Aims & Scope

The Journal français d'ophtalmologie, official publication of the French Society of Ophthalmology, serves the French Speaking Community by publishing excellent research articles, communications of the French Society of Ophthalmology, in-depth reviews, position papers, letters received by the editor and a rich image bank in each issue. The scientific quality is guaranteed through unbiased peer-review, and the journal is member of the Committee of Publication Ethics (COPE). The editors strongly discourage editorial misconduct and in particular if duplicative text from published sources is identified without proper citation, the submission will not be considered for peer review and returned to the authors or immediately rejected.
