Q: Is American Јοurnal of Optics and Photonics reliable?
I was invited by American Јοurnal of Optics and Photonics (e-ІЅЅN: 2330-8494) to submit a manuscript of the content which I presented at Photonics West 2022 the other day. In searching, this journal was not hit on DOAJ or Web of Science, but some interesting papers were hit on Google Scholar. I can't judge whether this journal is good or bad, so would you let me know your opinion?
