Glaucoma Publications & Abstracts
Scientific studies made possible by Glaucoma Research Foundation are changing the way doctors treat glaucoma — and speeding the search for a cure. Sharing these studies across the bioscience community ensures that today’s discoveries inspire and inform future research.
Video: How Do We Share Discoveries?
Drs. Monica Vetter and Nick Marsh-Armstrong — members of the first pioneering Catalyst for a Cure consortium — explain how their collaborative findings influence others in the quest for glaucoma innovation.
Monica Vetter, PhD: Citation is a very technical term, but it simply means that other scientists have read your work and they’ve thought about your work, and then they use that to inform what they’re going to do. And if they cite it, if they reference your work in their published papers, it means that they feel that the paper that they’re citing was an important concept that guided their subsequent experiments. And so as Dr. Horner said, it’s a barometer of what kind of influence the work is having in the field. Does it actually lead people to have new insights that then launches them in new directions and helps drive the field forward?
Nicholas Marsh-Armstrong, PhD: Having our work cited so often is evidence to us that we’re having a big impact, and I think that we know that already. So I think having our work cited so often by other scientists, many of whom we respect to a high degree, is just evidence to us that we’re having a big impact in driving the future of glaucoma research. I think that the Glaucoma Research Foundation’s vision in making this collaborative effort that we call “The Catalyst For a Cure” will have a long lasting impact on how glaucoma is studied in the future and how it will be treated in the future. So I think it was money well invested.

“Having our work cited so often by other scientists, many of whom we respect to a high degree, is just evidence to us that we’re having a big impact in driving the future of glaucoma research.”
How do the results of glaucoma research conducted in the laboratory make their way into the world? Scientists publish their findings, making them accessible to other researchers, who build on them in their own work.
This exchange of knowledge starts with peer review, a scholarly process used in the publication of scientific research manuscripts. Peer review ensures high quality standards by subjecting an author’s work or ideas to the scrutiny of experts in the field. Each reviewer returns an evaluation of the manuscript, including suggestions for improvement, to an editor or other intermediary. Once research is refined and published, other scientists who take inspiration from the work will reference the study with a citation in their scientific report.
Studies supported by Glaucoma Research Foundation have been influential in and beyond the field of ophthalmology. Findings from our first Catalyst for a Cure initiative — the endeavor that redefined glaucoma as a neurological disorder, not just a disease of the eye — have been cited by other scientists more than 8,000 times. Each citation is a vote of confidence that our community’s investments in collaborative research are advancing the quest for a glaucoma cure and shaping the future of health care overall.
