Canadian Journal of Ophthalmology

Canadian Journal of Ophthalmology is the official journal of the Canadian Ophthalmological Society, published by Elsevier, and it has been the country's record of peer-reviewed eye research since 1966.《Canadian Journal of Ophthalmology》是加拿大眼科学会（Canadian Ophthalmological Society）的机关刊，由 Elsevier 出版，自 1966 年起一直接收本国经过同行评议的眼科研究。

Its stated commitment is timely publication of original, peer-reviewed ophthalmology and vision science articles, and the readership it serves is clinical rather than laboratory-led.刊物自陈的承诺是及时刊出原创的、经同行评议的眼科与视觉科学论文，它服务的读者以临床医生为主。

The 2025 impact factor is 2.3 and CiteScore 2.5. In ophthalmology it ranks 40th of 98 titles, with 3,071 citations to its credit.2025 年影响因子 2.3，CiteScore 2.5。在眼科类 98 种刊里排第 40 位，累计被引 3,071 次。

Scope

• The scope is the whole of ophthalmology rather than one subspecialty. Cataract and refractive surgery, cornea and external disease, glaucoma, retina and vitreous, uveitis and ocular oncology all sit inside it.范围覆盖整个眼科，不止一个亚专科。白内障与屈光手术、角膜与外眼病、青光眼、视网膜与玻璃体、葡萄膜炎、眼肿瘤都算在内。

• Neuro-ophthalmology, paediatric ophthalmology and strabismus, oculoplastics and reconstructive surgery share the same footing, and so do ophthalmic pathology and ocular imaging.神经眼科、小儿眼科与斜视、眼整形与重建手术处在同一层级，眼科病理与眼部影像也一样。

• Vision science counts as part of the brief. Translational work on the retina, the optic nerve and the ocular surface belongs here as much as a clinical series does.视觉科学属于范围的一部分。视网膜、视神经与眼表的转化研究，与一组临床病例同样放得下。

• Epidemiology and population eye health get a section of their own, which is where screening coverage, access to cataract surgery and the burden of diabetic retinopathy are argued out.流行病学与人群眼健康单列一节，筛查覆盖率、白内障手术的可及性、糖尿病视网膜病变的负担，都在这一节里争论。

• Artificial intelligence is a named heading, covering diagnostic algorithms, automated grading of fundus photographs and the reporting standards such models are now expected to meet.人工智能是单列的方向，涵盖诊断算法、眼底照片的自动分级，以及这类模型如今被要求达到的报告标准。

• Medical education forms another section, for work on how residents learn examination technique and how competence gets assessed before a trainee operates without supervision.医学教育另成一节，收的是住院医师怎样学会检查手法，以及学员在无人带教下动刀之前，胜任力如何评定。

• Systematic reviews and methodology carry the guidance work of the journal: risk-of-bias appraisal, meta-analysis, and the GRADE approach to grading how strong a recommendation is.系统综述与方法学承担刊物的指南性工作，偏倚风险评估、荟萃分析，以及用 GRADE 给推荐意见定强度。

• Original research articles are the backbone, with a structured abstract of 250 words, a 2,500-word body, up to 50 references and ten tables or figures.原创研究论文是主干，结构化摘要 250 词，正文 2,500 词，参考文献最多 50 条，图表合计 10 个。

• Research letters take short reports without an abstract at 600 words, eight references and two tables or figures, the route for a single clean observation.研究快报收不带摘要的短报告，600 词、8 条参考文献、2 个图表，适合一条干净利落的观察。

• Correspondence covers case reports, case series, brief communications and commentary, at 1,000 words with five references and no more than five authors.通讯类收病例报告、病例系列、简报与评论，1,000 词、5 条参考文献，作者不超过 5 人。

• Photo essays use images instead of prose: 100 words of text, up to four images laid out as a two-by-two panel, three authors at most and no references.图片随笔以图像代替文字，正文 100 词，最多 4 张图排成两行两列，作者至多 3 人，不列参考文献。

• Review articles are commissioned rather than submitted. Narrative reviews and practice guidelines arrive by invitation, at 3,000 words, 100 references and a 250-word unstructured abstract.综述靠约稿，不接受自由投稿。叙述性综述与实践指南凭邀请撰写，3,000 词、100 条参考文献，附 250 词的非结构化摘要。

• Editorials and letters to the editor complete the list. The first arrives by invitation at 1,000 words and two authors, the second allows 350 words, five references and three authors.社论与致编辑信补全清单。前者凭邀请，1,000 词、作者 2 人，后者 350 词、5 条参考文献、作者 3 人。

• Practice guidelines are asked to follow GRADE, so a recommendation carries its strength and the certainty of the evidence under it, instead of standing as a bare instruction.实践指南被要求遵循 GRADE，一条推荐要带上强度与证据确定性，不能只是一句指令。

History

• Volume 1, number 1 is dated January 1966, and the journal came out of Montreal under the Canadian Ophthalmological Society's own imprint.第 1 卷第 1 期署 1966 年 1 月，刊物在蒙特利尔以加拿大眼科学会自己的名义出版。

• For forty-five years the society kept the publishing in house. The library record still lists the Montreal imprint for those volumes and switches to Oxford only with the June 2011 issue.学会自己经营出版四十五年。图书馆记录把这些卷都记在蒙特利尔名下，直到 2011 年 6 月那一期才改记牛津。

• Elsevier took the production over in 2011, and the imprint has read Oxford, England ever since. The society stayed the owner, and only the publishing line moved.Elsevier 于 2011 年接手出版，此后的出版地记录都是英格兰的牛津。学会仍是刊物的所有者，移走的只是出版这一环。

• Six issues a year have been the pattern since 1982, which makes the journal bimonthly from volume 17 onward and keeps one volume to each calendar year.1982 年起固定为一年 6 期，刊物自第 17 卷起改为双月刊，一卷正好对上一个日历年。

• Volume numbering is a subtraction: take the year and remove 1965. Volume 60 covers 2025 and volume 61 covers 2026, as the deposited records confirm.卷号是一道减法，年份减去 1965。第 60 卷对应 2025 年，第 61 卷对应 2026 年，存档记录可以核对。

• MEDLINE and PubMed have taken it from the first issue, with Index Medicus running alongside, so nothing in the sixty volumes falls outside the index.MEDLINE 与 PubMed 从创刊号起全量收录，Index Medicus 同期并行，六十卷里没有一篇落在索引之外。

• Five impact factors read 1.882, 2.592, 3.3, 2.8 and 2.3. The 2023 peak now sits a full point behind, and the 2025 figure holds the 59.7th percentile.五个影响因子依次是 1.882、2.592、3.3、2.8、2.3。2023 年的高点已经被甩开整整一分，2025 年的数值守在 59.7 百分位。

• The 2025 file credits it with 3,071 citations and a cited half-life of 8.2 years, a span that suits a specialty whose back volumes stay on the shelf.2025 年的表记下 3,071 次被引与被引半衰期 8.2 年，这个跨度合于一门会把过刊留在架上的学科。

• Output runs at roughly 128 articles a year on the citation index count, with 141 items classed as citable and an immediacy index a shade under one.按引文索引的算法，一年约 128 篇论文，141 条被归为可引项，即年指标略低于 1。

• Gold open access accounts for 17.74 percent of the file. The rest reaches readers through subscription, and the hybrid route has been the only one on offer.金色开放获取占全部文章的 17.74%。其余经由订阅送到读者手里，混合模式一直是唯一的选项。

• The French title, Journal canadien d'ophtalmologie, runs beside the English one in the library record, a reminder that the society has published in two languages from the start.图书馆记录把法文刊名「Journal canadien d'ophtalmologie」与英文并列，提醒读者这家学会从创刊起就用两种语言出版。

• Each DOI still spells the print ISSN inside its own string, so a 2026 editorial board listing resolves as 10.1016/s0008-4182(26)00174-2 under the Elsevier prefix.每个 DOI 都把自己的印刷版 ISSN 写进字符串，2026 年一则编委会名录在 Elsevier 前缀下解析为 10.1016/s0008-4182(26)00174-2。

Editors

• Varun Chaudhary, based in Hamilton, Ontario, holds the editor-in-chief post. Suzanne Purkis is managing editor and runs the office that keeps the queue moving.主编是常驻安大略省汉密尔顿的 Varun Chaudhary。Suzanne Purkis 任管理编辑，负责让队列往前走的编辑部日常。

• The board page lists 37 editors and board members across six countries or regions, with 26 in Canada, seven in the United States and one in India.编委会页面列出 6 个国家或地区的 37 位编辑与编委，其中加拿大 26 位，美国 7 位，印度 1 位。

• Seventeen subject sections each carry a named editor or a small team, so a paper on glaucoma and a paper on uveitis reach different desks on the same day.十七个学科分栏各有一位署名编辑或一个小组，同一天进来的青光眼稿与葡萄膜炎稿，落在不同的案头。

• Cataract and optics answer to Iqbal Ike Ahmed, while cornea, external disease and refractive surgery run through Clara Chan, Mahshad Darvish, Prashant Garg, Simon P. Holland, Joshua Teichman and Sonia Yeung.白内障与屈光晶体由 Iqbal Ike Ahmed 负责，角膜、外眼病与屈光手术由 Clara Chan、Mahshad Darvish、Prashant Garg、Simon P. Holland、Joshua Teichman 与 Sonia Yeung 分管。

• Glaucoma is split between Neeru Gupta and Tianwei Ellen Zhou, and neuro-ophthalmology among Laura Donaldson, Rustum Karanjia, Andrew Lee and Susan Mollan.青光眼由 Neeru Gupta 与 Tianwei Ellen Zhou 分担，神经眼科交给 Laura Donaldson、Rustum Karanjia、Andrew Lee 与 Susan Mollan。

• Retina and vitreous has the largest bench, with Sophie J. Bakri, Kevin Blinder, Enrico Borrelli, Gemmy Cheung, Sunir J. Garg, Jason Noble, Thomas G. Sheidow and Matthew Tennant on it.视网膜与玻璃体的阵容最大，成员有 Sophie J. Bakri、Kevin Blinder、Enrico Borrelli、Gemmy Cheung、Sunir J. Garg、Jason Noble、Thomas G. Sheidow 与 Matthew Tennant。

• Systematic reviews and methodology rest on Gordon Guyatt, Mark Phillips and Dena Zeraatkar, names that also carry weight in the evidence-based medicine literature.系统综述与方法学一栏由 Gordon Guyatt、Mark Phillips 与 Dena Zeraatkar 支撑，这几位在循证医学文献里也有分量。

• Review is single anonymized, which means the referees know who wrote the paper while the authors do not learn who judged it.评审采用单盲，审稿人知道作者是谁，作者不知道由谁审的稿。

• A manuscript passes editorial screening before it goes out, and at least two reviewers then see it. One appeal is allowed after a rejection.稿件先过编辑初筛再送出，至少有两位审稿人经手。退稿之后允许申诉一次。

• Invited reviews join the same referee pool as submitted work, and special issues or collections are supervised by the journal's own editor, with guest editors recommending topics.约稿综述与自由投稿进同一个审稿池。专辑与专题集由本刊编辑统筹，客座编辑只负责推荐选题。

• Open access costs 3,220 US dollars under CC BY-NC-ND, with CC BY available on request after acceptance and a 25 percent discount for members of the society.开放获取的费用是 3,220 美元，适用 CC BY-NC-ND 协议，录用后可申请换成 CC BY，学会会员享七五折。
