Enhancements in Peer Review of Manuscripts by the Journal
American Journal of OphthalmologyVol. 158Issue 1p1Published in issue: July, 2014- Thomas J. Liesegang
Cited in Scopus: 0A decade ago, the American Journal of Ophthalmology (the Journal) completed a full peer review of almost all submitted manuscripts, feeling it was a responsibility of the Journal. Five years ago, with increasing submissions and a relatively stable, competent peer review pool, the Journal started to triage manuscripts, mainly at the Editor in Chief level, resulting in about 10% of manuscripts rejected at submission, along with a brief note to the authors. Over the past 3 years the Executive Editors have been further empowered to triage manuscripts and to decline further peer review of a manuscript if they are confident that it would not be accepted by the Journal.
