• Continuous publication mode

  2022-09-21

  Since September 2022, Hong Kong Journal of Ophthalmology has changed the mode of publication to 'continuous publication mode'. Once approved, articles are published online to facilitate the rapid dissemination of ophthalmic knowledge through the Journal. Articles that are assigned to a specific issue and subsequently printed are considered final and complete version of record. Fellows and trainees of the College of Ophthalmologists of Hong Kong are advised to set up your login accounts in the website so that you can receive notifications for publication of new issue in future. We have applied to be indexed in the Directory of Open Access Journals. We look forward to your continuous support of our Journal on reviewing and submitting articles.

• Hong Kong Journal of Ophthalmology Best Original Article Award

  2016-01-01

  The Best Original Article Award is created to encourage submissions to the Hong Kong Journal of Ophthalmology (HKJO) by trainees and fellows of the College of Ophthalmologists of Hong Kong (COHK).

  Purpose

  To encourage submissions to the Hong Kong Journal of Ophthalmology (HKJO) by trainees and fellows of the College of Ophthalmologists of Hong Kong (COHK).

  Awards and Prizes

  Two awards will be given out every year. Each awardee will be given a $2000 cash prize (HK dollars), which is supported generously by the Timothy KC Liu Fund.

  Eligibility

  • One award is open to all fellows and members of the College; another one is limited to trainees only.
  • Applicants must be a paid-up member or fellow of COHK at the time of submission.
  • Trainees refer to those who have not been conferred the title ‘FCOphthHK’ at the time of submission.
  • Only the first author of the article will be eligible for the prize.
  • Original articles (including, but not limited to, prospective or retrospective clinical studies, observational studies, epidemiological studies, basic science studies, meta-analysis, etc) published in the HKJO during the year will automatically enter the selection process.
  • Case reports (with case number <3), review articles and letters to the editor will not be eligible for this award.
  • Submissions pending acceptance will not be eligible for the award.
  • Entries will be based on the article as a unit, but not the author. Because of this, it is possible that one single author wins both awards, given that he/she is the first author of the two best original articles published that year (but he/she has to be a trainee in this case as one award is open for trainees only).

  • Editor-in-Chief
  • One representative from the University of Hong Kong
  • One representative from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and
  • President of the College
