The American Academy of Ophthalmology has announced the launch of Ophthalmology® Glaucoma, a new scientific journal focused exclusively on glaucoma. As development of next-generation glaucoma devices and drugs surges, Ophthalmology Glaucoma offers researchers an expanded opportunity to publish top-tier, original research of interest to glaucoma specialists around the world.
The Academy will publish Ophthalmology Glaucoma in partnership with the American Glaucoma Society. The partnership serves the mission of both organisations to advance scientific research and improve patient care. Dr. Henry Jampel serves as editor-in-chief. He is a professor of ophthalmology at the Wilmer Eye Institute of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
The inaugural issue will be available online on August 13, with the print version mailed on August 15.
Ophthalmology Glaucoma is the second extension of Ophthalmology, the official journal of the American Academy of Ophthalmology. One of the most-read clinical publications within the medical specialty, Ophthalmology has an impact factor of 7.479. The new journal will benefit from the same expedient review and publication process as Ophthalmology and Ophthalmology® Retina. All accepted Ophthalmology Glaucoma manuscripts will be available immediately online.
Ophthalmology Glaucoma is a free member benefit for the members of the American Glaucoma Society. Academy members may subscribe from the Academy's online store at a special discounted rate. Non-members of the Academy or the American Glaucoma Society can subscribe through Elsevier at: http://www.ophthalmologyglaucoma.org/action/ecommerce.
