SPIE journals are published on an e-first basis. Individual articles are published online in the SPIE Digital Library as soon as they are approved for final publication.
Print volumes of the SPIE journals are mailed out after the online issue is closed to publication. The cover date of the issue now reflects the period during which the papers in that issue appear online, rather than the date of print distribution.
The following table shows the mailing dates for the journal issues published in the last 12 months.
