INDEXINGWhere Is IJPAM Indexed?
- SCIE — Science Citation Index Expanded (Clarivate)
- Scopus — Elsevier (estimated CiteScore ~1.2)
- zbMATH — Zentralblatt MATH (mathematics review database)
- Mathematical Reviews (MathSciNet) — American Mathematical Society
- UGC-CARE List — University Grants Commission (India) approved journal list
IJPAM is not currently indexed in SSCI (Social Sciences Citation Index) or A&HCI (Arts & Humanities Citation Index), as its scope falls within the mathematical sciences rather than social sciences or humanities.
QUARTILEQuartile Ranking (Q3) Explained
A Q3 ranking means the Indian Journal of Pure and Applied Mathematics falls in the bottom 50–75% of journals in the Mathematics category ranked by Impact Factor. Specifically:
- Q1 journals have JIFs in the top 25% of their category.
- Q2 journals fall between the 25th and 50th percentile.
- Q3 journals fall between the 50th and 75th percentile.
- Q4 journals are in the bottom 25%.
With a JIF of 0.7 in Mathematics, IJPAM performs below the median for the category (median Mathematics JIF ≈ 1.2–1.5 in JCR 2026). Researchers targeting high-impact publication venues may consider this a mid-tier option; those prioritizing an established Indian mathematics journal with INSA backing will find IJPAM a suitable platform.

- Clarity: Exposition must be clear and accessible to specialists in the field.
PUBLISHERAbout the Publisher
The Indian National Science Academy (INSA), established in 1935, is the apex body of Indian scientists. It promotes scientific research, publishes journals, and represents Indian science internationally. INSA co-publishes IJPAM with Springer Nature, one of the world’s largest academic publishers, ensuring global distribution and indexing.
HISTORYHistorical Context
Founded in 1970, IJPAM predates India’s major research assessment exercises and has served as a consistent outlet for Indian mathematical research for over five decades. The 2010 Springer partnership marked a transition from a primarily domestic journal to an internationally distributed publication, though its impact metrics remain modest relative to top-tier mathematics journals.
