EVER WONDER WHICH OSA JOURNAL WILL BEST MEET YOUR NEEDS? With OSA’s broad collection of optics and photonics journals, we understand that it may not always be clear which journal is most appropriate for your manuscript. Below are the scopes and acceptance criteria for OSA’s high-quality, peer reviewed journals.
