Description:
1.
Vision Research is a journal devoted to the functional aspects of human, vertebrate and invertebrate
vision and publishes
experimental and observational studies, reviews, and theoretical papers firmly based upon the current facts of
visual science.
Vision Research also accepts experimental studies in which clinical material has been used to address an issue of basic research
interest, or where basic research methods have been used to address an issue of clinical importance, or where basic research may have,
as yet unapplied, clinical relevance, as far as mechanisms of
function or dysfunction of the
visual system are concerned.
The words clinical and
vision sciences should be interpreted in the broadest sense, as represented by the areas of expertise of
the members of the
Editorial Board.
Papers reporting detailed investigations are encouraged and authors should be advised to include enough background material in the introduction
of their papers so that they are comprehensible to the non-specialist. The purpose of theoretical papers is to give a higher sense of
order to the facts as they are presently known, or to point to new observations which can be verified experimentally. Papers dealing
with questions in the history of visual science should lay stress upon the history of ideas in this field.
Vision Research has
always welcomed the broadest interpretation of visual science.
2.
Vision Research also welcomes mini reviews. A mini review
is not intended to be a comprehensive history of the subject, but rather a survey of recent developments in fast-growing and active areas
of vision research covering only the last few years.
3. Letters to the Editor: If in response to a published article a letter to
the Editor is received, this letter will be sent out for review and at the same time be forwarded to the author(s) tackled. If the letter
is accepted, the author(s) of the initial paper will be invited to write a reply within a short period of time, and the reviewers of
the letter will be asked to review the reply.
4. Obituaries:
Vision Research has a restrictive Obituary policy. Obituaries
should be
submitted to the appropriate
Section
Editor and the Chairman, and should not exceed a length of one printed page including photograph.
5. Special non-recurrent
symposia may be published in
Vision Research. Symposium organizers are requested to contact the Chairman. The decision is made
by the Editorial Board of
Vision Research at the annual meeting during ARVO.
6. Sponsored Articles:
