article; source using abbreviations for journals according to Index Medicus; volume number; and contracted page span.
Examples:
43. Ishibashi T, Burnstein SA. Interleukin-3 promotes the differentiation of isolated megakaryocytes. Am J Med Sci 1986; 67: 1512-4.
44. Linch DC, Zimmerman TS. Biosynthesis of von Willebrand factor by cultured endothelium. In: Smith A, ed. Haemostasis and Thrombosis. Edinburgh: Churchill Livingstone, 1986: 169-86.
Only accepted papers should be referenced; all other material should be referred to in the text as ¡®in preparation? ¡®personal communication?or ¡®unpublished observations?and should not be included in the reference list.
Proofs
The corresponding author will be sent proofs for checking. The proofs, with any minor corrections, must be returned by fax or post within 48 hours of receipt. While reasonable steps will be taken to ensure that such proofreading is accurate, neither the Editors nor the Publisher shall be responsible for any errors.
Offprints
Fifty free offprints, together with a complete copy of the relevant journal issue, are supplied free. An offprint order form will be supplied with the page proof, to enable authors to purchase additional offprints.
