About the journal
'Ophthalmic Research' features original papers, reviews and short communications reporting basic and clinical experimental studies. Authors from throughout the world cover morphologic, physical, physiologic, pharmacological, biochemical and molecular biological aspects of ophthalmology and experimental eye research. Articles on methodological problems are included as well. The results of new experimental research are also interpreted in light of their importance to the clinical work of the eye specialist. This journal provides a record of international research for both researchers and clinicians in ophthalmology.
 The journal further offers, at a reasonable price, the possibility of publishing dedicated supplements and abstracts of conferences and symposia. Please consult the managing editor for this.

Conditions
 All manuscripts are subjected to editorial review. Manuscripts are received with the explicit understanding that they are not under simultaneous consideration by any other publication except in abstract form. Submission of an article for publication implies transfer of the copyright from the author to the publisher upon acceptance. Accepted papers become the permanent property of ‘Ophthalmic Research' and may not be reproduced by any means, in whole or in part, without the written consent of the publisher. It is the author's responsibility to obtain permission to reproduce illustrations, tables, etc. from other publications. Research involving live human and animal subjects must have been approved by the author's institutional review board. Ophthalmic Research requires that in the Methods section of their manuscript the authors state that they adhered to the tenets of the Declaration of Helsinki or the NIH statement for the use of Animals in Research.


Arrangement
 Title page: The first page of each paper should indicate the title, the authors’ names, the institute where the work was conducted, and a short title for use as running head. NB: Authors wishing to preserve the phonetic meaning of diacritics (PubMed reduces diacritics to their root characters) must spell their names accordingly when submitting manuscripts (e.g. Müller should be Mueller).
 Full address: The exact postal address of the corresponding author complete with postal code must be given at the bottom of the title page. Please also supply phone and fax numbers, as well as e-mail address.
 Key words: For indexing purposes, a list of 3–10 key words in English is essential.
 Abstract: Each paper needs an abstract of up to 10 lines.
 Footnotes: Avoid footnotes.
 Tables and illustrations: Tables and illustrations (both numbered in Arabic numerals) should be sent in separate files. Tables require a heading and figures a legend, also in a separate file. Due to technical reasons, figures with a screen background should not be submitted. When possible, group several illustrations in one block for reproduction (max. size 180 x 223 mm). Black and white half-tone and color illustrations must have a final resolution of 300 dpi after scaling, line drawings one of 800–1,200 dpi.


Color Illustrations
 Up to 6 color illustrations per page can be integrated within the text at the special price of CHF / USD 660.00 per page. Color illustrations are reproduced at the author's expense.


References
 In the text identify references by Arabic numerals [in square brackets]. Material submitted for publication but not yet accepted should be noted as ‘unpublished data’ and not be included in the reference list. The list of references should include only those publications which are cited in the text. Do not alphabetize; number references in the order in which they are first mentioned in the text. The surnames of the authors followed by initials should be given. There should be no punctuation other than a comma to separate the authors. Preferably, please cite all authors. Abbreviate journal names according to the Index Medicus system. (Also see International Committee of Medical Journal Editors: Uniform requirements for manuscripts submitted to biomedical journals. N Engl J Med 1997;336:309–315. www.icmje.org)
 Digital Object Identifier (DOI) S. Karger Publishers supports DOIs as unique identifiers for articles. A DOI number will be printed on the title page of each article.
