Contracted Publishing Services

Take advantage of SPIE's publishing experience and expertise by contracting with SPIE to publish the proceedings for your conference.

SPIE contracted publishing services include:

• processing manuscripts for publication by volume in print or on CD-ROM, and
• publishing each manuscript in the SPIE Digital Library, and
• online manuscript submission service (or you collect the manuscripts and send them to us on paper or on disk).

You'll receive:

• attendee copies of the proceedings at a substantially below-list price
• two complimentary copies
• either pre-conference or post-conference publication, depending on your needs
• listing of your event in our online events calendar, when SPIE is involved as a cooperating organization or a cosponsor.

As part of SPIE's publications catalog, your proceedings will be:

• included in the web-based SPIE Digital Library, providing worldwide exposure and access
• indexed in major scientific and engineering databases as appropriate, including INSPEC, Ei Compendex, Chemical Abstracts, International Aerospace Abstracts, The Smithsonian/NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS), ISI's Index to Scientific and Technical Proceedings, and others
• advertised in our Publications catalogs, which are mailed several times each year to more than 40,000 libraries and individuals
• advertised electronically on SPIE.org and through SPIE's free book alerting service, New Titles Update
• included in our SPIE online publications catalog
• marketed to targeted audiences at SPIE events and related conferences
• read, cited in research and patent literature, and respected.

Contact SPIE at least six months before your conference (12 months for pre-conference proceedings) to ensure adequate time to advertise your meeting, to provide information to authors regarding manuscript preparation, and to allow for timely publication.
