WASHINGTON, Oct. 22, 2012 Editors of a dozen prestigious scientific journals have just completed a highly successful two-week visit to India, where they met with more than 3,000 scientists and students to discuss publication of research articles about new scientific discoveries and other topics. The journals are among the more than 40 peer-reviewed scientific publications from the American Chemical Society (ACS), the world's largest scientific society.
"The international visit was spectacularly successful," said Anirban Mahapatra, Ph.D., of the ACS Journals Publishing Group, who was part of the ACS delegation. "Our editors were treated like rock stars by so many of the scientists and interested students in India. We were absolutely delighted to be able to share so much useful information with our colleagues and others in this great technological nation."
Susan King, Ph.D., senior vice president of the ACS Journals Publishing Group, noted that India is a powerhouse of science and technology, leading the way in fields such as renewable energy, nanotechnology, biotechnology and information technology. King, who also was part of the delegation of editors with other ACS Publications staff, commented that the size of India's technical workforce has doubled in recent years, with more than 160 universities awarding more than 4,000 doctoral degrees and 35,000 other postgraduate degrees annually.
"ACS Publications extends its appreciation to the Indian research community for their ongoing support of ACS journals," said King. "The ACS editors and I are delighted to have had the opportunity to visit leading institutions conducting groundbreaking research in chemistry and allied subjects across India. We thank our hosts for leading this initiative, for their hospitality and warm welcome, and for the opportunity to visit ACS associate editors, editorial advisory board members, authors and researchers in the laboratories, institutes and universities where this groundbreaking research is accomplished."
In 2011 alone, ACS journals published over 1,000 articles from laboratories in India, covering a wide range of research. Manuscript submissions from Indian institutions have grown faster than submissions from many other countries commensurate with the huge scale of India's investment in science and technology.
In recognition of India's leadership in scientific research, ACS editors visited academic and other research institutions spanning seven cities in India: Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi, Kanpur, Hyderabad, Pune and Kolkata.
The following is a list of institutions the editors visited:
- Mumbai
- Tata Institute of Fundamental Research
