What is UGC CARE List of Journals?

UGC strongly emphasizes on promoting high quality research and knowledge contents by faculty members, researchers and students. To meet these goals and to ensure prevention of academic misconduct, UGC has set up “Consortium for Academic and Research Ethics (CARE)”.

To improve quality of research and knowledge contents UGC has set up a “Consortium for Academic and Research Ethics (CARE)” whose work is to identify, continuously monitor and maintain “UGC-CARE List of Quality Journals”.

Core reasons to setup UGC-CARE are well explained below :

  • To promote only quality research, academic integrity and publication ethics in all Indian Universities.
  • For promoting high-quality publications in reputed journals to achieve higher global ranks.
  • To prevent publications in dubious/predatory/sub-standard journals that reflects adversely and tarnish the Indian academia image.

  • Group A: Research Journals from all disciplines which are 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).
