Technical articles are one of the most popular and important features of our magazines, Photonics Spectra, BioPhotonics and EuroPhotonics, and a great way to share your company’s technical expertise with our readers.
To tell us about a technical feature you would like to contribute, please send a 100-word abstract on the topic you would like to cover to our managing editor, Laura Marshall ([email protected]). She will let you know where it may best fit into our editorial calendar. Of course, if you already have an article written, you may send that for review.
Technical features run about 1800 words, and we need 4 to 5 high-resolution images (300 dpi or better) along with the article for publication. (Images should be sent as separate files, not embedded in the article document – but captions should be listed at the end of the article document.)
Be sure to focus your feature on technology issues and applications rather than on product promotion. It is important that the article discuss the technical issues at hand (challenges, traditional solutions, new solutions), without overmention of specific products.
Please send only new, unpublished articles for our review. Articles must be exclusive to us, as we do not reprint articles from other sources.
If your article is selected for publication, we will give you the final deadline for all text and images at that time. Generally, the deadline falls about two and a half months before the issue date (so an article for the December issue would be due around Sept. 15).
Upon publication, we will happily provide you with a PDF of the final layout for posting on your website, reprinting for clients, etc.
