Scope

In the light of the spectrum bottleneck at both network access and backhaul levels, the time has come to seriously consider the upper parts of the electromagnetic spectrum for wireless communications. By doing so, we move into the optical band which includes infrared, visible and ultraviolet sub-bands. Offering significant technical and operational advantages, optical wireless communication (OWC) can be, in some applications, a powerful alternative to and, in others, complementary to existing radio frequency wireless systems and fiber optic systems. Despite the recent surge of interest in OWC, particularly its sub-disciplines visible light communication (VLC) and free space optical communication (FSO), this area is relatively less explored and extensive research efforts are further required to harness the enormous potential of the optical spectrum for communication applications. International Workshop on Optical Wireless Communication (IWOW) was launched by the EU COST Action OPTICWISE and provides a global scientific forum to present state-of-the-art research results and exchange ideas on a wide range of OWC topics. In the fourth Edition of IWOW, we invite you to the beautiful city of Istanbul. This two day workshop will feature a comprehensive technical programme with oral and poster presentations as well as keynote speeches from world renowned researchers. In conjunction with IWOW, OPTICWISE Training School will be also held for graduate students and early stage researchers. We welcome original research papers in all areas of OWC spanning from characterization of diverse propagation media to modelling, design and development of devices, components, algorithms, protocols and systems.

SJR

The SJR is a size-independent prestige indicator that ranks journals by their 'average prestige per article'. It is based on the idea that 'all citations are not created equal'. SJR is a measure of scientific influence of journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from It measures the scientific influence of the average article in a journal, it expresses how central to the global scientific discussion an average article of the journal is.

Citations per document

This indicator counts the number of citations received by documents from a journal and divides them by the total number of documents published in that journal. The chart shows the evolution of the average number of times documents published in a journal in the past two, three and four years have been cited in the current year. The two years line is equivalent to journal impact factor ™ (Thomson Reuters) metric.

Total Cites

Self-Cites

Evolution of the total number of citations and journal's self-citations received by a journal's published documents during the three previous years.
Journal Self-citation is defined as the number of citation from a journal citing article to articles published by the same journal.

External Cites per Doc

Cites per Doc

Evolution of the number of total citation per document and external citation per document (i.e. journal self-citations removed) received by a journal's published documents during the three previous years. External citations are calculated by subtracting the number of self-citations from the total number of citations received by the journal’s documents.

% International Collaboration

International Collaboration accounts for the articles that have been produced by researchers from several countries. The chart shows the ratio of a journal's documents signed by researchers from more than one country; that is including more than one country address.

Citable documents

Non-citable documents

Not every article in a journal is considered primary research and therefore "citable", this chart shows the ratio of a journal's articles including substantial research (research articles, conference papers and reviews) in three year windows vs. those documents other than research articles, reviews and conference papers.
