The Journal Review Process: All You Need to Know!

Wednesday, 27 March, 12:30 – 14:00

Room 6A

Journal publications play a critical role in our industry. They serve as repositories where new results, ideas, and demonstrations are reported, providing a permanent resource for others in their research and design endeavors. This event offers a unique behind-the-scenes look into the journal publications process, allowing attendees to pose questions and interact with Editors and Reviewers from some of the highest-impact factor journals in optical communications and networking. The focus will be on understanding what happens once a new research paper is submitted to an IEEE or Optica journal.

The event will feature informative presentations and roundtable discussions hosted by individuals intimately involved in the review and publication process, eager to answer questions and engage with the audience. Importantly, for those interested in further insights, the event will guide participants in becoming involved in the review process for the most prestigious journal publications in the field of optical telecommunications.

A roundtable discussion with Editors from JLT, PTL, and JOCN will follow the presentations.

Boxed lunches will be provided. RSVP to secure your spot here!
