Indian Journal of Pathology and Microbiology (ISSN-0377-4929) |
|
The Indian Journal of Pathology and Microbiology is the
official quarterly publication of the Indian Association of
Pathologists and Microbiologists. It had completed 50 glorious years
in the year 2007. Late Dr Vanmali Saran Maglik of King George
Medical College, Lucknow is the founder editor who started the
journal in the year 1958. Initially the journal was called Indian
Journal of Pathology and Bacteriology and the present name is in
existence from the year 1965. The journal grew over the years under
the able guidance of stalwarts like Late Dr HI Jhala, Late Dr V
Ramalingaswamy, Dr HD Tandon, Late Dr BK Aikat and Late Dr S
Nagalotimath. The present form is due to the untiring efforts of Dr
KS Ratnakar, Dr VH Talib, Dr SK Shahi and Dr Harsh Mohan. The journal is widely read and is in almost all the
libraries of the country and in many institutions outside the
country. From the year 2008, the article submission, review,
correspondence and publication process has been made online (www.journalonweb.com/ijpm).
Now the journal has its own website (www.ijpmonline.org). With these
changes the visibility and popularity of the journal has
tremendously increased. Dr S Satyanarayana is the present editor of
the journal.

From The Editor’s Desk |

I have just taken over as Editor-in-chief of this prestigious
journal, The Indian Journal of Pathologists and Microbiologists. Due
to the process of transition, change over from conventional
publication to online publication process and development of
exclusive website of the journal, there has been a slight delay in
bringing out the first issue of the volume 51. The future challenges
are, to increase the visibility and readership, increase the
proportion of original research publications, to make the articles
available online ahead of print and to make the journal more
popular. The database of reviewers has also increased in these two
months. Now any one with vast experience in the field with
publications to ones credit can inform the editor to do the review
work by e-mail:
 The
website of the journal is
www.ijpmonline.org where all the data of article
submission, past issues of the journal in downloadable pdf format,
contact information and feed back methods are available. The article
submission is through the website:
www.journalonweb.com/ijpm
From the response and from the surveys by authors it seems it is
going to be very popular. The ease of submission, tracking of the
article, economy, conservation of scarce natural resource like paper
and fast decision making are some of the interesting features of
online submission. For improving the credibility of the journal
the quality of the articles should improve. Though there is resource
crunch in many institutions to have modern technologies and
ancillary diagnostic tests, there is vast clinical material
available in the country. There is a need for national data on many
disease entities. The journal can form a platform in this task. I
appeal to all the workers in the field of research to send good
quality articles to the journal. Dr S
Satyanarayana
