Objective: To evaluate the current status of OA Scopus-indexed journals of ophthalmology regarding quality and volume. Design: A Cross-Sectional Study. Setting: University of Jordan Hospital, Amman, Jordan. Method: Active journals indexed by Scopus in 2017 were investigated. Data were gathered and filtered into OA or non-OA ophthalmology journals. Eight variables were adopted to compare the quality of the included journals namely: CiteScore, CiteScore Percentile, Citation Count, Scholarly Output, Percent Cited, SCImago Journal Rank (SJR), Source Normalized Impact per Paper (SNIP), and SCImago Quartiles. Result: One hundred eight ophthalmology journals were indexed by Scopus in 2017. OA journals were 29 (26.9%). We found that OA journals did not have higher impact indices, and the only index that differs between OA and non-OA ophthalmology journals was SJR. Conclusion: The increasing demand of OA publishing has not yet been linked to improved quality and citation advantage. Bahrain Med Bull 2020; 42 (1): 44 - 46 Open-Access (OA) is a publishing model where research output upon comparing journal indices is an important factor due to is made available to scholars free of charge and barriers1.
