10. The Editor-in-Chief of INJM Prof. (Dr.) V.C. Kalia, in his report highlighted that the Indian Journal of Microbiology (INJM), the official Journal of the Association of Microbiologists of India (AMI), has been progressing steadily on Academic, Administrative and Financial fronts. The progress made during 2017 is better than that made in the last few years. This is very clear indicator of the fact that INJM is growing and evolving to meet the challenge posed by scientific publications from around the world. The number of competitors
10
is growing rapidly each year. The Impact Factor of INJM has improved from 0.457 for 2012, to 1.29 for 2016 and the corresponding citations of the papers have also seen an upward trend - from 419 in 2012 to 1003 in 2016. With the strong support of AMI CC members, and Editors of INJM, we have been able to bring out all the issues of INJM in 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 in a scheduled and timely manner.
We all must be proud of the fact that the quality of papers published in INJM is reflected not only by the fact that they are being cited a lot, rather they are being cited in high Impact Factor Journals. Of all the papers published in 2016, INJM Volume 56 (I-IV), more than 30% have been cited in International Journals with Impact Factors ranging from 2.5 to 38.6 (Chemical Society Reviews) (Table):
Papers published in INJM 56 (I-IV) 2016 being Cited in Journals

Another milestone set by the papers published in Indian Journal of Microbiology, is their Google Scholar Citations:
(i) 190 times: Pal A, Paul AK (2008) Microbial extracellular polymeric substances: central elements in heavy metal bioremediation. Indian J Microbiol 48(1):49-64. doi:10.1007/s12088-008-0006-5

It will be worth mentioning that INJM is subscribed by more than 6000 Institutions globally. INJM is likely to scale new heights with the strong support of AMI CC members and Editors of INJM. Last but not the least is the Royalty generated due to INJM, which has been flowing in steadily over the last 10 years (Details provided by the Treasurer AMI).There was high appreciation in the GB of the hard work done by the Editor-in-Chief and his team. The reports of the Editor-in-Chief were proposed for approval by Prof. T. Satyanarayana and seconded by Prof. Prince Sharma.
11. In the next agenda item, Dr Amulya K. Panda, Convener, AMSc, informed the GB that the registration of the academy is to be done to change its abbreviation and full name. He presented the revised rules and regulations of the Academy of Microbiological Sciences (AMSc) and revised format for awarding the fellowship (FAMSc). The same was approved by the GB.
12. Further, he also presented the approval of the Executive committee (EC) of AMSc duly recommended by Fellow Selection Committee (FSC) recommendations for awarding the fellowship for 2017 by the Academy of Microbiological Sciences. The same is listed below:
