Journal of the RMS

---

After RMS was founded in 1985, the starting of its journal - Journal of the Ramanujan Mathematical Society (JRMS) - followed as a sequitur in 1986. As one who mooted the idea of starting the journal, the mantle of Editor-in-Chief fell naturally upon Professor K.S. Padmanabhan. He put it on a solid foundation during the period 1986-1991 of his chief editorship. Professor V. Kannan succeeded him in 1992 and continued in this capacity till 1996. Professor Kumar Murty took over the Chief Editorship in 1997. Professor Kumar Murty chose a team of relatively young but accomplished mathematicians, all Indian, as his associate editors for the JRMS . Under his stewardship, JRMS witnessed a meteoric rise. The American Mathematical Society (AMS) came forward to undertake the distribution of JRMS outside India. It is also an SCI Journal since 2014. Initially, JRMS had two issues per year. Now it has four issues per year. True to the wishes of the founders of RMS, the journal maintains both quality and regularity, the quality being taken care of by the Editor-in-Chief and his associates and regularity, by the untiring efforts of the Managing Editor Professor E. Sampathkumar. Since late 2014, the journal has started taking all submissions online only. The online system and the Editorial Office is now managed by a professional team.
