Why Colleges Should Subscribe Academic Journals
A simple explanation for colleges, universities, and inspection committees
Mandatory for Regulatory Inspections
Regulatory bodies such as NMC, PCI, AICTE, UGC, BCI, and NCTE expect institutions to provide access to indexed and peer-reviewed journals. Lack of approved journals may lead to inspection remarks or non-compliance.
Supports Faculty Publications & Career Growth
Faculty members require access to Scopus, Web of Science, and UGC CARE journals for research publications, API score calculation, promotions, and CAS requirements. Proper subscriptions directly support academic growth.
Improves Student Research Quality
Undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral students depend on authentic journals for dissertations, theses, and research projects. International journals provide updated data, methodologies, and references.
Essential for NAAC, NBA & NIRF Rankings
Accreditation and ranking agencies carefully evaluate library resources. Availability of national and international journals positively impacts institutional scores and academic reputation.
Protection from Predatory & Fake Journals
Many institutions unknowingly invest in predatory journals. Verified and approved subscriptions ensure compliance, authenticity, and long-term academic credibility.
Cost-Effective Institutional Access
Institutional subscriptions allow access for multiple departments and users under a single plan, making them more economical compared to individual journal purchases.
Important Notes for Inspection Committees
- ✔ Only indexed and peer-reviewed journals are considered valid
- ✔ ISSN and indexing proof may be required during inspection
- ❌ Conference proceedings are not equivalent to journal publications
- ❌ Local, fake, or predatory journals are strictly rejected
