Instructions to Authors
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
On February 15, 2002 Current Eye Research launched Manuscript Central Ophthalmology, its online peer review system. All authors are now requested to submit their manuscript online. At the bottom of this page a link is provided to the online system.
Please read these instructions carefully before submission and follow them strictly to ensure that the review and publication of your paper is as efficient and quick as possible. The Editorial Office reserves the right to return manuscripts that are not in accordance with these instructions. If a considerable amount of language revision is required, the Publisher will have to charge authors the additional costs.
Language, Structure, and References
Language
- The journal will accept only papers submitted in English.
- Manuscripts should meet high academic standards. Contributors need to remember that they are writing for an international audience. National colloquialisms and idiomatic use of language should be avoided and gender neutral language used.
- Before submitting you paper check and improve where necessary consistency of spelling, punctuation and use of abbreviations.
- It is a requirement of the journal for authors not fluent in English to have their manuscript professionally edited for correct us of language before submission.
Structure
Article types
Minireviews are accepted for publication only if they have been invited by the Editors. Authors who would like to submit a minireview on a topic in which they have expertise are asked to communicate their interest to the Editors. Invited minireviews are subjected to the same peer review process as are original research papers. The journal accepts letters (not to exceed 750 words) concerning articles already published in Current Eye Research. Announcements of forthcoming meetings, courses, etc. may be published.
Title page
The title page should carry the title, the authors' names and affiliations and current addresses. In the case of a long title, an abbreviated version of no more than 40 characters (including spaces) should be supplied by the author for running heads.
Abstracts
The manuscript should be accompanied by an abstract not exceeding 150 words. Current Eye Research publishes abstracts using the structured format. The abstract should therefore be divided into sections with the following headings:
Keywords
Up to five key words, which may or may not appear in the title, should be given in alphabetical order, on the title page, each separated by a semicolon (;). In addition to being printed in the article these key words form the sole basis of the annual Subject Index. Thus please give them careful consideration.
Text
The text should be divided into the following sections:
Not more than three levels of heading should be used: capitals, bold l.c., italics l.c.
Acknowledgments
These should be included at the end of the text and before the references.
References
References should be numbered consecutively in the order in which they are first mentioned in the text. Identify references in text, tables, and legends by Arabic numerals in superscript. References cited only in tables or in legends to figures should be numbered in accordance with the sequence established by the first identification in the text of the particular table or figure. List all authors in the reference section; with 3 or more authors the reference should be mentioned as follows in the body text: Reed et al. The titles of journals should be abbreviated according to the style used in Index Medicus. Consult the List of Journals Indexed in Index Medicus , published annually as a list in the January issue of Index Medicus. The list can also be obtained through the library's Web site (http://www.nlm.nih.gov). References to papers accepted but not yet published should be designated as "in press" or "forthcoming"; authors should obtain written permission to cite such papers as well as verification that they have been accepted for publication. Information from manuscripts submitted but not accepted should be cited in the text as "unpublished observations" with written permission from the source. Avoid citing a personal communication unless it provides essential information not available from a public source, in which case the name of the person and date of communication should be cited in parentheses in the text. For scientific articles, authors should obtain written permission and confirmation of accuracy from the source of a personal communication. The references must be verified by the author against the original documents.

Illustrations, figures and tables
- Digital files of figures and illustrations should be stored with the "save as" option of your editing program in .EPS or .TIF format. Formats such as JPEG, GIF, PCX, Pict and WMF are not acceptable for further processing. When a .TIF or .EPS file is not available submit high quality hardcopy.
- Grayscale images should be saved or scanned with a resolution of 800 dpi (dots per inch), whereas photographic images should be stored with a resolution of at least 300 dpi.
- In line graphics, lines should not be thinner than 0.25 pt.
- Line drawings should be large enough to permit reduction to the specific journal size without affecting legibility. If scans of line drawing are submitted, please scan at 150 lpi (lines per inch) or 300 dpi.
- Submit your figures in the original program they were made in and submit them separately from the text files. Do not embed them in the text file of your manuscript.
- In-fill patterns and screens should have a density of at least 10%. Please avoid shading or elements filled with patterns in the figures as much as possible. If shading is necessary, please note that the shade will darken considerably when reducing the figure. Different types of shading must, therefore, be very distinct.
- Freehand or typewritten lettering is not acceptable.
- Use a compression program such as Winzip or Stuffit when submitting figures as an e-mail attachment.
- Tables (including headings and notes), figures and figure legends must be presented on separate pages.
- · Tables and figures should be numbered in Arabic numerals. The approximate position of figures and tables should be clearly indicated in the text. All tables and figures to be placed in the text should be referred to in the body text.
- The costs of coloured illustrations and halftones is $ 1000,-- per page and must be met in full by the author(s). Prepayment is required and estimates can be obtained at the time of submission of the manuscript for review.
