“Eye Science” in 2011
摘要
2011 is an opportune time for Yanke Xuebao (Eye Science) to launch its bilingual edition as a platform for cooperation between Chinese and international vision researchers. The yearly research output of Chinese investigators in all fields of science, but particularly biomedicine, has been growing recently by leaps and bounds. As an example, the American Journal of Ophthalmology (AJO), one of the most prestigious clinical journals in our field, received more submissions from East Asian authors (Japan, China and Korea alone) than they did from the United States in 2010. Chinese investigators ranked third on the list, climbing rapidly, only after the US and Japan. Top vision research centers in China, such as Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, where Eye Science is published, now rank alongside Moorfields and Johns Hopkins as among the most prolific institutions in the world, measured by articles appearing annually in peer-reviewed SCI journals.
