The aim of the open access Photoacoustics journal (PACS) is to publish original research and review contributions within the fast growing field of photoacoustics (optoacoustics) and thermoacoustics, which exploits optically and electromagnetically excited acoustical and thermal phenomena for visualization and characterization of a variety of materials and biological tissues, including living organisms. While some of the spectroscopic and photothermal applications have reached a mature state, many other research directions experience an explosive growth, in particular biomedical photoacoustics, which is currently considered the fastest growing bio-imaging modality. The wealth of investigated topics clearly indicates that this field has developed a broad range of tools for fundamental and applied research. The enormous recent progress is greatly supported by the advances in laser technologies, ultrasound detection approaches, development of inverse theory and fast reconstruction algorithms. This progress is also driven by a large number of unmet biological and medical needs that can be addressed by the unique contrast mechanisms available to photoacoustic (optoacoustic) methods. These include pre-clinical research and clinical imaging of vasculature, tissue and disease physiology, drug efficacy and treatment monitoring, optical anatomy and molecular imaging employing fluorochromes, chromophores and nanoparticles. Correspondingly applications span the entire range of biological and medical imaging including cancer, cardiovascular diseases, neuroimaging, ophthalmology or imaging in immunology, diabetes and obesity, cell trafficking application and a multitude of other biological functions. The multi-disciplinarily nature of photoacoustics and thermoacoustics is also evinced by the growing contribution from chemistry and nanotechnology where a multitude of novel contrast materials and agents have been constantly developed, from nanoparticles and organic dyes, to targeted agents and genetically expressed markers.

International Journal of Optics publishes papers on the nature of light, its properties and behaviours, and its interaction with matter. The journal considers both fundamental and highly applied studies, especially those that promise technological solutions for the next generation of systems and devices. As well as original research, International Journal of Optics also publishes focused review articles that examine the state of the art, identify emerging trends, and suggest future directions for developing fields.

Current Optics and Photonics is the full-open-access, peer-reviewed journal published in English by the Optical Society of Korea (OSK). Current Optics and Photonics is dedicated to publish papers reporting recent advances and state-of-the-art research and development results in all aspects of optical science and technology. Current Optics and Photonics is published bi-monthly with six issues a year (February, April, June, August, October, and December). Current Optics and Photonics considers original research articles, short communications, invited research articles, and invited review articles. Original contributions may be categorized into nine main topics: (1) Optical Science, (2) Optical Technology, (3) Digital Holography and Information Optics, (4) Quantum Electronics, (5) Photonics, (6) Biophotonics, (7) Displays, (8) Quantum Optics and Quantum Information, and (9) Lithography/Optical Materials. Current Optics and Photonics started in February 2017, maintaining the tradition of the Journal of the Optical Society of Korea (JOSK) that had been published as one of the official journals of the OSK since 1997.

The JP Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer publishes peer-reviewed articles in heat and mass transfer which enriches basic ideas in this field and provides applicable tools to its users. Articles both theoretical and experimental in nature covering different aspects in the area of heat and mass transfer such as heat transfer in phase change phenomena, machinery and welding operations, porous media and turbulence are considered. Priority is given to those which employ or generate fundamental techniques useful to promote applications in different disciplines of engineering, electronics, communication systems, environmental sciences and climatology. Because a combination of two or more different technologies in a single device may result into a significant development, the journal extends its scope to include papers with the utility value in electronics and communication system. In this spirit, we are devoting certain number of issues to ‘Mechanical Systems and ICT – Convergence’. Survey articles dealing with certain issues in the context of current developments in heat and mass transfer together with their applications in interdisciplinary topics are also entertained.
