Abstract

In this issue, we are pleased to introduce the new JOECSA editorial board. The board was selected following an elaborate process that took over one year. It included a call for expression of interest from the wider COECSA community, training of the new board
and updating of the submission and review systems. A key change in the operations of the journal is the digital migration onto an automated online journal management system. The new board works closely with the Eye Journal editorial board as part of the existing COECSA-RCOphth LINKS partnership. Below is a list of the board members.
