As an author considering submitting to Eye and Vision, I need to understand the journal's article processing charges (APCs) in USD, how their peer-review process works, and the typical time it takes to receive a first editorial decision after submission. Please provide these three pieces of information.
Navigate to eandv.biomedcentral.com. Locate the 'Submission to first editorial decision (median days)' in the 'Annual Journal Metrics' section on the homepage and note its value. Click on 'Submission Guidelines'. Click on 'Fees and funding' from the submission guidelines menu. Identify the standard Article Processing Charge (APC) in USD. Navigate back to the 'Submission Guidelines' page. Click on 'Peer-review policy' from the submission guidelines menu. Describe the journal's peer-review process, including its type and who knows whose identity.
State the standard Article Processing Charge (APC) for Eye and Vision as $2790.00. Accurately describe the journal's peer-review process as single-blind, specifying that reviewers are aware of the authors' names and affiliations, but reviewer reports are anonymous. State the median time from submission to first editorial decision as 7 days.
