Publication History

Typically 1 volume with 4 issues per year was published in 1965-1983, then the larger number of papers resulted in increase of the issues per year; 2 volumes, each with 3 issues were published in 1984-1990. The collapse of the Soviet Union led to lack and then to absence of papers and Afz/Ap had only 2 issues in 1991 and was not publishing at all in 1992. However, due to the efforts of Editor-in-Chief L. V. Mirzoyan and Executive Secretary A. T. Kalloglian, and with the support of NAS RA, it was recovered in 1993 and was published with the periodicity of the early years; 1 volume with 4 issues per year. Total 3,198 papers and 24,162 pages have been published in 1965-2014.
