Indian Journal of Pure and Applied Mathematics
1. Announcement
Issue based publishing: An experiment for the Indian Journal of Pure and Applied Mathematics
This concerns some publication paradigm that we are following from Volume 48, Issue 1 at the Editorial office of the Indian Journal of Pure and Applied Mathematics. This is meant to make our readership aware of the constantly evolving practices in electronic publishing worldwide.
To be specific, we propose a new system in publishing the accepted papers online at http://insa.nic.in/UI/journaldetails.aspx?AID=Mg==
The new procedure we adopt is to be called Issue Based Publishing, or IBP for short. This means accepted articles are published online as soon as the corrected proofs are received from the author, complete with all the bibliographic data. Issue based publishing is a departure from the current practice which has eliminated the notion of “several issues” within a fixed volume. Thus typically most journals bring out only one volume per year making the citation to a particular article within that volume somewhat cumbersome. We are going to assign an accepted article to a particular issue as soon as it is available in its final form complete with the information on the particular issue to which it belongs, the DOI number and the page numbers etc. This will greatly help in accessing an article as soon as it is ready, even if an entire issue remains to be completed. Also accessibility of an article and possibility of citing it with full DOI information will be achieved in the shortest possible time.

The Indian Journal of Pure and Applied Mathematics (IJPAM) is devoted to original research in all fields of Pure and Applied Mathematics, Statistics and other related areas. It is published bimonthly by the Indian National Science Academy (INSA) and is also available on its website. Starting 2010, the Journal is being co-published with Springer, and is also available on Springerlink.com.
The authors are encouraged to submit their manuscripts online through http://www.editorialmanager.com/ijpa/
Manuscripts (in full or, any substantial part thereof) submitted to IJPAM should not have been submitted for publication elsewhere.
The author must choose a member of the editorial board specialising in an area close to the topic of the paper.
Instructions for preparation of manuscripts is available at www.springer.com/authors. The initial page should contain the title followed by the name(s) of the author(s), full mailing address(es) and email address (es).
The author should provide a short abstract, not exceeding 250 words, summarizing the highlights of the principal findings covered in the paper and the scope of the research. Five or six keywords and phrases should be provided along with the latest American Mathematical Society subject classification available at http://www.ams.org/mathscinet/msc2010.html.
References should be cited in the text by the Arabic numerals in square brackets. List of references should be arranged in the alphabetical order of the author’s last name. Each reference should include the author’s name, title, the abbreviated name of the journal, volume number, (year), page numbers, as in the sample citation given below:
