About the Proceedings

The Proceedings of the Indiana Academy of Science is the official publication of the Indiana Academy of Science. Issues date back to our founding in 1885. Prior to 1990 (Vol. 99), the journal was published annually, with many volumes bound in hardcover. Since 1990, it has been published semiannually in paperback. Papers published in the Proceedings are indexed by all the appropriate indexing services (Biological Abstracts, Chemical Abstracts, online services, etc.).

The Proceedings of the Indiana Academy of Science is an excellent venue for papers dealing with science in Indiana or the Midwest.
