In an editorial entitled "Status of Optical Engineering" that appeared in this space one year ago, I presented some publication information for 1986 and compared it with similar information from the previous year. Because I think that many readers of Optical Engineering may find such information of interest, decided to do it again this year. In the table below, the figures in the 1986 column are actual figures for that year, whereas those in the 1987 column are projections based on publication data available at the time this editorial was written.
