Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion covers all aspects of the physics of hot, highly ionised plasmas. This includes results of current experimental and theoretical research on all aspects of the physics of high-temperature plasmas and of controlled nuclear fusion, including the basic phenomena in highly-ionised gases in the laboratory, in the ionosphere and in space, in magnetic-confinement and inertial-confinement fusion as well as related diagnostic methods.Papers with a technological emphasis, for example in such topics as plasma control, fusion technology and diagnostics, are welcomed when the plasma physics is an integral part of the paper or when the technology is unique to plasma applications or new to the field of plasma physics.The editorial policy is to maintain the quality of published papers at the highest level by strict peer review. Prompt publication of authors'' papers is also of prime concern and the journal is accessible in electronic form.

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.
