OSA Publishing dominates the Optics category in latest Journal Citation Reports
June 15, 2016WASHINGTON - The Optical Society (OSA) announced today 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.
Additional Journal Citation Reports Highlights:
- Photonics Research debuts with an IF of 3.179. This Journal is co-published with Chinese Laser Press of the Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics.
- Nine OSA-owned and co-published journals are among the top 25 titles ranked by IF.
- Three OSA Publishing journals achieved a top five category ranking by total citations: Optics Express, Optics Letters and Applied Optics.
- Three OSA Publishing journals rank among the top 10 in the category by Immediacy Index (measures how quickly the average article is cited): Advances in Optics & Photonics, Optica and Photonics Research.
- Optics Express is ranked number one in the Optics category by Eigenfactor; joined by two more journals in the top five: Optics Letters and Applied Optics.

#537 Science Journalism, Hold the Hype
Everyone's seen a piece of science getting over-exaggerated in the media. Most people would be quick to blame journalists and big media for getting in wrong. In many cases, you'd be right. But there's other sources of hype in science journalism. and one of them can be found in the humble, and little-known press release. We're talking with Chris Chambers about doing science about science journalism, and where the hype creeps in.
