Scope and selection. <strong>Investigative</strong> <strong>Ophthalmology</strong><br />
is intended to convey information to those interested<br />
in all areas of vision research. We welcome<br />
the submission of manuscripts describing<br />
laboratory and clinical investigations of the eye<br />
and the visual processes. Papers submitted for<br />
publication should be original and should not be<br />
submitted for publication elsewhere. Papers submitted<br />
by non-members of the Association for<br />
Research in Vision and <strong>Ophthalmology</strong> will be<br />
given equal consideration. Papers should be<br />
written in English and contributed solely to<br />
<strong>Investigative</strong> <strong>Ophthalmology</strong>. Preference will be<br />
given to timely reports, to manuscripts of 2,000<br />
words or less (approximately eight double-spaced<br />
typewritten pages), and to reports of broadest<br />
general interest.<br />
Statements and opinions expressed in the articles<br />
and communications herein are those of the<br />
author(s) and not necessarily those of the Editors)<br />
or publisher and the Editor(s) and publisher<br />
disclaim any responsibility or liability for<br />
such material. Neither the Editor(s) nor the<br />
publisher guarantee, warrant, or endorse any<br />
product or service advertised in this publication,<br />
nor do they guarantee any claim made by the<br />
manufacturer of such product or service.<br />
Style and organization. Articles should be written<br />
so as to be easily understandable to vision researchers<br />
in many fields. Abstracts should be as<br />
free of jargon and specialized language as possible<br />
and should specifically state the conclusions of the<br />
study. All investigators should specify any direct<br />
or indirect financial interest involved in the outcome<br />
of any paper or study, and all sources of<br />
support.<br />
Submit the original and three (3) copies of<br />
the manuscript and illustrations. Type manuscript<br />
double-spaced on one side of the paper. The<br />
following organization is recommended: 1. Abstract<br />
(250 words or less orienting the problem,<br />
describing the major observations, and stating the<br />
principal conclusion). 2. Introduction and objective<br />
of study (omit extensive reviews of the<br />
literature). 3. Methods and experimental design<br />
(brief but compatible with repetition of the work;<br />
refer to published procedures by reference only).<br />

4. Results (describe with minimum of discussion<br />
—use such tables, photographs, and charts as<br />
are necessary to clarify and document the text).<br />
5. Discussion (limit to the data presented, their<br />
significance, and their limitations; avoid unsupported<br />
hypotheses). Avoid unusual abbreviations;<br />
employ standard chemical or nonproprietary pharmaceutical<br />
nomenclature. (See Style Manual for<br />
Biological Journals, 1960, American Institute of<br />
Biological <strong>Science</strong>s, 2000 P Street, N.W., Washington,<br />

Key words. A list of 5 to 10 key words should<br />
be provided on a separate sheet. A selection will<br />
be made from these and printed at the head<br />
of the article to facilitate indexing and retrieval<br />
for the medical literature.<br />
References. Restrict the bibliography to pertinent<br />
references. Refer to them in the text by number<br />
only, and list and number them at the end of<br />
the manuscript in the order of their mention,<br />
using style found in the Cumulated Index, Medicus<br />
and in the following order: 1. Journal references:<br />
authors, title, journal, volume, page, and<br />
year. 2. Book references: authors, title, edition,<br />
city, year, and publisher. It is the author's responsibility<br />
to verify each reference.<br />
Illustrations. Results may be presented in tables<br />
or figures, but only under exceptional circumstances<br />
should the same data be presented in<br />
both. Illustrations should be numbered consecutively<br />
in Arabic, and marked lightly on the<br />
back with figure number, author's name, and<br />
"top." Type legends on a separate sheet. Provide<br />
unmounted, glossy photographic prints in which<br />
the details are clearly evident, or original illustrations<br />
on good quality paper on which the lining<br />
and lettering are done with India ink. Approximately<br />
three full pages of halftone illustrations,<br />
or their equivalent, are permitted without extra<br />
charge. Illustrations in excess of this amount will<br />
be billed to the author at approximately $25.00<br />
per full page. Authors who wish their electron<br />
micrographs to be printed on special paper will<br />
be billed at $52.00 per page. Arrangements should<br />
be made with the Editor for the use of color<br />
plates.<br />
Reports. Special consideration for rapid review and<br />
prompt publication will be given to Reports. These<br />
should be written in the same format as regular<br />
papers, including an abstract, but should be no<br />
longer than 5 double-spaced, typewritten pages<br />
in length, and may include up to 4 figures or<br />
tables.<br />
