The unique value of Proceedings of SPIE

Presenting and publishing your research in Proceedings of SPIE has multiple professional and business benefits. Read The Value of Proceedings white paper for a comprehensive discussion.

Proceedings of SPIE are uniquely valuable as they are used by researchers worldwide, and lead in patent cites among optics and photonics collections. They frequently rank among the 50 most used serials, out of 50,000 analyzed by Ex Libris. If it is ready for journal publication, your proceedings paper can be submitted with minimal or no revision for consideration in the relevant SPIE journal.
