Today The Optical Society now Optica started a new chapter as Optica. I am proud to support this organisation on their important day and participate in the Faces of Optica campaign. Being recognized in a team of people who inspire me in my work – thank you, you made my week!

Optica Publishing Group has a new look! Explore our newly designed website, opg.optica.org. With our new name and website, we’ve optimized the user experience with a focus on accessibility, usability, and discoverability of the same high-quality content. #OpticaPubsGroup

Optica events are #diverse & #inclusive as evidenced by the 90K people from 115 countries who participated in our meetings last year. To further connect our global community, registration for members residing in emerging economies will be waived in 2022. optica.org/meetings

Meet #volunteer @senelra Chair, OPN Editorial Advisory Committee at Optica, formerly OSA, the society advancing #optics & #photonics worldwide & learn about our new brand in “The Story of Optica” article in our award-winning member magazine opnmagazine - ow.ly/TDQp50Gd7ke

We were so lucky to have Jane Simmons as the Editor-in-Chief for JOCN. She was incredibly dedicated to & passionate about the Journal and ensured that all articles published were of the highest quality possible. The optical networking community has indeed lost 1 of its giants.

A third of retractions are due to Accidental republication (36.76%) - come on !!!! how can this happen? onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10… Free for ALPSP SSP members

Today we celebrate and thank our #WomenEditors. Our publishing program's success depends on the interdisciplinary, global exchange of knowledge that is inclusive, seeks contributions from all sources, and is based solely on excellence. ow.ly/jNy250HSLt4 #WomenInScience

As part of our commitment to inclusivity, we celebrate all women authors, editors & reviewers in #optics and #photonics. Your contributions are vital to the field, to our community and to the integrity of our publishing program. #IWD2022

Top-20 2021 Impact Factor for Optics Journals Several journals I've barely heard of. I think the system is now being gamed sufficiently that IF may no longer be an indicator of paper quality in a journal.

We can only change this if we change the way we publish, hire, and promote scientists. I have seen hiring and promotions committees acknowledge that these metrics are flawed (IF, H-index) so I'm hopeful that we're moving in the right direction. Best to look at the science.

#FiO2022 Attendees - We hope to see you tomorrow, Monday 17 October, 10:00 - 11:00 ET at our Meet the Editors session. Come with questions, grab a donut, and join the conversation! In the #Optica Member Lounge in the Galleria frontiersinoptics.com/home/special-e…

Delighted to be working with JISC and IReL!

We are a long supporter of OA. 25 years ago we launched #OPG_OpEx, the first OA physics journal. Now half of the journals we publish & more than 55% of our content is OA. With new read & publish agreements in UK and Ireland, we expect that % to grow in 2023. #OpenAccessWeek2022.

Optica Publishing Group is pleased to announce the launch of Optica Open, a new #preprint server dedicated to advancing #optics and #photonics research around the globe. Learn more at ow.ly/agpl50MsVNK or visit ow.ly/A8Ki50MsW0j

Our mission is to support the #optics and #photonics community. Optica Open is another way for us to do just that. By reflecting discoveries from arXiv as well as those submitted directly, we hope to provide the community with the largest corpus of #preprints in the field.

For #OFC23 attendees: "The Journal Review Process: All You Need to Know!" is happening now in Room 14B until 15:30 on Monday, 6 March 2023. Thanks to Senior Publisher Kelly Cohen for sharing insights into scientific journal peer review.

Delighted to share new details about Optica Quantum (#OPG_OpticaQ). See the new Deputy Editors and a list of topic categories to be covered by the Journal. Submissions open in June. ow.ly/yv9N50Om0xc

Thanks so much for supporting Optica Open, Susana. We’re delighted to be able support our community with the only preprint server dedicated to optics and photonics.
