About the journal
|
Ophthalmic and Physiological Optics considers papers which deal either with basic aspects of visual science or with clinical and applied matters relevant to the practice and application of optometry. The material may be experimental, observational, theoretical or historical in nature. While emphasis is given to matters of importance to optometrists, many of the topics discussed are of interest to visual psychologists, physiologists, and others concerned with the development, use and restoration of vision. Basic studies might concern the development and use of vision. Articles dealing with the practice of optometry and its related instrumentation are major components of the Journal, topics ranging from the design of spectacle and contact lenses to ocular disease and the use of drugs. Emphasis is also given to problems in applied vision in such situations as driving, optical instrumentation and visual displays. |

Readership: optometrists, vision scientists, ophthalmologists, visual psychologists, physicists, neuroscientists and medical libraries.
Instructions to Authors
All manuscripts submitted for publication in the Journal should be sent to Dr Christine Dickinson BSc PhD MCOptom, Department of Optometry and Neuroscience, UMIST, PO Box 88, Manchester M60 1QD, UK; Tel: +44 161 200 3874; Fax: +0161 200 3887; E-mail: christine.dickinson@umist.ac.uk; Web: http://www.umist.ac.uk.
Electronic Submission
Initial submission may be by e-mail, or by hard copy (see details below). Following final revision, authors will be required to submit text (and preferably figures) for publication in electronic form.
Manuscripts
Authors are urged to write as concisely as possible. For Authors whose first language is not English, or who are new to writing scientific articles, the Editorial Office can provide guidance on style and grammar. For submission reporting on the evaluation of diagnostic tests for potential clinical use, the attention of authors is drawn to guidelines contained in the current version of the STARD statement (http://www.consort-statement.org/stardstatement.htm): those reporting parallel group randomised trials are directed to the CONSORT statement (http://www.consort-statement.org). Four copies should be submitted, typed on one side of the paper (A4) in double spacing with a margin of 30mm at the top and bottom and on both sides. Papers should be arranged in the following order of presentation: title of paper; names of the authors; address of the place at which the work was carried out (including postal and email addresses for corresponding author); a self-contained synopsis of the paper (150 words in length); a selection of 4-6 keywords to represent search terms likely to be used by those interested in this topic; the text; acknowledgements (if any); references; tables; and abbreviated title for use as a running headline; captions to figures (on separate sheet of paper).
Illustrations
Drawings and graphs should be supplied on heavy white paper/card or blue-lined coordinate paper using black ink. Label axes appropriately and clearly. Please use a selection of the following symbols:
?/SPAN>, ?/SPAN>, c, ?/SPAN>, r,s, <,=,p,q.
Photographs should be fine quality, large glossy prints suitable for reproduction. Authors are asked where possible to draw diagrams to one of the following widths, including lettering: 168 mm, 354 mm. During reproduction, the diagrams can be reduced to half of their original size; please ensure, therefore, that lettering can withstand such a reduction. The maximum depth at drawn size is 440 mm. Authors are asked to use the minimum amount of descriptive matter on graphs and drawings but rather to refer to curves, points, etc. by symbols and place the descriptive matter in the caption.
Four copies of each illustration are required and these should be numbered in a consecutive series of figures using Arabic numerals. Legends should be typed in double spacing on a separate page but grouped together. Each figure should be identified on the back with the figure number and name of author.
Electronic Instructions
We would very much like to receive your artwork in electronic form. Please save vector graphics (e.g. line artwork) in Encapsulated Post-script Format (EPS) and bitmap files (e.g. half-tones) in Tagged Image Format (TIFF). Ideally, vector graphics that have been saved in a metafile (.wmf) or pict (.pct) should be embedded within the text file. Detailed information on our digital illustration standards are available at http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/authors/digill.asp. Always enclose a hard copy of digitally supplied figures.
Tables
Tables should be typed on separate sheets together with a suitable caption at the top of each table. Column headings should be kept as brief as possible, and indicate units of measure in parentheses.
References
Referencing should follow the Harvard style.
(a) In the text, references should be quoted by giving the author's name followed by the year of publication. For more than two authors, the name of the first author is given followed by the words 'et al.' .
(b) The reference list should be typed separately at the end of the manuscript in alphabetical order and arranged as follows: author's name and initials, year, title of the article, abbreviated title of the journal, volume, first and last page numbers. Journal titles should be abbreviated according to the rules adopted in the World List of Scientific Periodicals. For example:
Stone, J. (1976). The possible influence of contact lenses on myopia. Br. J. Physiol. Optics 31, 89-114.
References to books should include the author's name and initials, year, title of book, volume, page numbers, publisher and place of publication. Where relevant, the title of a paper within a book, and the editor's names, should be given. For example:
Pitts, D. G. (1993). Ocular effects of radiant energy. In: Environmental Vision (eds D. G. Pitts and R. N. Kleinstein), Butterworth-Heinemann, Boston, MA, USA, pp. 151-220.
(c) A paper which has been accepted for publication but which has not appeared may be cited in the References with the abbreviated title of the journal followed by the words 'in press'.
Proofs
Authors are responsible for ensuring that all manuscripts (whether original or revised) are accurately typed before final submission. Authors will be sent proofs in PDF format via e-mail. Corrections must be returned to the Production Editor within 3 days of receipt; authors are requested to fax corrected proofs and minor corrections can be advised by email ensuring that the journal title, paper reference number and corresponding author name are quoted in the body of the message. Authors should note that corrections should be marked as clearly as possible and kept to a minimum. The Publishers reserve the right to charge for any changes made at the proof stage (other than Typesetter's errors) since the insertion or deletion of a single word may necessitate the resetting of whole paragraphs.
Offprints
Authors will be provided with electronic offprints of their paper. Paper offprints may be ordered at prices quoted on the order form which accompanies proofs. Note that this form should not be returned with your proofs, but to the address at the bottom of the form. The cost is more if the order form arrives too late for the main print run. Offprints are normally despatched within 3 weeks of publication of the issue in which the paper appears. Please contact the publishers if offprints do not arrive: however, please note that offprints are sent by surface mail, so overseas orders may take up to 6 weeks to arrive. Electronic offprints are sent to the corresponding author at his or her first e-mail address on the title page of the paper, unless advised otherwise; therefore please ensure that the name, address and e-mail of the receiving author are clearly indicated on the manuscript title page.
Copyright
Authors are asked to transfer copyright of their papers to The College of Optometrists, in accordance with requirements of the US Copyright Act, 1978. Authors are solely responsible for the factual accuracy of their papers. Authors will be required to assign copyright in their paper to the Journal Title. Copyright assignment is a condition of publication and papers will not be passed to the publisher for production unless copyright has been assigned. To assist authors an appropriate copyright assignment form will be supplied by the editorial office. (Government employees in both the US and the UK need to complete the Author Warranty sections, although copyright in such cases does not need to be assigned.) To access the copyright form please click here.
Accompanying all papers should be a statement that they have not been published elsewhere and that, if accepted for publication in Ophthalmic and Physiological Optics, they will not be submitted elsewhere without the consent of the Editor-in-Chief.
Author material archive policy
Please note that unless specifically requested not to, Blackwell Publishing will dispose of all hardcopy or electronic material submitted 2 months after publication. If you require the return of any material submitted, please inform the editorial office or production editor as soon as possible if you have not already done so.
