The hullabaloo over indexing
Haimanti Choudhury · Journal of Ophthalmic Research and Practice · 2024
Journal of Ophthalmic Research and Practice (JORP) wishes its readers warm greetings for the ensuing festive season.I, on behalf of the editorial board and executive committee of the Ophthalmological Society of Assam (OSA), take immense pride in successfully completing a year's journey with JORP.I want to extend my heartiest congratulations to all readers, contributors, and OSA members for their inspiring proactive role in the growth of JORP.As JORP has an ISSN, it has led to widespread visibility of the journal, not just in our country but also abroad.I was pleasantly surprised when we looked into the submission demography of the journal.Among the current manuscripts, 64.2% of submissions are from pan India (10 states), 21.4% from Assam, and 14.2% from abroad (USA, UK, and Singapore).A question of genuine concern among potential contributors is the indexing and abstracting of the journal.
