Scope

• The journal covers clinical ophthalmology with a strong retinal centre, which follows from its society.刊物覆盖临床眼科，视网膜占的分量最重，这与所属学会相符。

• Retina and vitreous work sits at the core, and the EURETINA link keeps that area supplied with papers.视网膜与玻璃体的工作在核心，与欧洲视网膜专家学会的关系让这一块常年有稿。

• Medical retina, including injection therapy and imaging, is treated as a subject in its own right.内科视网膜，含注射治疗与影像，被当作独立题目处理。

• Surgical retina appears through technique papers and outcome series rather than through instrument notes.手术视网膜以技术论文与结局序列的形式出现，不是器械说明。

• New Technologies in Ophthalmology is a standing section, so device and imaging developments have a fixed home.眼科新技术是常设栏目，器械与影像的进展因此有固定去处。

• Glaucoma, cornea, uveitis and paediatric ophthalmology are covered, though the retinal weight is plain from the section list.青光眼，角膜，葡萄膜炎与小儿眼科都在范围内，视网膜的分量从栏目表就能看出来。

• Systematic reviews are taken under PRISMA, which puts evidence synthesis on the same footing as primary studies.系统综述按 PRISMA 接收，证据综合与原始研究因此地位相当。

• Methods articles are accepted with SPIRIT or PRISMA-P reporting, a rare format for a clinical journal.方法学论文按 SPIRIT 或 PRISMA-P 报告接收，这在临床刊物里少见。

• Guidelines follow AGREE or RIGHT reporting, and they are reviewed to the same standard as research.指南按 AGREE 或 RIGHT 报告，评审标准与研究论文一致。

• Research articles run to about 5,000 words with four to eight figures or tables, a size that suits a full trial report.研究论文约 5,000 词，图表四到八件，这个体量放得下一份完整试验报告。

• Brief reports take 3,000 words and no more than three figures, which is where small series land.简报限 3,000 词与三张图以内，小样本序列多落在这里。

• Mini reviews are capped at two printed pages with a 200 word abstract, a format built for a quick update.小型综述限两页印刷页，摘要 200 词，是给快速更新用的格式。

• Letters and editorials are both held to 1,000 words, so comment and correspondence stay short.来信与社论都限 1,000 词，评论与通信因此都短。

• Two named lectures run in the journal, the EURETINA Lecture and the Ophthalmologica Lecture, and both carry the society's voice.刊内有两种以名目设的讲座，即 EURETINA 讲座与本刊讲座，两者都带学会的声音。

• Accepted manuscripts go up as advance articles within about a week, and the version of record replaces them after proofs.录用稿约一周内先以预印形式上线，校样完成后由正式版本替换。

• Colour figures carry no charge, which matters for a specialty that publishes angiograms and optical coherence scans.彩图不收费用，对一门常发血管造影与相干光断层图像的专科很重要。

• The readership is retina specialists and general ophthalmologists in Europe, with a smaller clinical-science readership elsewhere.读者是欧洲的视网膜专科医师与普通眼科医师，欧洲之外以临床科研读者为主。

History

• The publisher dates the journal from 1899, which is the founding year of the Zeitschrift für Augenheilkunde that it grew out of.出版方把刊物算到 1899 年，那是它的前身《德国眼科学杂志》创刊的年份。

• The present title was formed in 1938, when that German journal merged with the Journal international d'ophtalmologie.现名在 1938 年成形，当时那份德国刊物与《国际眼科杂志》合并。

• The National Library of Medicine records 1938 as the start year and lists both predecessor names in its alternate title field.美国国立医学图书馆把 1938 年记为起始年，两个前身刊名都列在别名栏里。

• The two dates are not in conflict, they mark the start of the ancestor and the start of the merged title.两个年份并不冲突，一个标的是前身的起点，一个标的是合并后刊名的起点。

• Karger of Basel has published it through that history, and the National Library of Medicine records Basel as the imprint.巴塞尔的 Karger 一路出版，美国国立医学图书馆把出版地记为巴塞尔。

• Volume numbers run from the merger, so volume 249 belongs to 2026 and volume 1 to 1778 in the reckoning used today.卷号从合并算起，按今天的算法第 249 卷属 2026 年，第 1 卷属 1778 年。

• Six issues a year is the current pattern, with print and online running in parallel.现行节奏是一年六期，纸本与网络并行。

• Two ISSNs are in use, 0030-3755 in print and 1423-0267 online.刊物用两个 ISSN，纸本 0030-3755，网络版 1423-0267。

• The National Library of Medicine gives current indexing status yes, so the title is in MEDLINE.美国国立医学图书馆的现收录状态为是，刊物在 MEDLINE 里。

• Impact history runs 3.25 in 2021, 3.757 in 2022, 2.1 in 2023, 1.9 in 2024 and 2.3 in 2025, a fall and then a partial recovery.影响因子的历史为 2021 年 3.25，2022 年 3.757，2023 年 2.1，2024 年 1.9，2025 年 2.3，先落后回升一部分。

• Total citations are 2,697 for the 2025 measurement year, against 34 articles counted.2025 测量年总被引 2,697 次，计入文章 34 篇。

• Thirty four articles a year is a thin base, and the impact figure moves easily at that size.一年 34 篇是很薄的基数，这种体量下影响因子容易动。

• Gold open access covers 23.21 percent, so roughly a quarter of papers are free at publication and the rest are not.金色开放获取覆盖 23.21%，约四分之一的论文发表即免费，其余不是。

• The subscription route charges 430 euros a page after the first five pages, and colour is free on either route.订阅路线在前五页之后按每页 430 欧元计费，两条路线的彩图都免费。

• Read and publish agreements sit beside the open access option, which lets authors at participating institutions publish without paying.开放获取之外还有阅读与出版协议，参与机构的作者可以免付。

Editors

• Martin Zinkernagel at the University Eye Clinic in Bern is the editor in chief.主编是伯尔尼大学眼科医院的 Martin Zinkernagel。

• He took over from Sebastian Wolf, who handled all submissions from January 2022 while the handover ran.他接的是 Sebastian Wolf 的班，交接期间自 2022 年 1 月起由 Wolf 处理全部投稿。

• Wolf remains on the board, and so do Ursula Schmidt-Erfurth, Frank G. Holz, Jost B. Jonas, Anat Loewenstein, Eberhart Zrenner and Tunde Peto.Wolf 仍留在编委里，Ursula Schmidt-Erfurth，Frank G. Holz，Jost B. Jonas，Anat Loewenstein，Eberhart Zrenner 与 Tunde Peto 也在。

• The masthead lists twenty three associate editors and twenty seven board members, a wide net for a journal of this size.编务名单列有 23 位副编辑与 27 位编委，对这样规模的刊物算是撒得很开。

• Review is single anonymized, with reviewers hidden and authors named.评审为单匿名，评审人隐去，作者具名。

• Two reviewers are the usual number, and the journal does not accept reviewer suggestions from authors.通常送两位评审人，刊物不接受作者自己推荐的评审。

• Transfers are taken from Oxford University Press and from other Karger titles, and the earlier reviews can travel with the paper.刊物接收牛津大学出版社与 Karger 其他刊物的转稿，此前的评审意见可以一起带过来。

• The editorial process follows COPE, and images are screened for manipulation alongside the usual paper mill checks.编务流程遵循 COPE，图像除常规的论文工厂筛查外还查篡改。

• Terminology follows the ANSI and NISO standard, which keeps anatomical and surgical terms consistent across papers.术语按 ANSI 与 NISO 标准，解剖与手术用词在各篇之间保持一致。

• The acceptance rate is 18.10 percent and the mean time to a first decision is 31 days.录用率 18.10%，首次决定平均 31 天。

• An 18 percent acceptance rate is the lowest in this batch, and it fits a journal that runs 34 papers a year.18% 的录用率是本批最低的，与一年只发 34 篇的体量相符。

• The two named lectures are edited in house, so the society's annual addresses reach print under editorial control.两种名目讲座由编辑部自己编，学会的年度演讲因此带着编辑把控进入印刷。

• Fees are published on the Karger author pages, and the open access route runs through SciPris rather than through the submission system.费用公布在 Karger 的作者页上，开放获取走 SciPris，不走投稿系统。

• Offers of transfer carry their reviews, which saves a second round of refereeing and shortens the path to print.转稿带着评审意见，免掉第二轮外审，见刊的路也短一些。
