BELLINGHAM, WA--(Marketwire - July 9, 2010) - Authors of papers accepted for the prestigious Journal of Biomedical Optics (JBO) may choose from an expanded suite of open access options, now including delayed open access publication, SPIE has announced.
The latest SPIE journal open access option provides JBO authors who pay standard voluntary page charges in full with open access for their papers in the SPIE Digital Library beginning one year after publication.
Since September 2009, JBO articles identified as being funded by the U.S. National Institutes of Health are deposited in the open access PubMed Central collection where the full text is available after one year. The service is provided by SPIE at no cost to the author.
SPIE publishes two fully open access journals: SPIE Letters virtual journal, a collection of letters from all SPIE research journals, in publication since 2006 with voluntary page charges, and SPIE Reviews, which launched this year and asks no author payments. Both open access journals are published online at no cost to authors.
Authors publishing in any of the other seven SPIE journals may ensure immediate open access publication of their papers by paying a per paper fee of $1,500.

Optical Engineering, Ron Driggers
Journal of Biomedical Optics, Lihong Wang
Journal of Electronic Imaging, Jan Allebach through December 2010; Gaurav Sharma effective January 2011 (co-published with IS&T)
Journal of Micro/Nanolithography, MEMS, and MOEMS (JM3), Burn Lin
