Photonics News</em> (OPN) offers articles of interest to a broad range of professionals in optics. OPN’s tone is less technical than scientific journals; its style and format are those of a magazine. Our goal is to make the various facets of this diverse field accessible to those who are not specialists in a particular area. Our feature articles follow a tutorial approach, providing an overview of a topic and an assessment of current and future trends.</p> <p>OPN solicits most of its articles. However, we welcome suggestions and will sometimes accept unsolicited manuscripts. If you have an idea for an article, please email a summary or outline to OPN at <a href="mailto:opn@optica.org">opn@optica.org</a>.</p> <p>Following are some guidelines that we ask authors to follow when submitting articles to OPN:</p> <h2><a id="manuscript" name="manuscript"></a>Manuscript Length & Format</h2> <p>Most articles run eight magazine pages (2,500 to 3,000 words), with five graphic elements, including a striking, high-resolution image to accompany the opening of the article (and possibly our cover).</p> <p>We encourage authors to think creatively about how to present information in ways that are engaging and easily accessible to readers. Magazine readers often do not read long articles from start to finish in one sitting; instead, they prefer to have multiple points of access, so that they can revisit a story several times to glean relevant information. Consider using sidebars, bulleted lists, tables and boxes containing related information and resources. Also, please think about how your story could be enhanced in our online edition through the use of multimedia files or supplementary information.</p> <p>Please submit articles as Microsoft Word documents. Graphics should be sent as separate files. (See sections on "Visuals & Illustrations" for more information.) In addition to a working title, please provide a brief, two- to three-sentence "abstract" that draws readers into your article. Please provide the full name, title and affiliation of each author.</p> <h2><a id="references" name="references"></a>References & Resources</h2> <p>Since OPN is not a peer-reviewed journal, we do not include formal endnotes in our articles. Rather, we list relevant resources in a separate text box titled "References and Resources." Please suggest 2-5 book titles, journal or magazine articles and/or Web links that can serve as further reading for individuals who are interested in learning more about a topic. Please restrict references to 10 or fewer.</p> <h2><a id="visuals" name="visuals"></a>Visuals & Illustrations</h2> <p>The total number of visuals and tables should be limited to five. Please submit images as JPEG, EPS or TIFF (TIF) files with a resolution NO LESS than 300 dpi. OPN reserves the right not to print images submitted below 300 dpi. If you have any questions regarding acceptable formats, please e-mail <a href="mailto:opn@optia.org">opn@optica.org</a>. Figure captions should define all abbreviations used in the figure. We welcome the submission of multimedia files that could be used on our website.</p> <p>Each table should have a title. The material contained in tables should be understandable without reference to the text.</p> <p>All figures, tables and photographs should be numbered in sequence, labeled with the author’s name, and accompanied by a caption.</p> <p>We encourage authors to submit a striking, high-resolution photo for the opening page of the article that could be considered for the magazine’s cover. We prefer images that showcase the people behind the science rather than buildings or equipment. If possible, please send visuals of scientists at work instead of posed, static shots.</p> <h2><a id="deadlines" name="deadlines"></a>Deadlines & Galleys</h2> <p>All manuscripts are due three months prior to publication. If your article is targeted for the April issue, for instance, it is due at the beginning of January. Magazine deadlines are critical and authors should contact the editor immediately if a problem arises.</p> <p>Authors receive a set of galleys approximately three to four weeks before publication. Corrections must be returned to OPN within the specified timeframe, usually two business days. The editor reserves the right to make non-substantive changes to articles after galleys are returned, to accommodate layout and format.</p> <p><a name="yearinoptics"> </a></p> <div> <h2>Year in Optics</h2> <p>Each year, the December issue of <em>Optics & Photonics News</em>—the monthly magazine of <a href="https://www.optica.org/">Optica</a>—highlights the most exciting optics research to emerge in the preceding 12 months.</p> <p>We encourage anyone who has recently conducted notable peer-reviewed research to send us a brief summary of their work to be considered for publication in the issue. To learn more, please have a look at the contest submission guidelines at <a href="/year-in-optics">our Year in Optics information page</a>.</p> </div> <h2><strong><a id="reprints" name="reprints"></a>Reprints</strong></h2> <p>OPN offers high-quality, custom reprints to fit your marketing or educational needs. Reprints are available from two pages and up, in increments of 100, and may be ordered as black-and-white or four-color.
