UGC Journals are genuine, accredited by the University Grants Commission (UGC) to maintain standards of high research. These journals are listed under two categories, Group I (UGC-recommended) and Group II (indexed in international databases such as Scopus), on the UGC-CARE Portal. They are evaluated on parameters related to ethical publishing, peer reviewed, and quality. Such kinds of journals act as a door for researchers and academicians to demonstrate work for recognition. To keep the credibility of the list and weed out journals preaching predatory tasks, it is frequently updated.
Guidelines to follow before applying for a UGC-recognized journal:
-
- The journal should be authentic: Verify whether it is contained in the UGC-CARE List of the approved journals; the list is meant to avoid predatory or fake journals; keep checking the UGC-CARE portal regularly for updates.
- Scope and Relevance: Ensure that the scope of the journal aligns with your area of research. Submission to a journal with incorrect concentration is bound to result in rejection.
- Follow Author Guidelines: Read the journal submission guidelines and meet the criteria regarding format, word count, references, and additional materials.
- Check Open Access or Fees: Find out if the journal is open access or charges an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication. Make sure everything regarding publication costs is transparent to avoid predatory practices.
- These steps can increase the chances of one’s work being published in a credible and UGC-recognized journal.
