British Journal of Visual Impairment

The British Journal of Visual Impairment is an interdisciplinary peer-reviewed publication concerned with social research, policy and practice in relation to children and adults who have visual impairment. The Journal publishes articles on visual impairment relevant to education, health, welfare, employment and the application of technology. The journal has an international focus and seeks to publish empirical articles and scholarly comment on issues that aim to increase understanding of the potential barriers to learning and participation that may be experienced by individuals with visual impairment. BJVI is published three times a year and submissions relevant to the focus of the journal are welcomed under the following categories (contributors should indicate under which category they wish their submission to be considered): 1. Research article (3000-5000 words) (peer reviewed) Most research articles will be empirical submissions that are evidence based and data driven. They may also include scholarly articles such as reviews of research literature or contributions to theory. 2. Research report (1500-3000 words) (peer reviewed) Research reports would normally meet the criteria for research articles but their shorter length might reflect a narrower scope: for examples pilot studies/studies with a small number of participants, or summaries of research in progress. 3. Practice reports - 1500 words (to be reviewed at discretion of editors) Practice reports will include contributions from practitioners relating to innovative developments in areas such as teaching methods, curriculum development or provision. 4. Comment - 1000 words (to be reviewed at discretion of editors)

SJR

The SJR is a size-independent prestige indicator that ranks journals by their 'average prestige per article'. It is based on the idea that 'all citations are not created equal'. SJR is a measure of scientific influence of journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from It measures the scientific influence of the average article in a journal, it expresses how central to the global scientific discussion an average article of the journal is.

Citations per document

This indicator counts the number of citations received by documents from a journal and divides them by the total number of documents published in that journal. The chart shows the evolution of the average number of times documents published in a journal in the past two, three and four years have been cited in the current year. The two years line is equivalent to journal impact factor ™ (Thomson Reuters) metric.

Cites per Doc

Evolution of the number of total citation per document and external citation per document (i.e. journal self-citations removed) received by a journal's published documents during the three previous years. External citations are calculated by subtracting the number of self-citations from the total number of citations received by the journal’s documents.
