The fact that J.EuCornea is open access is another key advantage and sets it apart from many other mainstream journalsProf. Dua said that that the journal is specialty-focused and also publishes major reviews on current topics solicited from experts. “We cover innovations in eye care delivery and novel innovations including instrumentation and in particular eye-banking issues. Europe has been the source of numerous innovations in aspects of cornea and ocular surface. J.EuCornea, whilst retaining a global perspective, has a definite European flavour,” he said. All publications are online and in English, but translations into other languages of full articles or their abstracts may also be considered. The fact that J.EuCornea is open access is another key advantage and sets it apart from many other mainstream journals, believes Prof. Dua. “We hope to expand our readership and contributors in this manner and also provide a service to specialists in the field across the world especially in countries where individuals and libraries often cannot afford to purchase access to all papers,” he said. Prof. Dua said that would-be authors should not hesitate to put J.EuCornea at the top of their list of potential journals for submission. “We will provide a very rapid turn around and decision with constructive comments for revision and improvement where needed. I would also advise authors to read the instructions for submission provided on the website and not to be afraid to submit work that has been rejected elsewhere as all material received will be given a complete and fair assessment. Finally, authors are welcome to communicate with me, as Editor-in-Chief, or any member of the Editorial Board for questions or advice in relation to a proposed or submitted manuscript,” he said. https://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-eucornea/
