Could you please tell me if this journal can be distributed without any cost? Does choosing non-OA mean no cost involved? And at what stage can this choice be made?

Can I ask if this journal can be accepted without paying a publication fee and not being published as open access? Can I submit without spending any money?

Can I ask if this journal allows for non-payment of publication fees and non-OA acceptance?

Old-established optical journal with a high publication quality and a lot of solid theoretical work. The reviewers are also very professional, but for some reason, the impact factor has always been low. In my opinion, the quality of this journal is no less than that of a Q2 level journal.

The reviewer's level is quite high! The editor handled the issues very quickly.

Could you please clarify if the publication fee for JOSAB includes color graphics? Also, how many pages are included in the single-column manuscript submission and how many pages will the publication have after it is published?

How does JOSAB charge for submissions? If I don't choose color figures, how many pages will be allocated for single-column 13 pages in terms of publication?

May I ask where to check whether a specific invitation to review has been accepted or not?

Keep a record and submit it for review by the assigned editor the day after submission

The review process is so slow. It has been a month since the review process started. I have sent it to many people but no one has reviewed it yet. Currently, only one reviewer has agreed to review it, and even after that, I have not been able to find a second reviewer

Submitted in early August, 20 days were given for major revisions. After the revisions were made, it took one week for the manuscript to be accepted for re-review, which will take approximately two months. I was too busy during the revisions and kept postponing them, but if there were no urgent matters, I would finish them in a few days. Overall, the speed was pretty fast

The journal's level is average. I submitted a short article directly, which took two months. The quality of the reviewers is still online.

Brother, I'm the same. I'm exhausted from searching for a reviewer, but I finally found one. Still trying to find another reviewer.

It has been almost three months now, and I still haven't found a reviewer. Most articles of this journal are reviewed and accepted quite quickly, but it is surprisingly slow in my case.

9.14 Should it be online soon?
It's been over two months and still couldn't find any reviewers... Finally found two reviewers, one for minor revisions and one for major revisions. We worked tirelessly until we were bald, but finally, it was accepted.

It has been submitted for a month, but is still under review. The review deadline is clearly given, and I don’t know what to do if it exceeds.

The two reviewers asked a bunch of questions, and the editor Kurt Busch was very nice, giving the opportunity for overhaul.From submission to the final reception of less than two months, the speed is still quite fast.JOSA B has a good reputation. Personally, the actual quality of the journal is slightly higher than that of its IF.

must give editor Igor Smolyaninov a big praise! Although the review process has a bit of twists and turns, it is finally a minor repair plus another reviewer's opinion, the editor gave the overhaul, but the opinion stillBetter modified. After the modification, wait until one week, reply to the past in the afternoon, and the editor will receive it directly in less than four hours! Like!

OSA's journals are very fast, based on two points: 1 is the editor's review time is generally two weeks, the longest is 4 weeks; 2, the reviewer completes the review according to the agreement.If the reviewer does not follow the agreement, it will extend the cycle.I recently encountered one, and 6.6 agreed to review the manuscript. The agreement was completed at 6.20.But now it's 7.21, and the system or editor reminded me seven or eight times, but I still haven't reviewed it.Too irresponsible, don't agree to review the manuscript if you don't have time, and delay others.The editor is also patient, has not re-reviewed the drafter, but also drunk.It will take two months for the first trial and I hope to finish it quickly.

Submit the review within one week, give the review comments in three weeks, receive it five days after the revision, and generally see it in three months.Two of them have been selectd for very quickly.The review is very pertinent.The journals under OSA are very fast, the quality of the articles is also very good, and the theory and experiment are all possible. This journal is also an old-fashioned journal and worthy of recommendation!
