Abstract
Average time from manuscript submission to the final decision (including review, revision, and re-review) has been reduced from the 2016 baseline of 202 days to 96 days in 2018 and further optimized to 79 days in 2019. Because of an increased number of submissions, despite maintaining a steady acceptance rate, the number of published articles has gradually increased – from 268 in 2016 to 713 in 2019 [Figure 2]. Case reports, photo essays, and ophthalmic images increase the denominator for the calculation of the impact factor and potentially drive it down because of their relatively lower citations as compared to original articles and review articles. In February 2020, the General Body of the All India Ophthalmological Society (AIOS) wisely approved to provide a dedicated channel for case reports, photo essays, and ophthalmic images by initiating a companion journal– IJO Case Reports, while the main IJO will concentrate on original articles and reviews.
