Guide for Authors
Survey of Ophthalmology is a teaching and review journal. It does not publish original research or case reports, although a limited amount of original material can sometimes be integrated into a review article. Articles should not duplicate material already available in textbooks or other reviews. Before preparing a manuscript, the author should submit a detailed outline of the proposed article to the Editor-in-Chief to assure that the material is appropriate and that no similar article is in preparation. Outlines are sent to referees; please allow 4 to 6 weeks for a response.
Literature Search
When preparing a review article, it is the author's responsibility to conduct a comprehensive and systematic review of the literature. Methods of literature search and criteria for including/excluding articles must be stated in the manuscript. This paragraph should state the databases and searchwords used, years covered, and additional sources (e.g., articles cited in the reference lists of other articles). It should also indicate how the foreign literature was treated. It is important to indicate how the articles that are referenced were selected.
Searches should not be limited to MEDLINE; other databases such as Exerpta Medica/EMBASE (1947-present), Ophthalmic Literature (1947-1988), and Zentralblatt fur die gesamte Ophthalmologie und ihre Grenzgebiete may include key articles that are not cited in MEDLINE.
Exclusivity Requirements
Manuscripts are considered with the understanding that they are being submitted only to this journal. If any portion of the text, figures or tables has been published or is being considered for publication elsewhere, the author must submit copies of the other manuscripts to the Editor-in-Chief, who will determine if the current manuscript is eligible for consideration.
Permission Requirements
The author must submit written permission of the author and publisher to publish:
a) Previously published figures and tables, even if they have been redrawn. Material "adapted from" other articles must be accompanied by the original material, so that the Editor-in-Chief can determine whether permission to reprint is required.
b) Previously published text of more than 100 words.
c) Personal communications and acknowledgments: Written permission of the communicator or acknowledgee is required.
d) Recognizable patient photographs: Written permission of the patient or his/her parent or guardian is required.
Conflict of Interest Policy
Authors are required to disclose commercial or similar relationships to products or companies mentioned in or related to the subject matter of the article being submitted. Sources of funding for the article should be acknowledged in a footnote on the title page. Affiliations of authors should include corporate appointments relating to or in connection with products or companies mentioned in the article, or otherwise bearing on the subject matter thereof. Other pertinent financial relationships, such as consultancies, stock ownership or other equity interests or patent-licensing arrangements, should be disclosed to the Editor-in-Chief in the cover letter at the time of submission. Such relationships may be disclosed in the Journal at the discretion of the Editor-in-Chief in footnotes appearing on the title page. Questions about this policy should be directed to the Editor-in-Chief.
Manuscript Submission
Every effort will be made to correct errors of grammar and syntax. However, the primary responsibility for the text is the author's. Authors whose native language is not English may need to enlist the assistance of English language medical editors before submitting their manuscripts.
