It is also applied to the library staff at the level of Assistant librarian cadre and above and also college librarian. The UGC had made four amendments in the Regulations as quality measure in the past. The UGC recently identified and issued a list of 38652 journals for counting of API in the category of Research Publication - Journals for selection/promotion of teachers and other academic staff in the university and colleges. The present study analyzes this list and identifies some issues with respect to the LIS journals.* Thanks & Regards, *Vijendra Kumar *------------------------ *Junior Research Fellow * *Department of Library and Information Science Vardhman Mahaveer Open University Kota - 3240321 (Rajasthan), India* -- <https://online.vmou.ac.in/General_Instruction.aspx> ------------------------------ *वर्धमान महावीर खुला विश्वविद्यालय <http://www.vmou.ac.in>* | Vardhman Mahaveer Open University रावतभाटा रोड | Rawatbhata Road कोटा - ३२४०२१ | Kota-324021 (राजस्थान) (Rajasthan) भारत | INDIA TOLL FREE : 1800-180-6166 AJMER <http://www.vmou.ac.in/ajmer>| BIKANER <http://www.vmou.ac.in/bikaner>| BHARATPUR <http://www.vmou.ac.in/bharatpur>| JAIPUR <http://www.vmou.ac.in/jaipur>| JODHPUR <http://www.vmou.ac.in/jodhpur>| UDAIPUR <http://www.vmou.ac.in/udaipur>| KOTA <http://www.vmou.ac.in/kota> Youtube <http://www.youtube.com/user/vmouonline/videos> | Facebook <https://www.facebook.com/vmouonline>| Twitter <https://twitter.com/vmouonline> <http://radio.vmou.ac.in:8000/iradio.m3u> *"Print this mail only if absolutely necessary.
