SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics, has announced the recognition of its two newest journals by the scholarly publication indexing service Web of Science.
Launched in 2020, Advanced Photonics is a highly selective open access journal publishing innovative research in all areas of optics and photonics. The journal, co-published by SPIE and Chinese Laser Press, has been added to the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) index. Inclusion in the index means that the journal can expect to receive an impact factor in 2022. This rapid inclusion in the SCIE database is an indicator of the high-quality content published in the journal. Papers published in 2019 averaged 12 citations per paper.
At the same time, the Journal of Optical Microsystems (JOM) was added to the Web of Science’s Emerging Science Citation Index (ESCI). Launched in January 2021, its early inclusion, after just one issue of publication, is a vote of confidence and a positive sign for the new journal, which publishes cutting-edge research in all aspects of optical and photonic microsystems, from materials and fabrication of micro-optical and photonic components, through assembly and packaging, to systems and applications.
Both Advanced Photonics and the Journal of Optical Microsystems are Gold Open Access journals. SPIE will be waiving all open access fees on submissions through 2021.
