The Outcome of Manuscripts Submitted to the American Journal of Ophthalmology Between 2002 and 2003

Impact factor of the subsequent journal after rejection by or withdrawal from the American Journal of Ophthalmology (AJO) and the time from withdrawal or rejection to publication in the subsequent journal. The AJO impact factor for 2004 of 2.33 is represented by a solid line. An estimated regression line is represented by a dashed line.

Impact factor of the subsequent journal after rejection by or withdrawal from the American Journal of Ophthalmology (AJO) and region of origin of the AJO submitted manuscript. In this boxplot, the horizontal white line in the center of the box represents the sample median. The lower and upper parts of the box represent the sample first and third quartile, respectively. The lower and upper bars represent the sample minimum and maximum, respectively. *Note: Africa had only two manuscripts accepted in an alternate publication and thus two impact factors, which are represented by the Top and Bottom of the box. The AJO impact factor for 2004 of 2.33 is represented by the horizontal line.

Impact factor of the subsequent journal after rejection by or withdrawal from the American Journal of Ophthalmology (AJO) by the article type (Full-Length Article or Brief Report) of the AJO submitted manuscript. The overall AJO impact factor for 2004 of 2.33 is represented by the vertical line. Note that the impact factor for Full-Length Articles and Brief Reports in the AJO in 2004 was 3.2 and 1.2, respectively.

Impact factor of the subsequent journal after rejection by or withdrawal from the American Journal of Ophthalmology (AJO) and the immediacy index of the subsequent journal. The lines represent the AJO impact factor and immediacy index for 2004 of 2.33 and 0.286, respectively.
