The Optical Society (OSA) has announced that OSA Publishing remains the market leader in the field of optics and photonics. Its portfolio of 17 prestigious subscription-based and open access titles received the most citations (40% of the total) across the 90 titles in the Optics category in the 2015 Journal Citation Reports® (Thomson Reuters, 2016). Additionally, OSA Publishing's wholly-owned and co-published journals produced the largest number of articles published (35% of the total) of any other publisher in the category.
Optica, OSA Publishing's journal for high-impact research has been added to this year's Journal Citation Report with a partial Impact Factor (IF) score of 5.205. This number is based on citations to articles published in its first six issues rather than a full two-year span as is usual. Optica is a highly selective open-access journal that covers the entire spectrum of optics and photonics.
Advances in Optics and Photonics continues to grow in citations and has received an increased IF of 12.368, up 22% from 2015. Ranked third in the category, this prestigious journal provides comprehensive review articles and tutorials appropriate for students, researchers, faculty, business professionals and engineers across all areas of optics and photonics from fundamental science to engineering applications, including materials, devices and systems.
