Publications
The publication activities of INSA have the roots to the depth of Academy’s 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.

Proceedings of the Indian National Science Academy
The Proceedings is a broad scope peer reviewed journal publishing original research articles, reviews, commentaries/opinion, meeting reports, book reviews and Academy news. The scope of journal encompasses physics, chemical sciences, earth & planetary sciences, engineering & technology, material sciences & engineering, plant sciences, animal sciences, microbiology & immunology, cell & bio-molecular sciences and health sciences and agricultural sciences.
Articles in areas of pure and applied mathematics, which are of interest to a broad readership, and those based on Indian National Science Academy (INSA) award lectures and reviews/surveys contributed by newly elected INSA fellows and other awardees can be considered for publication in the journal. However, we recommend submitting original research articles in mathematics to our mathematics journal, IJPAM.
All articles, including those invited, are peer-reviewed. In addition to the regular issues, Special Issues or Sections on thematic topics are also published periodically.
The journal has an illustrious history-it started when the then National Institute of Sciences of India, now the Indian National Science Academy, was inaugurated on 7 January 1935 at Calcutta and commissioned this journal, Proceedings of the National Institute of Sciences of India, in the same year, for publishing articles from all the branches of science. As the number of accepted papers increased, the journal was bifurcated in 1955 into two parts – Part A (Physical Sciences) and Part B (Biological Sciences). When the National Institute of Sciences of India was renamed as the Indian National Science Academy in 1970, the journal became Proceedings of the Indian National Science Academy. It continued to be published in two parts with six issues each in a calendar year. In 1997, the Academy decided to publish only review articles of contemporary scientific interest, evaluating advances and newer approaches in the given field. The emphasis thus shifted from being a vehicle of original research reports into one of reviews, and comprehensive summary reports on chosen topics. Thus from the beginning of January 1998, the Proceedings brought out thematic issues containing invited reviews on current scientific topics. Beginning from the year 2006, the Academy merged the Parts A and B so that each issue of the Proceedings is inter-disciplinary and covers areas under Physical, Biological and Applied Sciences, including Engineering and today the journal publishes original articles along with reviews.

Indian Journal of History of Science
Indian Journal of History of Science (IJHS) is published under the guidance of Indian National Commission for History of Science, set up by the Academy in 1965. The journal was first published in 1966 biannually. 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. The journal is now being co-published with Springer since 2021. The Springer home page of the IJHS can be accessed on https://www.springer.com/journal/43539.

Indian Journal of Pure & Applied Mathematics
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 a good reputation and popularity at the international level. 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 many 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 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 quarterly with Springer (India) Pvt. Ltd., and is also available on Springerlink.com. This has resulted in an 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.
As soon as a paper is accepted, and author proofs are received, they are made available simultaneously at Online First (Indian Journal of Pure and Applied Mathematics | Online first articles (springer.com)) and from a dedicated website of the journal at INSA (Indian National Science Academy (insa.nic.in)). These articles are then sold by Springer Nature to anyone who might wish to obtain full access, however, they are freely available from the website of INSA. All the issues starting from Vol-I is available at Indian National Science Academy (insa.nic.in).
