Indian Journal of Ophthalmology
Information for Authors
The Editorial Process
A manuscript will be reviewed for possible publication with the understanding that it is being submitted to Indian Journal of Ophthalmology alone at that point in time and has not been published anywhere, simultaneously submitted, or already accepted for publication elsewhere.
The journal expects that authors would authorize one of them to correspond with the Journal for all matters related to the manuscript.
All manuscripts received are duly acknowledged and given a Manuscript Number.
On submission, editors review all the submitted manuscripts initially for suitability for a formal review. Manuscripts with insufficient originality, serious scientific or technical flaws, or lack of a significant message may be rejected before proceeding for a formal peer-review. Manuscripts that are unlikely to be of interest to the Indian Journal of Ophthalmology readers are also liable to be rejected at this stage itself.
Manuscripts that are found suitable for publication in Indian Journal of Ophthalmology are sent to two or more expert reviewers for Peer Review.
During submission, the contributor is requested to provide names of two or three qualified reviewers who have experience in the subject of the submitted manuscript, but this is not mandatory. The reviewers should not be affiliated with the same institutes as the contributor/s. However, the selection of these reviewers is at the sole discretion of the editor.
The Journal follows a double-blind review process, wherein the reviewers and authors are unaware of each other’s identity.
Every manuscript is also assigned to a member of the editorial team, who based on the comments from the reviewers takes a final decision on the manuscript.
The comments and suggestions (acceptance/ rejection/ amendments in manuscript) received from reviewers are conveyed to the corresponding author. If required, the author is requested to provide a point by point response to reviewers’ comments and submit a revised version of the manuscript. This process is repeated till reviewers and editors are satisfied with the manuscript.
Manuscripts accepted for publication are copy edited for grammar, punctuation, print style, and format.
Page proofs are sent to the corresponding author. The corresponding author is expected to return the corrected proofs within three days. It may not be possible to incorporate corrections received after that period.
The whole process of submission of the manuscript to final decision and sending and receiving proofs is completed online.
All the manuscripts are subject to final editing by the Editor and the Editorial Board. Deletion of cerain unacceptable terms from the mauscript or grammatical correction or final reformatting to comply to the publication standards performed at the stage of the final Editor's draft will not be forwarded for author approval.
To achieve faster and greater dissemination of knowledge and information, the journal publishes articles online as ‘Ahead of Print’ immediately on acceptance.
Clinical Trial Registry
Indian Journal of Ophthalmology favors registration of clinical trials and is a signatory to the Statement on Publishing Clinical Trials in Indian Biomedical Journals.
Indian Journal of Ophthalmology would publish clinical trials that have been registered with a clinical trial registry that allows free online access to public.
Registration in the following trial registers is acceptable: http://www.ctri.in/; http://www.actr.org.au/; http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/; http://isrctn.org/; http://www.trialregister.nl/trialreg/index.asp; and http://www.umin.ac.jp/ctr.
This is applicable to clinical trials that have begun enrollment of subjects in or after June 2008.
Clinical trials that have commenced enrollment of subjects prior to June 2008 would be considered for publication in Indian Journal of Ophthalmology only if they have been registered retrospectively with clinical trial registry that allows unhindered online access to public without charging any fees.
Authorship Criteria
Authorship credit should be based only on substantial contributions to each of the three components mentioned below:
Concept and design of study or acquisition of data or analysis and interpretation of data;
Drafting the article or revising it critically for important intellectual content; and
Final approval of the version to be published.
Participation solely in the acquisition of funding or the collection of data does not justify authorship. General supervision of the research group is not sufficient for authorship. Each contributor should have participated sufficiently in the work to take public responsibility for appropriate portions of the content of the manuscript. The order of naming the contributors should be based on the relative contribution of the contributor towards the study and writing the manuscript. Once submitted the order cannot be changed without written consent of all the contributors. The journal prescribes a maximum number of authors for manuscripts depending upon the type of manuscript, its scope and number of institutions involved (vide infra). The authors should provide a justification, if the number of authors exceeds these limits.
Contribution Details
Contributors should provide a description of contributions made by each of them towards the manuscript. Description should be divided in following categories, as applicable: concept, design, definition of intellectual content, literature search, clinical studies, experimental studies, data acquisition, data analysis, statistical analysis, manuscript preparation, manuscript editing and manuscript review. Authors' contributions will be printed along with the article. One or more author should take responsibility for the integrity of the work as a whole from inception to published article and should be designated as 'guarantor'.
Conflicts of Interest/ Competing Interests
All authors of articles must disclose any and all conflicts of interest they may have with publication of the manuscript or an institution or product that is mentioned in the manuscript and/or is important to the outcome of the study presented. Authors should also disclose conflict of interest with products that compete with those mentioned in their manuscript. It is mandatory to upload the conflict of interest form for each author separately along with the main manuscript submission. Please see bottom of this page for a link to download the conflict of interest form. Please note that the conflict of interest form is separate from the copyright transfer form
Submission of Manuscripts
MANUSCRIPTS MUST ADHERE TO SUBMISSION GUIDELINES FOR THE SPECIFIC CATEGORY
All manuscripts must be submitted on-line through the websitehttps://review.jow.medknow.com/ijo. First time users will have to register at this site. Registration is free but mandatory.

COLOR IMAGE PROCESSING CHARGES
As per the Constitution and byelaws of the All India Ophthalmological Society, color image processing charges are to be levied on acepted manuscrtipts. This is only to partially meet the costs of colour image processing and reproduction. Your understanding will be deeply appreciated.
Color image processing charges apply to images reproduced in color (Rs 4000 or 75 USD for 1 figure, Rs 6000 or 100 USD for 2 figures, Rs 8000 or 150 USD for 3 figures and so on. Charges would also depend on the reproduction size of the images and composites and the final decision is left to the Editorial Team. The Editor will let the Author know about the exact image processing charge at the time of provisional acceptance of the manuscript. Payment can be made online or offline before the manuscript progresses to the next phase.
Color image processing charges apply even if the manuscript is published only online.
Authors to note that images submitted in colour for review are bound to be printed as such. Change from colour images to black and white is not permitted after peer review and final acceptance.
[4] The Contributors' / Copyright Transfer Form (template provided below) has to be submitted in original with the signatures of all the contributors within two weeks of submission via courier, fax or email as a scanned image. Print ready hard copies of the images (one set) or digital images should be sent to the journal office at the time of submitting revised manuscript. High resolution images (up to 5 MB each) can be sent by email.
Contributors’ form / copyright transfer form can be submitted online from the authors’ area on https://review.jow.medknow.com/ijo.
Preparation of Manuscripts
Manuscripts must be prepared in accordance with "Uniform requirements for Manuscripts submitted to Biomedical Journals" developed by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (October 2008). The uniform requirements and specific requirement of Indian Journal of Ophthalmology are summarized below. Before submitting a manuscript, contributors are requested to check for the latest instructions available. Instructions are also available from the website of the journal (http://www.ijo.in) and from the manuscript submission site https://review.jow.medknow.com/ijo).
Indian Journal of Ophthalmology accepts manuscripts written in American English.
Copies of any Permission(s)
It is the responsibility of authors/ contributors to obtain permissions for reproducing any copyrighted material. A copy of the permission obtained must accompany the manuscript. Copies of any and all published articles or other manuscripts in preparation or submitted elsewhere that are related to the manuscript must also accompany the manuscript.
Types of Manuscripts
The Indian Journal of Ophthalmology endorses the use of appropriate reporting guidelines when writing any health research manuscript.
We encourage you to submit completed checklists for the relevant guidelines (and flow diagram if applicable) alongside your manuscript.
Editable checklists for reporting guidelines can be found on the EQUATOR Network site (www.equator-network.org), which also gives general information on how to choose the correct guideline and why guidelines are important. Using a checklist helps to ensure you have used a guideline correctly. At minimum, your article should report the content addressed by each item of the identified checklist or state that the item was not considered in the study and, if relevant, the reason why not (for example, if you did not use blinding, your article should explain this). Please indicate the page number where the particular item is mentioned in your manuscript.
Meeting these basic reporting requirements will greatly improve the value of your manuscript, may facilitate/enhance the peer review process, and may enhance its chances for eventual publication. The checklists explain details of the sections to be included in a particular type of manuscript as well as act as guides for the content in each section of the manuscript such as introduction, methods, results and discussion.
If parts of the checklist are not applicable for your particular manuscript, use "NA" in the box provided against the particular item of the checklist. Checklists should be uploaded as additional supporting material at the time of submission. If checklists are not uploaded, authors should mention a reason in the covering letter to the editor.
Retrospective studies are not acceptable with study title as an acronym. Even for a prospective studey, prior precedence is required for the study title to be an acronym. If it is the first report of a prospective study, then explicit permission of the Editor has to be obrtained before the study title can be witten as an Acronym.
Uploading checklists will be mandatory along with each submission to the Indian journal of Ophthalmology from July 1st 2017.
Some common study types and the appropriate guidelines are listed below. You may need to use more than one guideline, depending on your research. If you cannot find an appropriate guideline here, search the full EQUATOR database.
