OPEN ACCESS
The article processing charge (APC) will be paid by ABCMO so authors of accepted peer-reviewed articles will receive perpetual unrestricted online access to their published article to readers globally, immediately upon publication. All articles are subject to the journal’s standard peer review process and will be accepted or rejected based on their own merit.
Before writing a full article, please use the portal link in the Submissions Tab to submit an abstract for review. The Journal of Medical Optometry uses a Double-Blind Peer Review process so all author information will be removed before the review begins. With that in mind, make sure you eliminate subtle “identifiers” such as Employers or Facilities from your abstract before submission.
