The American Journal of Ophthalmology is a renowned scientific publication that undergoes rigorous peer review. It invites the submission of original and unpublished manuscripts focused on ophthalmology and visual science. These manuscripts can encompass clinical investigations, clinical observations, and laboratory investigations that are clinically relevant. The journal has been published monthly since 1884 and offers full-text access to its articles and supplementary material on its website, www.AJO.com.
The American Journal of Ophthalmology features a range of article types, including Full-Length Articles, Perspectives, Editorials, Correspondences, Book Reports, and Announcements. However, it no longer accepts Brief Reports and Case Reports. For submissions of such nature, authors are encouraged to consider the companion publication, the American Journal of Ophthalmology Case Reports.
To ensure the integrity and originality of the content, manuscripts submitted to the journal should not have been published previously in any significant format. Moreover, authors are expected to adhere to ethical standards in content and data collection. In some cases, authors may be requested to provide the underlying data for their manuscript and promptly address any inquiries about the manuscript or its authors. It is important to review the AJO policies on redundant publication to avoid any issues in this regard.
