This publication model gets the author's work out to the community faster and provides researchers all over the world with immediate access on publication.

Proceedings of SPIE are among the most cited references in the patent literature, and are indexed in numerous online databases including INSPEC, Ei Compendex, Physics Abstracts, Chemical Abstracts, SPIN, International Aerospace Abstracts, ISI Index to Scientific and Technical Proceedings, and the Smithsonian/NASA Astrophysics Data System Abstract Service (ADS).

With over 270,000 papers covering 1990 to the present, the SPIE Digital Library is the world's largest collection of research papers in optics and photonics. Approximately 17,000 new papers added annually are written by engineers and scientists doing advanced R&D in areas such as micro- and nano-technologies, communications and information technologies, defense and industrial sensing, lasers and electro-optics, biomedical optics, optical system design, and electronic imaging.

In addition to proceedings of SPIE-sponsored conferences, SPIE provides publishing services to other organizations that hold conferences relevant to optics and photonics. Click here for more information about SPIE Proceedings Publishing Services.
