This paper presents overall results of two years experience in executing tasks defined in article "Quo Vadis" written by the Editor-in-Chief of the journal of Computer Optics, Corresponding Member of RAS V.A. Soifer (Computer Optics 2014; Volume 38, Issue 4). The main bibliometric indicators of the journal in SCOPUS citation database are compared with similar metrics of some most relevant periodicals. The paper declares some important events to be held in 2017.

The author analyzes the main tools for promoting scientific articles that are used most often by the editorial board of the Computer Optics journal to promote the publication in international scientometric databases and popularize the ideas of science. It is noted that the use of these tools allowed the publication to increase significantly the “portfolio” of articles, the number of articles published per year, including the articles in English, increase significantly the citation of journal articles in other scientific publications, as well as expand the geographical spread of authors.
