About this journal

Aims and scope

International Journal of Optomechatronics publishes multidisciplinary research across optics, mechanics, fluidics and electronics.

Featured topics include, but are not limited to:
  • Adaptive optics
  • Optomechanics
  • Machine vision, tracking and control
  • Image-based micro-/nano- manipulation
  • Control engineering for optomechatronics
  • Optical metrology
  • Optical sensors and light-based actuators
  • Optomechatronics for astronomy and space applications
  • Optical-based inspection and fault diagnosis
  • Micro-/nano- optomechanical systems (MOEMS)
  • Optofluidics
  • Optical assembly and packaging
  • Optical and vision-based manufacturing, processes, monitoring, and control
  • Optomechatronics systems in bio- and medical technologies (such as optical coherence tomography (OCT) systems or endoscopes and optical based medical instruments)

Original research papers and technical notes will be considered. Review and invited papers are regularly solicited by the Editor and Editorial Board.

The journal operates a single anonymized peer review policy. All accepted articles will be made freely and permanently available online through  gold open access publication.

Open access

International Journal of Optomechatronics is an open access journal and only publishes open access articles. Publishing open access means that your article will be free to access online immediately on publication, increasing the visibility, readership, and impact of your research.

Why choose open access?

  1. Increase the discoverability and readership of your article
  2. Make an impact and reach new readers, not just those with easy access to a research library
  3. Freely share your work with anyone, anywhere
  4. Comply with funding mandates and meet the requirements of your institution, employer or funder
  5. Rigorous peer review for every open access article

Article Publishing Charges (APC)

To publish open access in this journal you may be asked to pay an Article Publishing Charge (APC). You may be able to publish your article at no cost to yourself or with a reduced APC if your institution or research funder has an open access agreement or membership with Taylor & Francis. Discounts and waivers may also be available for researchers in selected countries when publishing in open access journals.

Use our APC finder to calculate your article publishing charge
