Journal of The Association of Physicians of India

About this Journal

Initially the Journal was published quarterly. In 1959 it became a bimonthly journal and since 1961 it is published every month. Thus from less than 500 pages per year, the number increased to 1604 in the year 2002. Pari pasu with the growth of API has been the increase in circulation of the Journal. From monthly 3000 copies in 1982, 17,000 copies are now printed every month. Today the Journal receives over 650 manuscripts per year. On an average over 300 articles are now published in the Journal per year. Since then a positive balance has been achieved despite the fact that API has stopped its contribution since the year 1999.

Since then today JAPI is self sufficient and does not draw any contribution from API. The journal is also publishing “Special Issues” of interest to the practicing physicians contributed by eminent specialists of the field from the country.
