Journal Guide

Clinical & Experimental Ophthalmology is the official journal of The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Ophthalmologists. The journal primarily publishes peer-reviewed original research and reviews dealing with all aspects of clinical practice and research in ophthalmology and vision science. Short articles are also welcomed for publication under the headings 'Clinicopathological Report', 'Clinical and Surgical Techniques', 'History of Ophthalmology' and 'Letters to the Editor'. Manuscripts dealing with 'Ophthalmic Hypothesis', and 'Developing World Ophthalmology' are encouraged. Reports of interesting and original cases may be published as 'Photographic Essays' or 'Clinical Case Notes' in Letters to the Editor. The acceptance criteria for all papers are the quality, originality and significance of the research. Except where otherwise stated, manuscripts are peer reviewed by two anonymous reviewers, a Section Editor and the Editor in an average time of 2.5 months. The average time from original submission to publication, for manuscripts that are accepted, is 10 months. The Editorial Board reserves the right to refuse any material for publication and advises that authors should retain copies of submitted manuscripts, figures and correspondence, as material cannot be returned. Final acceptance or rejection rests with the Editorial Board.

Clinical and Experimental Optometry is a peer reviewed journal listed by ISI and abstracted by PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Science Citation Index and Current Contents. It publishes original research papers and reviews in clinical optometry and vision science. Debate and discussion of controversial scientific and clinical issues is encouraged and letters to the Editor and short communications expressing points of view on matters within the Journal's areas of interest are welcome. The Journal is published six times annually.

Sponsored by The Cornea Society, Cornea brings together basic and clinical studies on the cornea and the anterior segment of the eye that are critically important to corneal specialists and all general ophthalmologists. The latest corneal and anterior segment microsurgical procedures are reviewed in depth, and promising new surgical techniques are evaluated. Cornea also serves as a forum in which leading experts present relevant clinical studies and their conclusions, ultramicroscopic studies of corneal pathology, and clinicopathologic cases.Website: www.corneajrnl.com.

The principal aim ofCurrent Eye Research is to provide rapid publication of full papers, short communications and minireviews, all of high quality. Current Eye Research publishes articles encompassing all the areas of eye research. Subject areas include the following: clinical research, anatomy, physiology, biophysics, biochemistry, pharmacology, developmental biology, microbiology and immunology.

This reader-friendly, bimonthly resource provides a powerful, broad-based perspective on the most important advances from throughout the world literature. Featuring renowned guest editors and focusing exclusively on one or two topics, every issue of Current Opinion in Ophthalmology delivers unvarnished, expert assessments of developments from the previous year. All reviews are supplemented with an indispensable section, 'References and Recommended Reading'. At the back of each volume is 'Current World Literature', an exceptionally thorough bibliography culled from the top 100 journals in the field. Both sections are completely annotated and, as an added benefit, appropriate papers are flagged for their 'special' or 'outstanding interest'.Website: www.co-ophthalmology.com.

Documenta Ophthalmologica is an official publication of the International Society for Clinical Electrophysiology of Vision. The purpose of the journal is to promote the understanding and application of clinical electrophysiology of vision. Documenta Ophthalmologica will publish reviews, research articles, technical notes, brief reports and case studies which inform the readers about basic and clinical sciences related to visual electrodiagnosis and means to improve diagnosis and clinical management of patients using visual electrophysiology. Studies may involve animals or humans. In either case appropriate care must be taken to follow the Declaration of Helsinki for human subject or appropriate humane standards of animal care (e.g., the ARVO standards on Animal Care and Use).

The European Journal of Ophthalmology is a peer-reviewed scientific publication issued 6 times per year. It was founded in 1991 to publish manuscripts directed to ophthalmologists and visual science specialists describing clinical investigations, clinical observations, laboratory investigations with clinical relevance.

The primary goal of Experimental Eye Research is to publish original research papers on all aspects of experimental biology of the eye and ocular tissues that seek to define the mechanisms of normal function and/or disease. Studies of ocular tissues that encompass the disciplines of cell biology, developmental biology, genetics, molecular biology, physiology, biochemistry, biophysics, immunology or microbiology are most welcomed. Manuscripts that are purely clinical or in a surgical area of ophthalmology are not appropriate for submission to Experimental Eye Research and if received will be returned without review.Most manuscripts published are original articles describing new research findings. For review purposes the journal is divided into four sections: Aqueous Humor and Blood Flow; Cornea and Ocular Surface; Lens; and Retina and Choroid, each with their own section editors and a roster of Executive Editors that have expertise in these specialized areas.The Journal also publishes review articles, short communications, letters-to-the-editor, and methods papers. Full descriptions of each of these types of articles are detailed in the Guide for Authors.Research areas include:Production and circulation of ocular fluids and the dysfunction of these pathways underlying ocular diseaseAngiogenesis, neovascularization and regulation of blood flow in the eye in health and diseaseCell biology, molecular biology, biochemistry, and biophysics of the eye or eye tissueDevelopmental and regenerative biology of the eyeHuman and molecular genetics studies of inherited eye diseasesGene therapy and neuroprotection targeted at preventing inherited ocular diseasesNeural and general physiology of the visual process

Eye is the official journal of The Royal College of Ophthalmologists. It aims to provide the practising ophthalmologist with information on the latest clinical and laboratory based research. Whilst principally aimed at the practising clinician, the journal contains material of interest to a wider readership including optometrists, orthoptists, other health care professionals and research workers in all aspects of the field of visual science.

Dedicated to the medical and surgical management of refractive disorders, Eye and Contact Lens: Science and Clinical Practice is published for ophthalmologists, optometrists, and other eye care specialists. Each issue provides original peer-reviewed articles and online dialogue on leading developments and practical clinical applications. Coverage includes contact lenses, refractive surgery, cornea, ocular surface disease, glaucoma, and related anterior segment subjects. Eye and Contact Lens is the journal of the Contact Lens Association of Ophthalmologists (CLAO). Website: : www.claojournal.org.
