National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF)
by Dr. J. K. Vijayakumar 12 Oct '15

12 Oct '15

I got chance to skim through the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) (https://www.nirfindia.org/Home) which will be used to rank Indian Universities and colleges. We can see many reforms in the parameters. I believe they are big steps taken...hopefully at a later stage more and more our Universities will reach to the global rankings. As a librarian, I was curious to know the Publications/Citations parameters for rankings. I have not looked at other criteria on teaching, outreach, jobs etc. Out of total 500 marks, 100 marks are for Research, Professional Practice & Collaborative Performance. This is basically about research publications, collaborations, citations etc. Good thing, the ISSN boom in India will be stopped, it is really a great improvement. Now journals indexed in Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar only will be counted for assessment. I am not sure why Google Scholar is there as a data source, hope some one will answer. GS is not a database and there are many cases of manipulations in citation numbers. Books/Monographs should have ISBN number and published by reputed publishers. Okay, but who will decide the "reputation"? For collaboration, it says external collaboration. Not clear whether it is outside the institution or outside the country? ---------- Dr. J. K. VIJAYAKUMAR, Manager, Library Collections and Information Services, King Abdullah University of Science & Technology. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
