The publication activities of INSA have the roots to the depth of Academys foundation in 1935 as being one of the key activities of the Academy. The activities encompass publication of three leading journals namely the Proceedings of the Indian National Science Academy , the Indian Journal of Pure and Applied Mathematics (IJPAM) and the Indian Journal of History of Science (IJHS). In addition, the Academy publishes its Year Book, Annual Report, INSA News, Compendium of Fellows and Biographical Memoirs of deceased Fellows from time to time, Special Publications and INSA Seminars/Symposia proceedings in a regular way. The Academy has constituted a Publication Advisory Board (PAB) for rendering valuable guidance for strengthening the publication activities.

Indian Journal of History of Science

ISSN 0019-5235

Published under the guidance of Indian National Commission for History of Science set up by the Academy since more than four decades now. The journal was first published in 1966 bianually. The articles started pouring in as the field got momentum and a lot of interest developed among the researchers working in various field of ancient, medieval and modern science in historical perspectives. It became an interesting forum for scientists, historians, sociologists, and philosophers for exchange of ideas on the evolution and characteristics of scientific concepts and technological advances. With increasing inflow of articles, the journal was made quarterly in 1984 and is being published in March, June, September, December every year. Besides research articles, the journal also publishes reports of relevant interest, book reviews, the supplements and important news articles as well.

Indian Journal of Pure and Applied Mathematics

ISSN 0019- 5588

The Indian Journal of Pure and Applied Mathematics (IJPAM) is published by the Indian National Science Academy (INSA). It is devoted to original research in all areas of Pure and Applied Mathematics, Statistics and other related areas. It enjoys good reputation and popularity at international level in terms of research papers and distribution worldwide. The academy has 600 Indian Subscriptions and 40 foreign subscriptions approximately. The journal is indexed in the Science Citation Index, Current Contents, Mathematical Reviews, INSPEC Science Abstracts (Part A), Zentralblatt für Mathematik and all the major abstracting services of the world. It has 12 reputed mathematicians from all over the world on its Editorial Board.

The Academy published Mathematics research articles initially in the Proceedings of INSA. But, considering the large influx of mathematical articles, the need for bringing out a separate journal in this field was felt. As a result of this the Indian Journal of Pure & Applied Mathematics (IJPAM) came into being in January 1970. The journal was quarterly in the beginning but, due to the tremendous growth in the number of articles to be published, it became a monthly publication from 1973. For various reasons, it was changed to a bimonthly from 2006. It brought out an excellent Platinum Jubilee Special Volume in 2010.

Starting 2010, the journal is being co-published with Springer (India) Pvt. Ltd., and is also available on Springerlink.com. This has resulted in the enhanced visibility of the journal. There is a steady increase in the subscription reflecting the growing popularity and utility of the journal. The ranking of the journal has also gone up.

The journal adopted the Online Manuscript Submission, Editorial processing, Review and Tracking with Editorial Manager through Springerlink in April 2010. This has made the processing of the papers fast.

Proceedings of the Indian National Science Academy

ISSN 0370- 0046

Initially, in the beginning of 1935, the Academy commissioned its journal, the Proceedings of the National Institute of Sciences of India for publishing articles from all branches of Science including Mathematics. As the number of papers accepted increased, it was difficult for them to be accommodated in a single volume, and hence the journal was bifurcated into two parts - Part A (Physical Sciences) and part B (Biological Sciences) from 1955.Later, as the name of the Academy was changed to Indian National Science Academy, the journal became Proceedings of the Indian National Science Academy in 1970 published in two parts. Six issues of each part were brought out in a calendar year. In 1997, a further change in the publication policy came forth and the Academy decided to shift orientation from January 1998 to publish review articles of contemporary scientific interest, evaluating advances and newer approaches in the field. The emphasis thus shifted from being vehicles of original research reports into ones of reviews, as well as of comprehensive summary reports on chosen topics. The size of the new version of Proceedings has been changed into Demi Quarto International A4 since January 1998. The Proceedings then concentrated in bringing out thematic issues on current scientific topics containing invited reviews both from India and abroad since 2001. However from the year 2006, the Academy brought out major changes in the Proceedings as the two parts have been merged into a single volume. Each issue of the Proceedings which is an inter-disciplinary journal covers areas under Physical, Biological, Applied Sciences and also Engineering. Four issues are brought out in the months of March, June, September and December each year. The Proceedings contains review papers, original research articles, short communications, commentaries, lateral thinking and emerging techniques etc.

The interested authors are welcome to contribute to the Proceedings and submit their papers.
