IPR Publication Policy: 2011

1) Publication charges will be paid only for those articles which have been routed through
     the Publication Committee and approved by the Director.

2) Waiver of charges for all publications should be sought from publishers as far as possible.

3) The printing cost of color figures is very high. Keeping budget considerations in view,
     printing of colored figures are discouraged. However, charges for color printing can be
     paid for  figures appearing in articles which are published in journals having impact
     factor of 6 and higher.  In this case too, the authors are urged to use their better sense of
     judgment and avoid  printing  those figures in color which can be printed in  black and
     white readily with no loss of any data information (e.g. instead of using colored line
     plots, black lines with  different styles can be employed, surface plots having two colors
     can be readily represented by black and grey shades).
