Light Publishing Group (LPG) is the publisher of the internationally recognised journals Light: Science & Applications, eLight, and Light: Advanced Manufacturing, together with seven other high-impact titles that extend its scope beyond optics into advanced manufacturing and interdisciplinary science.

Supported by a global network of full-time and associate editors, thousands of editorial board members, and tens of thousands of authors and reviewers, LPG’s journals serve millions of readers across optics, photonics, mechanics, materials science, condensed matter physics, and biomedical sciences. Over the years, the organisation has also welcomed tens of thousands of researchers and visitors to its offices.

Beyond academic publishing, LPG has established itself as a catalyst for scientific innovation and international collaboration. Through initiatives such as the Light Conferences and Light Online Talks, it provides leading platforms for global scientific exchange. Programmes including the Top Ten Social Influence Events in Chinese Optics and Light Popular Science strengthen the connection between scientific research and society, while Rising Stars of Light and the Light Doctoral League support the development of the next generation of researchers. The Light Story Collection and Light Salon preserve and celebrate the history and culture of science, and the Seed of Light scholarship programme helps nurture future scientific talent.

As a Gold Partner of UNESCO’s International Day of Light and a participant in the International Year of Light, LPG has established a network of 25 offices worldwide, reinforcing its commitment to international scientific collaboration. In little more than a decade, Light Publishing Group has grown into a globally respected scientific publisher and community builder. Looking ahead, it remains dedicated to advancing excellence in scientific publishing, fostering international collaboration, and contributing to scientific and technological progress for the benefit of future generations.
