Copied from: Just look at the publication situations of the journals in a specific field. Experts in some fields value professional journals in that field. Some journals seem to have low impact factors, but they are top in their specific fields. For example, IOVS in ophthalmology, has an IF of only 3 or 4. But if a scientist engaged in ophthalmology research does not have a certain number of articles published on it, he/she may not be valued by peers in this field, even if he/she has lots of articles in some good multidisciplinary journals.

The leader in ophthalmology. In addition to an EBM, there are two reviewers, and dozens of opinions are provided. It is indeed helpful to improve the quality of the article, and the reviewer was also very straightforward. The review was very fast, the results were given in just a few weeks, and the second review was given in only a few days. It was accepted in 4 months.

The research group submitted a paper in November.
20241109 submission
20251201 major revisions returned, given 90 days, this is the fastest first review I have experienced in IOVS. The questions asked were not difficult to answer, mostly expected experiments, already prepared and waiting to be submitted.
20250110 revisions
20250123 accepted
The remaining work is formatting, as long as the formatting is done well, the paper will generally be published in the next issue of the journal.
Overall, although slightly declining, IOVS is still considered a decent journal in ophthalmology, after all, many reviewers are too lazy to check those articles with scores of 7 or 8.

One of the most influential journals in the field of basic research in optometry and vision science, ARVO's conference proceedings cover a wide range of related areas and are suitable for submission. The review process is handled by two editors (AE, EMB) and two reviewers, with a decision typically made within three days of submission. The first round of reviews takes about two months, with very professional and thorough feedback that significantly improves the quality of the article. Typically, authors are given 90 days for revisions, and the second round of reviews is usually quicker.

After one month of submission, the revised version was submitted. A major revision was given 90 days, with a request for a 2-week extension. The revised version was sent to two reviewers and the Associate Editor on the same day, and was accepted after waiting for more than twenty days.

May I ask how long it takes to assign a reviewer? I have submitted my paper for two weeks now, and it has been 12 days since the associate editor was assigned, but there has been no update

The first trial lasted nearly 2 months. After major renovations, the return was smooth. The second trial was completed in just 11 days, and it was also received smoothly.

IOVS authority; reviewer professional rigorously; the best journal for basic research in ophthalmology, researchers in this field must have masterpieces on IOVS to be recognized by the industry.

The leader of the ophthalmology basic journal, made a lot of comments, very rigorous journal.The review is relatively fast, and the overall journal is a more responsible journal. It is very rigorous. It will be published in the past seven months. If the experiment is not included in the middle, it will be published in four months.
