Abstract

Greetings from TJOSR. The new team of TNOA 2023-24 took over under the presidentship of Dr. Nirmal Fredrick in Our Platinum Jubilee conference of TNOA held in Trichy. Heartfelt thanks to Dr. Ramakrishnan sir for the unconditional support to the journal and the editorial board during his tenure as president. The Ex officio members, Managing committee members, and the editorial board members proposed to broaden and strengthen the scope of our journal. Our Journal’s New Advisory board comprises experts who have kindly consented to represent the Journal by providing their valued guidance and support to the editorial team of our journal. Our international advisory board comprises Dr. Gangadharasundar, Dr. Azim Siraj, Dr. Subramaniam Manohar, and Dr. Moses. Our National Advisors include Dr. Natarajan, Dr. Vanathi. M, Dr. Santhosh Honavar, and Dr. Arup Chakravarthy. Our state advisory board encompasses Dr. Srinivas K Rao, Dr. Jyothirmay Biswas, Dr. R. Venkatesh, and Dr. Murali Ariga. With the enlightenment and the suggestions of our advisors, we wish to accomplish our goal of making TJOSR a top-quality, most sought-after journal for our fraternity. The success of our journal is dependent on the voluntary efforts and contributions of editorial board members. As a first step, we expanded the board with new editorial board members who have made their contributions to the scientific community and are dedicated to the spread of knowledge. All new members are chosen based on the high degree of expertise in their specialty, having experience with reviewing manuscripts, and being committed to participating in the process of providing timely, high-quality reviews for the journal. Our new reviewers are primarily authors with solid publication records and research performance indicators, namely total citations. Heartfelt greetings to all the new section editors of TJOSR. We welcome you on board. In this issue: We have an array of review articles including clinical science and also on practice management and a good spectrum of original articles spread across the subspecialities of ophthalmology. A review article by Dr. Murali Ariga on Medicolegal aspects of ophthalmology will be an eye-opener for the ophthalmologist in this era of legal consumerism and the comprehensive review article by Dr. Parag Shah will be a ready reckoner for ROP screening. COVER IMAGE CREDITS: This issue and the upcoming issues will honor the best award-winning photographs (in TRICON’23, The Annual conference of TNOA) of both anterior and posterior segments by featuring in cover images of TJOSR. Hearty congratulations to all the excellent ophthalmic photography submissions. We invite more original research publications of appreciable quality from our authors. Let us perform well to refine the quality of the journal’s content and mold it as good as national and international publications, so that we achieve a wider readership and more citations. A journal’s editorial board is one of its greatest assets. Restructuring the board, perhaps gives increased responsibility for the entire board in terms of improving peer review time, increasing visibility, increasing submissions, and expanding the scope of the journal. With the support of the entire editorial team and TNOA management committee, we promise to deliver the same for sure and take TJOSR to newer heights. Yes, Together We Grow-Towards Excellence.
