1068-5200 / 1095-9912
Aims and Scope
Innovations in optical fiber technology are revolutionizing world communications. Newly developed fiber amplifiers allow for direct transmission of high-speed signals over transcontinental distances without the need for electronic regeneration. Optical fibers find new applications in data processing. The impact of fiber materials, devices, and systems on communications in the coming decades will create an abundance of primary literature and the need for up-to-date reviews.

Optical Fiber Technology: Materials, Devices, and Systems is a new cutting-edge journal designed to fill a need in this rapidly evolving field for speedy publication of regular length papers. Both theoretical and experimental papers on fiber materials, devices, and system performance evaluation and measurements are eligible, with emphasis on practical applications.

Verified Reviews

It seems that Elsevier journals are relatively slow. It takes ten days for the status to change to "with editor" after submission, then it stays "with editor" for a week, followed by "under review" for a little over two months. After two reviewers' recommendations, one suggesting acceptance and the other suggesting major revisions, the editor finally rejected the submission, taking a total of three months. Considering this speed, if accepted, it would probably take at least five months.

During the first review, it took two months, during which I wrote one reminder letter.
During the second review, it took one month, during which I wrote another reminder letter.
For the final minor revision, I made the changes in the afternoon and submitted them back. I received them at 4 am the next morning.
