Suggestive Parameters for Peer-Reviewed Journals UGC 2025 Guidelines
In strict accordance with the UGC 2025 Guidelines governing the assessment and curation of peer-reviewed journals, we maintain rigorous adherence to these standards, which were formally promulgated on 11th February 2025. It is confirmed that certain 36 parameters for choosing peer-reviewed journals by faculty members, students and the Higher Educational Institutions by the Commission at the 59lst meeting held on 24 June, 2025 to use the guidelines for all academic and research-related publication activities. These guidelines serve to uphold the principles of academic rigour, scholarly transparency, and publication excellence within the research community. In its recent advisory concerning selection criteria for peer-reviewed publications, the University Grants Commission (UGC) emphasises that Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) must uphold their commitment to advancing rigorous research and ensuring its dissemination through reputable peer-reviewed journals. To facilitate this objective, HEIs are advised to adopt the following indicative parameters when evaluating journals, tailored to their institutional priorities and disciplinary specialisations. These guidelines serve as a foundational framework to safeguard the quality, editorial transparency, and scholarly relevance of selected publications. For cross-verification against the UGC-mandated 36 parameters, please find below a detailed examination of this journal's alignment with the stipulated criteria.

Suggestions for HEIs

1. Choice of Peer-Reviewed Journals: Using the above parameters, faculty members and students may choose peer-reviewed journals tailored to their specific disciplines and research focus areas for publishing their research work.

2. Internal Review Committees: HEIs may establish internal committee(s) to fine-tune the above-suggested parameters from time to time as needed in their specific cases to ensure they continue to meet the quality standards and to align with the institute’s academic and research goals. (Ref: 584th meeting held on 3rd October 2024, circular released on 11 February, 2025), (Ref: 59lst meeting held on 24 June, 2025, Public Notice released on 16th July 2025)
