Abstract: Analyzing the productivity and characteristics of Journals is
very important and comparing them at the international level is very useful
to the researchers, subscribing institutions, funding organizations and
professional bodies for many reasons. A researcher gets many clues on the
quality of Journals; subscribing institutions get to know many ideas about
the kind and quality of Journals before they decide for subscriptions.
Funding institutions understand the quality of published research output of
researchers and the assessment of the quality of Journals helps the
professional societies to improve the quality of Journals they publish.
This study centered on seven objectives and four hypotheses. Subject-wise
distribution of Journals in SJR and JCR; Ranking of Journals based on SJR
and JCR indicators; Ranking of Journals based on h-index; Correlation
between different quality metrics; Citation relationship across the
Journals; Comparing the ranking of Journals published in India with
International level using SJR and JCR; Geographical distribution and Type
of Journals published. This study brought out key suggestions and
recommendations. Some of the important findings of the study are: Out of
seven subject areas considered for the study, multidisciplinary Journals
constitute a major share in SJR; Only one Journal in multidisciplinary have
an SJR score of more than one, it is same in JCR that has Impact Factor of
one and above; Significant differences are found among IPP & SNIP metrics
in SJR; Found significant differences in SJR scores of International level
Journals when compared with the Journals published in India; Journals
published from India are nowhere comparable at the international level in
the HSS field; Most of the top-ranked Journals at international level are
published either from USA or UK; Spearman’s rank coefficient used in the
study to find out the correlations between citable documents and total
cites indicates a positive relationship between citable documents and total
cites. Overall the study enhances the visibility of HSS journals at the
global level.



The Library professionals, faculty members, research scholars, experts in
the field and other interested people are invited to attend the public
viva-voce examination.
