Peer-reviewed journals get UGC approval

Peer-reviewed journals get UGC approval

In a bid to make it easier for university and college teachers to earn points to enhance their research score for recruitment and promotion, the University Grants Commission has decided to treat all peer-reviewed journals at par with its own list of approved journals.

For each such paper in science, engineering, medical, agriculture and veterinary sciences, a college or university teacher will earn eight points.

For each paper in languages, humanities, arts, social sciences, library, education, physical education, commerce, management and other related disciplines, the teacher will earn 10 points.
