JOURNAL OF PEDIATRIC OPHTHALMOLOGY & STRABISMUS

The Journal of Pediatric Ophthalmology & Strabismus (ISSN 0191-3913) is a bimonthly peer-reviewed publication issued by SLACK Incorporated in the United States, dedicated exclusively to the clinical and scientific advancement of pediatric ophthalmology and strabismus. As an indexed source in the Science Citation Index (SCI), the journal maintains a solid reputation within the medical community, typically holding a CAS ranking in Zone 4 for both Medicine and Ophthalmology, with an impact factor that has recently fluctuated between 1.0 and 2.0. Its scope encompasses a wide array of research areas, including the diagnosis and management of pediatric eye diseases, therapeutic interventions for strabismus, visual development, and associated surgical techniques, featuring a diverse mix of clinical studies, case reports, and comprehensive reviews. Although it is not an open-access journal and its relatively modest impact factor may limit its competitiveness in certain high-pressure academic evaluation systems, it remains a highly authoritative and low-risk venue for researchers seeking to disseminate high-quality clinical findings in the specialized field of pediatric eye care.
