UGC CARE List Journals

The Consortium for Academic and Research Ethics (CARE) has been established on 28th November, 2018, under the purview of the University Grants Commission (UGC).

The main objective of establishing UGC CARE to match the global standard of high-quality academic research.

To achieve the global standard, the following Objectives of the UGC CARE have been proposed:

  • Fostering professional research, intellectual honesty, and ethics of publishing in Indian universities.
  • Promoting high-quality publications in respected journals which would help to achieve higher global ranks.
  • To develop an approach and methods for recognizing journals of good quality.
  • To avoid publications in predatory / dubious / substandard journals that adversely represent and tarnish Indian academia ‘s reputation.
  • For all academic purposes, to establish and maintain a “UGC CARE Reference List of Quality Journals” (UGC CARE List).

 Need for UGC  CARE List

  • The reputation of research publications is extremely important because it reflects not only an individual’s academic identity, but that of the institution and the entire country.
  • The number of research papers published in reputed journals is one of the internationally recognized metrics considered for various academic purposes such as institutional ranking, appointments, faculty membership promotions, academic committee membership, awarding degrees of study, etc.
  • The issue of predatory / questionable / under-standard newspapers has become a source of serious concern worldwide.
  • In India, which has adversely affected its reputation, the percentage of research articles published in low quality journals is stated to be high.
  • Publications in dubious / substandard newspapers represent adverse events that result in long-term academic harm and a tarnished reputation of an person, institution and country.

The UGC CARE has taken the responsibility of preparing the UGC CARE Reference List of Quality Journals (UGC CARE List).
