About the journal
Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology is the official journal of The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Ophthalmologists. The journal publishes peer-reviewed original research and reviews dealing with all aspects of clinical practice and research in ophthalmology and vision science. Short articles are welcomed for publication under the headings ‘Clinicopathological Report ‘Surgical Technique‘History of Ophthalmology‘Photographic Essayand ‘Letters to the Editor Manuscripts dealing with ‘Ophthalmic Hypothesis and ‘Developing World Ophthalmologyare encouraged. Reports of interesting and original cases may be published as 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 and the Editor. 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.
Rapid Research Reports of contemporary Australian visual science are published each year as the proceedings of The Australian Ophthalmic and Visual Science Conference.
Instructions to Authors
Author Guidelines
All articles submitted to the journal must comply with these instructions. Failure to do so will result in return of the manuscript and possible delay in publication. Manuscripts should be written so that they are intelligible to the professional reader who is not a specialist in the particular field. Where contributions are judged as acceptable for publication on the basis of scientific content, the Editor or the Publisher reserve the right to modify typescripts to eliminate ambiguity and repetition and improve communication between author and reader. If alterations are required, the manuscript will be returned to the author for revision.
Covering letter
Manuscripts are accepted for publication in the journal on the understanding that the content has not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere. This must be stated in the covering letter.
Authors must also state that the protocol for the research project has been approved by a suitably constituted Ethics Committee of the institution within which the work was undertaken and that it conforms to the provisions of the Declaration of Helsinki in 1995 (as revised in Edinburgh 2000). All investigations on human subjects must include a statement that the subject gave informed consent and patient anonymity should be preserved. Any experiments involving animals must be demonstrated to be ethically acceptable and where relevant conform to National Guidelines for animal usage in research.
Authors should declare any financial support or relationships that may pose conflict of interest. If there is none this should be stated.

Copyright
Papers accepted for publication become copyright of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Ophthalmologists and authors will be asked to sign a transfer of copyright form. In signing the transfer of copyright it is assumed that authors have obtained permission to use any copyrighted or previously published material. All authors must read and agree to the conditions outlined in the Copyright Assignment Form, and must sign the Form or agree that the corresponding author can sign on their behalf. Articles cannot be published until a signed Copyright Assignment Form has been received.
Preparation of Manuscripts
Submissions should be printed, doubled-spaced, on one side only of A4 paper. The top, bottom and side margins should be 30 mm. Laser or near-letter quality print is essential. All pages should be numbered consecutively in the top righthand corner, beginning with the title page. Indent new paragraphs. Turn the hyphenation option off, including only those hyphens that are essential to the meaning.
Style
Manuscripts should follow the style of the Vancouver agreement detailed in the ‘Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journalsas presented in JAMA 1997; 277: 927?4 (http://www.acponline.org/journals/annals/01jan97/unifreqr.htm). The journal uses UK spelling and authors should therefore follow the latest edition of the Concise Oxford Dictionary.
All measurements must be given in SI units as outlined in the latest edition of Units, Symbols and Abbreviations: A Guide for Medical and Scientific Editors and Authors (Royal Society of Medicine Press, London).
Abbreviations should be used sparingly and only where they ease the reader’s task by reducing repetition of long, technical terms. Initially use the word in full, followed by the abbreviation in parentheses. Thereafter use the abbreviation. Drugs should be referred to by their generic names, rather than brand names.
Parts of the manuscript
Manuscripts should be presented in the following order: (i) title page, (ii) abstract and keywords, (iii) text, (iv) acknowledgements, (v) references, (vi) figure legends, (vii) tables (each table complete with title and footnotes) and (viii) figures.
Footnotes to the text are not allowed and any such material should be incorporated into the text in parentheses.
Title page
The title page should contain (i) the title of the paper, (ii) the full names of the authors and (iii) the addresses of the institutions at which the work was carried out together with (iv) the full postal and email addresses, plus facsimile and telephone numbers, of the author to whom correspondence about the manuscript, proofs and requests for offprints should be sent. Only the highest medical qualification (e.g. FRANZCO) and the highest academic qualification, if held, should be supplied.
The title should be short, informative and contain the major key words. A short running title (less than 40 characters, including spaces) should also be provided.
Abstract and key words
Original Articles must have a structured abstract that states in 250 words or less the purpose, basic procedures, main findings and principal conclusions of the study. The abstract should not contain abbreviations or references. Original Articles should use the following headings in their abstracts:
Background: should concisely state the main objective of the study.
Methods: should describe the design of the study (randomization, blinding, prospective or retrospective etc.), the setting (hospital or private practice, primary or tertiary care etc.) and the patients or participants in the study.
Results: should be summarized with relevant statistical indices.
Conclusions: that are directly supported by the data should be stated, with equal emphasis on positive and negative findings. Five key words should be supplied below the abstract and should be taken from those recommended by the Index Medicus Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) browser list (http://www.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/meshhome.html).
Text
Authors should use subheadings to divide the sections of their manuscript: Introduction, Method, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgements, References.
Acknowledgements
The source of financial grants and other funding should be acknowledged. The contribution of colleagues or institutions may also be acknowledged.
References
In the text, references should be cited using superscript Arabic numerals in the order in which they appear. If cited only in tables or figure legends, number them according to the first identification of the table or figure in the text.
In the reference list, the references should be numbered and listed in order of appearance in the text. Cite the names of all authors when there are six or less; when seven or more list only the first three followed by et al. Names of journals should be abbreviated in the style used in Index Medicus.
Reference to unpublished data and personal communications should appear in the text only.
References should be listed in the following form:

Tables
Tables should be self-contained and complement, but not duplicate, information contained in the text. Tables should be numbered consecutively in Arabic numerals. Each table should be presented on a separate sheet of A4 paper with a comprehensive but concise legend above the table. Tables should be double-spaced and vertical lines should not be used to separate columns. Column headings should be brief, with units of measurement in parentheses; all abbreviations should be defined in footnotes. Footnote symbols: should be used (in that order) and should be reserved for P-values. The table and its legend/footnotes should be understandable without reference to the text.
Figures
All illustrations (line drawings and photographs) are classified as figures. Figures should be cited in consecutive order in the text. Each figure should be labelled on the back in very soft marker or chinagraph pencil, indicating name of author(s), figure number and orientation. (Do not use an adhesive label.) Figures should be sized to fit within the column (84 mm), intermediate (129 mm) or the full text width (175 mm).
Line figures should be supplied as sharp, black and white graphs or diagrams, drawn professionally or with a computer graphics package; lettering should be included. Photographs should be supplied as sharp, glossy, black and white photographic prints and must be unmounted. Individual photographs forming a composite figure should be of equal contrast, to facilitate printing, and should be accurately squared.
Photographs need to be cropped sufficiently to prevent the subject being recognized, otherwise written permission to publish must be obtained. Magnifications should be indicated using a scale bar on the illustration.
If supplied electronically, graphics should be supplied as high-resolution (at least 300 d.p.i.) files, saved as .eps or .tif format. A high-resolution print-out must also be provided. Digital images supplied only as low-resolution print-outs cannot be used.
Colour figures
Colour photographs should be submitted as good quality, glossy colour prints. A charge of AUD$300 for the first colour figure and AUD$200 for each extra colour figure thereafter will be charged to the author.
Figure legends
Legends should be self-explanatory and typed on a separate sheet. The legend should incorporate definitions of any symbols used and all abbreviations and units of measurement should be explained so that the figure and its legend is understandable without reference to the text. (Provide a letter stating copyright authorisation if figures have been reproduced from another source.)
Manuscripts On Disk
Authors are required to provide their manuscripts on disk or CD Rom.
Use a new disk rather than a reformatted disk; the disk must contain the relevant file(s) only. Authors should supply their accepted paper as formatted text. It is essential that the hardware and the word processing package are specified on the disk (e.g. IBM, Word 7), as well as the first author’s surname, the journal title and the manuscript number.
The entire article (including tables) should be supplied as a single file; only electronic figures should be supplied as separate files. The following instructions should be adhered to.
It is essential that the final, revised version of the accepted manuscript and the file saved on disk are identical.
Do not use the carriage return (enter) at the end of lines within a paragraph or reference.
Turn the hyphenation option off.
Specify any special characters used to represent non keyboard characters.
Take care not to use l (ell) for 1 (one), O (capital o) for 0 (zero) or ?(German esszett) for Greek beta.
Use a tab, not spaces, to separate data points in tables.
If you use a table editor function, ensure that each data point is contained within a unique cell, i.e. do not use carriage returns within cells.
Digital figures must be supplied as .tif or .eps files at a resolution of at least 300 d.p.i. (high-resolution print-outs are also required).
On-line guidelines
If possible, authors should visit the Blackwell Publishing website for authors at www.blackwellPublishing.com/authors/journals.asp which details further information on the preparation and submission of articles and figures and gives access to the Blackwell house style guide.
