About the journal
Current Science, founded in 1932 is published by the Current Science Association in collaboration with the Indian Academy of Sciences. The journal is also intended as a medium for communication and discussion of important issues that concern science and scientific activity. All articles published in Current Science, especially editorials, opinions and commentaries, letters and book reviews, are deemed to reflect the individual views of the authors and not the official points of view, either of the Current Science Association or of the Indian Academy of Sciences.
Instructions to Authors
INFORMATION FOR CONTRIBUTORS
GENERAL
All manuscripts should be addressed to the Editor, Current Science,
P. B. No. 8001, C. V. Raman Avenue, Bangalore 560 080.
Submission of an article will be held to imply that it has not been

elsewhere; and further, that if accepted, it will not be published
elsewhere. Three copies of contributions of all categories are
required, with a letter of transmittal giving (i) names and complete
addresses of the authors and (ii) title of the contribution and the
category in which it is submitted (see below).
Current Science is a multidisciplinary journal and therefore research
and review papers of general significance that are written clearly and
well organized will be given preference. All papers will be first
assessed by a Reviewing Editor. Papers found unsuitable in terms of
the overall requirements of the journal will be returned to the authors.
The authors will be sent for detailed review. Both solicited and
unsolicited material will be reviewed. Authors of these papers will be
notified of acceptance, rejection, or need for revision of the paper.
Returned papers cannot be resubmitted.
Illustrations and other material to be reproduced from other
publications must be properly credited; it is the authors?responsibility
to obtain permission for reproduction (copies of letters of permission
should be sent).
CATEGORIES OF MANUSCRIPT
General articles (not exceeding 5000 words) discuss current trends
in research in a field that will be of interest to readers outside the field;
interdisciplinary topics: science policy and administration; or some
aspect of the application of science and technology to human needs or
the impact of science and technology on society/ecosystems/life. They
should include a summary not exceeding 100 words, introductory
paragraph(s), brief subheads at appropriate places to point to what
follows, illustrations that will help a general reader, and references.
Review articles (not exceeding 5000 words) are expected to survey
and discuss recent developments in a field. They should be well
focused and organized, and avoid a general, ‘textbook?style.
Research articles (not exceeding 4000 words) should report research
results of fairly major significance. They should include an abstract
not exceeding 100 words, introductory paragraph(s), and brief
subheads.
Research communications (not exceeding 2000 words) should
contain important findings that are novel and of fairly broad interest.
They should include a brief abstract and an introductory paragraph.
Text should not be broken up under subheads.
Correspondence includes letters, not exceeding 500 words, that are
of general interest to scientists. All letters cannot be published.
Scientific correspondence contains technical comments, including
those on articles of communications published in Current Science
within the previous six months. Letters may be reviewed and edited.
Research news articles are intended to inform nonspecialists about
recently published advances or important findings discussed at a
meeting. Authors should also send a copy of the paper(s) on which the
article is based. Meeting reports should avoid merely listing brief
accounts of topics discussed, and must convey to readers the
significance of an important advance.
Research accounts articles are intended to be personalized reviews of
research from the authors?own laboratory, based on a body of
published work. The articles must provide appropriate background to
the area in a concise introduction, which should also serve to place the
author’s work in proper perspective. Articles will normally not exceed
8 to 10 printed pages.
Opinion articles present views on issues related to science and
scientific activity. Commentary articles should contain expository
notes on issues related to science and scientific activity.
Book reviews. unsolicited reviews will also be considered. Reviews
that merely ‘list?brief descriptions of the contents cannot be
published. Reviews should have ‘context?and convey some
information about the subject of the book.
Historical commentary and notes inform readers about interesting
aspects of personalities or institutions of science or about watershed
events in the history/development of science; most are expected to
relate to India. Illustrations are welcome. Brief items will also be
considered.
MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION
Manuscripts should be typed double-spaced on one side of white
bond paper (21 ?28 cm). The pages should be numbered
consecutively, starting with the title page and through the text,
reference list, tables and figure legends. The title should be brief,
specific and amendable to indexing. Not more than five keywords
should be indicated separately; these should be chosen carefully and
must not be phrases of several words. Summary and abstract should
not have more than 100 words and should convey the main point of
the paper, outline the results and conclusions, and explain the
significance of the results.
Text. All papers should have a brief introduction. The text should be
intelligible to readers in different disciplines and technical terms
should be defined. Tables and figures should be referred to in
numerical order. All symbols and abbreviations must be defined, and
used only when absolutely necessary. Superscripts and subscripts and
ambiguous characters should be clearly indicated. Units of measure
should be metric or, preferably. SI. Methods should, as far as possible,
be described briefly in appropriate table and figure legends.
Figures. In the case of line drawings one set of originals (without any
lettering) is sufficient, with two copies containing lettering. In the case
of photographs good prints are required with each copy of the
manuscript; photocopies are not acceptable. Line drawings should be
roughly twice the final printed size. The correct orientation should be
indicated if not clear.
Photomicrographs and other photographs that require it must have a
scale bar, which should be defined clearly in the legend. Primary data
should be submitted as far as possible (e.g. actual photographs of
electrophoretic gels rather than idealized diagrams).
References should be numbered in the order in which they appear,
first through the text and then through table and figure legends. The
following are examples of ways of writing references.
1. Mukundan, T. and Kishore, K., Curr. Sci., 1991, 60, 355?62.
2. Constantine, G. in Biology of Bats (ed. Wimsatt, W. A.), Academic
Press, New York, 1970, vol. 1, pp. 319?22.
Acknowledgements should be brief. Footnotes are not allowed except
to identify the corresponding author if not the first.
Cover photographs. Good photographs (colour or black and white)
that pertain to a submitted paper will be considered for use on the
cover. Good prints and a legend should be submitted with the
manuscript. In the case of a colour picture, a transparency will be
required for printing if accepted.
PROOFS AND PUBLICATION
Two sets of galley proofs are sent to the corresponding author. A
reprint order form accompanies the proofs.
