IEEE PHOTONICS J

ISSN / eISSN
1943-0655 / 1943-0647
Aims and Scope
Breakthroughs in the generation of light and in its control and utilization have given rise to the field of Photonics, a rapidly expanding area of science and technology with major technological and economic impact. Photonics integrates quantum electronics and optics to accelerate progress in the generation of novel photon sources and in their utilization in emerging applications at the micro and nano scales spanning from the far-infrared/THz to the x-ray region of the electromagnetic spectrum. IEEE Photonics Journal is an online-only journal dedicated to the rapid disclosure of top-quality peer-reviewed research at the forefront of all areas of photonics. Contributions addressing issues ranging from fundamental understanding to emerging technologies and applications are within the scope of the Journal. The Journal includes topics in: Photon sources from far infrared to X-rays, Photonics materials and engineered photonic structures, Integrated optics and optoelectronic, Ultrafast, attosecond, high field and short wavelength photonics, Biophotonics, including DNA photonics, Nanophotonics, Magnetophotonics, Fundamentals of light propagation and interaction; nonlinear effects, Optical data storage, Fiber optics and optical communications devices, systems, and technologies, Micro Opto Electro Mechanical Systems (MOEMS), Microwave photonics, Optical Sensors.

Verified Reviews

Initial submission in early November of the 22nd year, returned for major revisions in early December for three weeks. There were three reviewers: one rejected (1), one suggested minor revisions (2), and one had a neutral stance (3). In my personal opinion, the associate editor leaned towards major revisions, so the final decision was for major revisions. After the major revisions, it took half a month to receive the reviewers' comments. Reviewers 2 and 3 agreed to accept the revised version, but reviewer 1, who originally rejected the manuscript, raised a few additional questions regarding the other two reviewers' comments, after being satisfied with my responses to their questions. However, since the journal only accepts one round of revisions, the manuscript was rejected. The associate editor suggested making minor revisions based on reviewer 1's suggestions and resubmitting (without sending the revised version to the reviewers). The resubmitted version was accepted within a week. Personally, I feel that the journal values experimental results and innovative ideas. The journal has shown stable performance in recent years, but it is unclear why the upgrade in the journal's classification led to a lower ranking.
