Aim $amp; Scope

The Video Journal of Vitreoretinal Surgery (VJVRS) is a peer-reviewed, free-access online and DVD journal that publishes original videos of surgical procedures of the vitreous and retina. Topics include new surgical techniques, instrument updates, interesting surgical cases and research findings. Reviews of well-known and recognized operations are also considered.

Skill transfer

VJVRS is designed to facilitate the transfer of knowledge and skills of vitreoretinal surgical procedures for ophthalmic surgeons and associated personnel. It is not the intent of the VJVRS to replace printed journals: rather, it takes advantage of video technology to capture and communicate all facets of the diseases of the posterior segment of the eye, thereby complementing traditional paper-based publications.

The Video Journal of Vitreoretinal Surgery is a tool for both publishing one’s own surgical videos and learning from quality-controlled videos of other vitreoretinal surgeons from around the world.

Every issue is comprised of one or more of the following sections:

a) Original video: contributions presenting a surgical technique
b) Interesting case: presentation of a surgical case
c) New technology: addressing new developments in devices and instrumentation

 

Publish your video rather than only presenting it at meetings

The Video Journal of Vitreoretinal Surgery forges a new frontier in visualized scientific publication by providing peer-reviewed videos in the field of vitreoretinal surgery. We invite you to actively participate by submitting your own videos to VJVRS. Your work will be published, provided with a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) number, accessible around the globe, as well as cited in your publication list.
