Journal Guide

Founded in 1965, In Vitro Cellular & Developmental Biology - Plant is the only journal devoted solely to worldwide coverage of in vitro biology in plants. Its high-caliber original research and reviews make it required reading for anyone who needs comprehensive coverage of the latest developments and state-of-the-art research in plant cell and tissue culture and biotechnology from around the world. Each year, four issues cover cellular, molecular and developmental biology research using in vitro grown or maintained organs, tissues or cells derived from plants. Two special IAPB issues focus on plant tissue culture, and molecular and cellular aspects of plant biotechnology. The IAPB and SIVB maintain separate, independent editorial review boards for their issues. Coverage extends to a range of topics, including Biotechnology/genetic transformation; Developmental biology/ morphogenesis; Micropropagation; Functional genomics; Molecular farming; Metabolic engineering, and more.

The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, an International monthly Pediatric Journal, was established in 1933 by the late Dr. K.C. Chaudhuri. It is the oldest specialty journal in South-East Asia keeping track with the current trends in the world of Pediatrics. The journal aims to publish and propagate the latest research and medical achievements in pediatrics and child health, including genetics.

The Indian Society for Plant Physiology sets up a platform for scientists and research workers dealing with the physiology of plants so as to facilitate the exchange of ideas and serve as a point of interaction.The journal publishes original research papers in the field of plant physiology and related subjects such as biochemistry, agronomy, soil science, horticulture, genetics, molecular biology and other cognate sciences that form the base of plant physiology.

Indian Journal of Pure and Applied Mathematics (IJPAM) is devoted to publication of selected papers dealing with original research in Pure and Applied Mathematics, Statistics as well as topics in Mathematical Sciences such as Operations Research, Mathematical Economics, Mathematics Biology, and Computer Science. It is published by the Indian National Science Academy, New Delhi. For a paper to be considered for publication it is a precondition that it is not submitted for publication elsewhere and contains results that are new, significant and of interest to wide sections of the mathematical community. Editors may invite papers on special topics of current interest.All papers, whether contributed or invited, will be refereed. The Journal is indexed in the Science Citation Index; Current Contents (Physical, Chemical & Earth Sciences); Mathematical Reviews; INSPEC Science Abstracts (Part A), Zentralblatt für Mathematik as well as other major international abstracting services.

The Indian Journal of Surgical Oncology aims to encourage and promote clinical and research activities pertaining to Surgical Oncology. It also aims to bring in the concept of multidisciplinary team approach in management of various cancers.The Journal would publish original article, point of technique, review article, case report, letter to editor, profiles of eminent teachers, surgeons and instititions - a short (up to 500 words) of the Cancer Institutions, departments, and oncologist, who founded new departments.

The primary aim of the Indian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery is education. The journal aims to dissipate current clinical practices and developments in the area of cardiovascular surgery. This includes information on cardiovascular epidemiology, aeteopathogenesis, clinical manifestation etc. The journal accepts manuscripts from cardiovascular anaesthesia, cardiothoracic and vascular nursing and technology development and new/innovative products. The journal is published quarterly and is dead lined for distribution by 15th March, 15th June, 15th September and 15th December. The journal is mailed to all national and international members, advertisers and reviewers of the manuscripts. Complementary subscriptions are sent to selected libraries.

Description The journal is the official organ of the Indian Association of Cardiovascular-Thoracic Surgeons. It was started in 1982 by Dr. Solomon Victor and ws being published twice a year up to 1996. From 2000 the editorial office moved to Delhi. From 2001 the journal was extended to quarterly and subsequently four issues annually have been printed out at time and regularly without fail.

An important guiding principle has been the simultaneous need to inform, educate and entertain the target audience. The specific key objectives are: To publish original, relevant, well researched peer reviewed articles on issues related to child health. To provide continuing education to support informed clinical decisions and research.To foster responsible and balanced debate on controversial issues that affect child health, including non-clinical areas such as medical education, ethics, law, environment and economics.To achieve the highest level of ethical medical journalism and to produce a publication that is timely, credible and enjoyable to read.

The journal Infection is a peer-reviewed forum for the presentation and discussion of clinically relevant information on infectious diseases for readers and contributors from all over the world.
