血小板是一个国际性的，完全同行评审的期刊，涵盖血小板和巨核细胞相关研究的所有方面。该杂志发表了有关血小板和血小板相关领域的原始文章、评论文章和通信，以期为有关这一重要血液成分各个方面的新信息提供一个重点。血小板为所有科学学科的贡献者和读者提供了机会，使他们能够在血小板功能、生物化学、信号转导、药理学和治疗、与血管壁其他细胞的相互作用等方面取得进展，以及血小板和血小板衍生产品对健康和疾病的贡献。除了通常的评论和研究文章，还有一个方法部分。这是血小板的一个独特特征。随着血小板研究越来越复杂，涉及的各种方法越来越广泛，加上新技术的应用越来越广泛，我们设想这一部分将对全世界的血小板研究人员带来巨大的益处。这不仅应提高实验室之间的标准化水平，还应提供最新和详细的新方法说明，这些方法通常难以复制，因此有助于解决该领域的争议。

Platelets is an international, fully peer-reviewed journal covering all aspects of platelet-and megakaryocyte-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. In addition to the usual reviews and research articles, there is a Methods section. This is 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.
