Journal of Ophthalmic and Vision Research

Aims & Scope

Journal of Ophthalmic and Vision Research (JOVR) is a peer-reviewed, open-access, continuous publishing journal with the mission to disseminate research, information and viewpoints on different aspects of ophthalmology and vision science, including basic and clinical research aiming to advance the science, technology, ethics and art of ophthalmology. The journal covers basic, translational and clinical studies related to different subspecialty fields, including the cornea and ocular surface, lens and cataract, glaucoma, vitreoretinal disorders, uveitis, ocular oncology & pathology, neuro-ophthalmology, pediatric ophthalmology & strabismus, and ophthalmic plastic & reconstructive surgery. Other areas of interest include ocular imaging & surgical techniques and ophthalmic epidemiology, in addition to controversial and challenging topics. The scope of the journal is intended to include not only clinical ophthalmology but also related basic science disciplines that contribute to the science of vision.

A twelfth criterion — whether APC fees are clearly disclosed — is not scored here; it is left out of the total rather than counted as a failure. Publication charges appear in the metrics card above.
