Scope of Coverage
JON is an online-only, peer-reviewed journal covering all aspects of optical networking including network architectures, performance, protocols, and algorithms as well as networking aspects of devices and components, the physical layer, and cross-layer interactions. JON is now covered in the ISI databases (see ISI Master Journal List).
We welcome submissions on next-generation enabling systems and devices that are anticipated to have an impact on optical networking practice.
High-quality technical papers are openly invited for the following topics:
- Circuit- and packet-switched all-optical and electro-optic networks
- Optical network architectures, algorithms, performance, and management
- Network aspects of terrestrial, undersea, free-space optical, satellite, wireless, and cable networks including their architecture, control, design, and performance
- Protection and restoration mechanisms, architectures, and performance
- Wavelength routing, assignment, changing
- Scheduling and arbitration of optical networks
- Grooming architectures and algorithms
- Network security and reliability
- Signaling and routing algorithms
- Network devices, components, subsystems, and systems
- IP over Optical and Optical Ethernet architectures and performance
- Economic implications of Optical Network Architectures
- Optical data networks within and between computers

"Upcoming" versus "Current" Issues
The JON editors are committed not only to publishing the highest quality articles, but to doing so in the fastest possible manner through use of a novel publication feature. After an article has been fully accepted and formatted for publication, we will immediately publish it on our "Upcoming" page. In the first week of each month, all articles mounted on the "Upcoming" page will become fixed as that month's issue and archived, and new articles will then be added to a new "Upcoming" issue. This feature will not only ensure the fastest possible turn-around time for the authors, but also provide the industry with the fastest way to keep up on the latest research.
How to Submit an Article to JON
All submissions to the Journal of Optical Networking are done electronically through this site. Because submissions, review, editing and formatting are all done digitally, JON achieves one of the fastest times-to-publication of any optics publication. Papers are accepted in Word and TeX format, and we ask that all papers submitted to the journal be no more than 10 published pages.

Virtual Feature Issues
JON Virtual Features take advantage of the flexible publishing options inherent in an all-electronic journal.
Papers submitted to JON features will be reviewed and, on acceptance, be published on the JON Upcoming page and in the first available regular issue. At the same time, the papers will be added to a Virtual Features table of contents that expands until all eligible papers have been added.
