<p style="margin-left: 0.5in;">The <a href="http://www.osa.org/" target="_blank">Optical
Society</a> recently launched the Interactive Science Publishing (ISP) system.
The system allows publication authors to create manuscripts that contain image
data collections, associated metadata, and links to interactive visualizations.
Readers can review these open-access publications and click on links that launch
an ISP client that downloads the image data and reproduces the visualizations
and displays presented in the figures of the paper. Readers can also browse and
explore these data collections on the ISP MIDAS server. Providing these tools
allows readers to perform a more thorough review of publication results and
helps authors disseminate important image data collections.</p>

access instructions and a link to the first ISP papers, can be obtained at <span style="color: rgb(0, 112, 192);"><a href="http://www.opticsinfobase.org/isp.cfm" target="_blank"><span style="color: rgb(0, 112, 192);">http://www.opticsinfobase.org/isp.cfm</span></a></span>. </p>
