Resources for Research - Series 5 (UGC CARE List)

The Scope of the UGC-CARE List

• UGC-CARE has taken the responsibility of preparing the “UGC-CARE Reference List of Quality Journals” (UGC-CARE List).
• A list of Indian journals, especially from disciplines of Arts, Humanities, Languages, Culture and Indian Knowledge Systems is being prepared and updated quarterly (UGC-CARE Group I).
• The UGC-CARE List includes journals from all disciplines indexed in globally accepted databases, such as indexed in Scopus (Source list) or Web of Science (Arts and Humanities Citation Index Source Publication, Science Citation Index Expanded Source Publication, Social Science Citation Index Source Publication). These journals are to be considered for all academic purposes. Journals indexed in Scopus and / or Web of Science are part of UGC-CARE List Group II.

The UGC-CARE List has only TWO groups, instead of the original FOUR groups to simplify the search process. These are NOT hierarchic or ranked groups.

UGC-CARE List Group I
Journals found qualified through UGC-CARE protocols
UGC-CARE List Group II
Journals indexed in globally recognised databases

Resources for Research - Series 4 (Google Scholar)

5) Google Scholar is a freely accessible bibliographic database which facilitates easy access to the metadata of scholarly published content. It allows a researcher / author to upload bibliographic data of his / her publications for enhanced visibility. The most important feature of Google Scholar is the metrics i.e. the h-index and the number of citations received for your published article. These citation metrics are updated automatically. An alert is raised when someone cites your publication. You can also choose to keep your profile public or limit the visibility as per your desire.
