Platelets is an 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.Platelets provides the opportunity for contributors and readers from all scientific several disciplines to engage with progress on platelet function, biochemistry, signal transduction, pharmacology and therapeutics, interaction with other cells in the blood vessel wall, and the contribution of platelets and platelet-derived products to health and disease.From September 2009, in addition to the usual reviews and research articles, there is a new Methods section. This will become a unique feature of Platelets. With the growing complexity and enormous range of different methodologies involved in research on platelets, coupled with increasing utility of new technologies, we envisage that this section will be of huge benefit to platelet researchers worldwide. This should not only improve standardization between laboratories but provide up-to-date and detailed descriptions of both old and new methods that are often difficult to replicate and may thus help to resolve controversies in the field.*© Thomson ISI Journal Citation Reports® 2012.

Poem is a world-class poetry magazine for the best poetry in, and translated into, English. Set to become the leading English-language poetry periodical, Poem advocates international writing without barriers, bringing today’s best poetry together on a world stage.

- the very newest work by the best poets, young as well as celebrated;
- “primary” prose by poets and world-leading critics – anything from literary gad-flying to novel extracts – encouraging the essay form, memoir, interview;
- occasional reviews;
- the occasional frontispiece/picture-essay of black-and-white photos or prints.

Police Practice & Research - Best Paper Award Police Practice and Research is a peer-reviewed journal that presents current and innovative police research as well as operational and administrative practices from around the world. Articles and reports are sought from practitioners, researchers and others interested in developments in policing, analysis of public order, and the state of safety as it affects the quality of life everywhere. Police Practice and Research seeks to bridge the gap in knowledge that exists regarding who the police are, what they do, and how they maintain order, administer laws, and serve their communities. Attention will also be focused on specific organizational information about the police in different countries or regions. There will be periodic special issues devoted to a particular country or continent. A specific goal of the editors is to improve cooperation between those who are active in the field and those who are involved in academic research, as such a relationship is essential for innovative police work. To this end, the editors encourage the submission of articles co-authored by police practitioners and researchers that will highlight a particular subject from both points of view.Peer Review Policy:All research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by two anonymous referees.

Policy here is conceived as relevant to all areas of higher education activity, including transnational education, university governance and leadership, quality assurance and enhancement, academic work, curriculum development and student learning, occurring at the local, regional, national and international level. Comparative analyses across higher education systems are particularly encouraged.

 Contributions are invited which are:

* original and provide in-depth analysis

* historically grounded and forward-looking

* reflections on implications for policy broadly

The world of public policy has become an increasingly small one as a consequence of dramatic changes to global political and economic institutional structures and to nation states themselves. These changes at the structural level of the global system have impacted upon the work of public organizations either directly or indirectly and have broadened the field of action in policy studies. Policy Studies explores the implications of these changes for both the study and the practice of policy-making. It has five main areas of intellectual interest:To broaden the lens of policy analysis through the publication of research which locates policy-making within a theoretical, historical or comparative perspective.To widen the field of enquiry in policy analysis through the publication of research that examines policy issues in a British, comparative, international or global context.To promote constructive debate on theoretical, methodological and empirical issues in policy analysis.To encourage greater interaction between the world of academia and the world of practice through the encouragement of articles from practitioners and academics with real practical significance.To stay apace with developments in the international field of action through the publication of country reports on administrative developments. We therefore encourage the submission of articles in these areas in order to provide a forum for the theoretical and practical discussion of public policy-making.Policy Studies, is a multi-disciplinary journal which attempts to strike an important balance in the production of descriptive, explanatory and evaluative policy oriented research.Peer Review Policy:All the articles in this journal have undergone editorial screening and peer review.
