Ophthalmology Journal

Ophthalmology Editor-in-Chief, Russell Van Gelder, MD, PhD, and our new Associate Editor, Laura Downie, BOptom, PhD, guest host this special episode introducing "Ophthalmology Reviews." Ophthalmology Reviews is a new section in our flagship journal for structured systematic reviews and meta-analyses. The two editors discuss the importance of these reviews in our field and what our journal is looking for from authors in these types of submissions.

For more information, read their recent editorial in Ophthalmology, "Gargantua, The Scholarship of Synthesis and the Evolution of the Ophthalmology Family Journals" and review our Guide for Authors section on Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis.
