The following Article Collection/ Thematic Series is currently open for submissions:
Climate Change and Ophthalmology
Dove Medical Press is pleased to invite you to submit your research to an upcoming Article Collection on "Climate Change and Ophthalmology" in Clinical Ophthalmology.
Our climate is changing. The science behind this is irrefutable. We live on a planet that we are finely evolved to live on, and changes to our planet's climate therefore threaten us. There is already an increasing research base linking health issues with climate change but less work has been done on the threat to our eyes and visual system from these changes.
As climate change creates an increasingly hostile environment our vision becomes increasingly important. If climate change brings more eye disease, visual impairment and blindness then we need to urgently look at ways to mitigate this and at the same time prepare for it. Healthcare systems and eyecare charities need to know the eye diseases that will be most affected by climate change and move resources into those areas. As animal and plant migration occur in response to a changing environment practitioners need to be aware that eye diseases they have never encountered may appear. It is therefore vital that research efforts and academic publications address these issues - hence this special series.
Papers are welcomed that deal with any areas related to climate change and eye care. From original research to reviews, all article types are welcome. From treatment trials to healthcare delivery to ideas for new treatments to service delivery to ideas of how society and individuals might adapt to a greater burden of visual impairment and blindness, the whole breadth and depth of ophthalmology and eye care is welcome.

What is the advantage to you of publishing in Clinical Ophthalmology?
- It is an open access journal which means that your paper is available to anyone in the world to download for free directly from the Dove website.
- Although Clinical Ophthalmology receives a large number of papers, unlike many traditional journals, your paper will not be rejected due to lack of space. We are an electronic journal and there are no limits on the number or size of the papers we can publish.
- The time from submission to a decision being made on a paper can, in many journals, take some months and this is very frustrating for authors. Clinical Ophthalmology has a quicker turnaround time than this. Generally peer review is complete within 3-4 weeks and the editor’s decision within 2-14 days of this. It is therefore very rare to have to wait more than 6 weeks for first editorial decision.
- Many authors have found that our peer reviewer’s comments substantially add to their final papers.
To recover our editorial and production costs and continue to provide our content at no cost to readers we charge authors or their institution an article publishing charge.
