Manuscript Review for Conference Proceedings


Chairs also act as Proceedings Editors and work with their designated SPIE Staff Proceedings Coordinator to collect all delinquent manuscripts and resolve any publications issues

  • An SPIE Staff Proceedings Coordinator will be assigned to your conference once volume numbers are assigned before the Advance program goes to print
  • Conference chairs are expected to make certain that each manuscript is reviewed by one or more committee members, a session chair, or by her/himself.
  • Manuscripts are accessible to assigned reviewers through MySPIE.org
