An Expert Talk was organised by Optometry and Vision Science, Amity Medical School on 11th June 2025. The event significantly contributed to improving research dissemination and fostering academic integrity in the optometric research community.
The webinar aimed to provide practical guidance to optometry researchers on navigating the scholarly publishing landscape by identifying credible journals, understanding indexing systems, and avoiding predatory publications. It served as a resource to enhance the visibility, credibility, and ethical standards of research in the field of optometry.
The session effectively bridged the knowledge gap in journal selection and ethical publishing practices among participants. Dr. Gopi Suresh Vankudre’s expert insights equipped attendees with strategies to evaluate peer-reviewed journals based on indexing, impact factor, and editorial quality.
