Shodhganga: A Reservoir of Indian Theses (https://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/):

"Shodhganga" is the name coined to denote digital repository of Indian Electronic Theses and Dissertations set-up by the INFLIBNET Centre. Shodhganga stands for the reservoir of Indian intellectual output stored in a repository hosted and maintained by the INFLIBNET Centre. It provides a platform for research scholars to deposit their Ph.D. theses and make it available to the entire scholarly community in open access. The repository has the ability to capture, index, store, disseminate and preserve ETDs (Electronic Theses and Dissertations) submitted by the researchers.

ShodhGangotri: Repository of Research in Progress/Synopses (https://shodhgangotri.inflibnet.ac.in/):

Under the initiative called "ShodhGangotri", research scholars/research supervisors in universities are requested to deposit an electronic version of the approved synopsis submitted by research scholars to the universities for registering themselves for the Ph.D. programme now it is expanded to MRPs/PDFs/Emeritus Fellowship, etc. The repository on one hand would reveal the trends and directions of research being conducted in Indian universities, on the other hand, it would avoid duplication of research. Synopsis in "ShodhGangotri" would later be mapped to full-text theses in "ShodhGanga". As such, once the full-text thesis is submitted for a synopsis, a link to the full-text theses would be provided from ShodhGangotri to "ShodhGanga".

Journal Metrics for Peer Review

Journal metrics are used to compare, rank, and quantify research and academic publications. They're also known as journal rankings, journal relevance and the impact factor. Scholars and researchers can compare academic journals using journal metrics by different methods. The LRC offers a variety of such tools to evaluate, retrieval, dissemination, and knowledge creation:

  1. UGC Approved List of Journals ( https://ugc.ac.in/journallist/): The UGC-CARE List has TWO groups UGC-CARE List Group I - Journals found qualified through UGC-CARE protocols and UGC-CARE List Group II - Journals indexed in globally recognised databases.
  2. Scopus (https://www.scopus.com): Scopus is an abstract and citation database curated by independent subject matter experts that is source-neutral. Scopus offers free features to non-subscribed users and is available through Scopus Preview. Researchers may use Scopus Preview to assist with their research, such as searching authors, and learning more about Scopus content coverage and source metrics.
  3. Web of Science (https://mjl.clarivate.com/home): The Web of Science platform is the most powerful research engine to help researchers in finding the right journal with publication and citation data for discovery, and assessment connecting regional, specialty, data and patent indexes.
  4. Australian Business Deans Council – ABDC (https://abdc.edu.au/abdc-journal-quality-list/): The Australian Business Deans Council (ABDC) is the peak body of Australian university business schools. It works as a guide for researchers and scholars to identify and publish their research in the relevant and credible journals.
  5. Google Scholar (https://scholar.google.com): Google Scholar is a freely accessible web search engine that indexes the full text or metadata of scholarly literature across an array of publishing formats and disciplines. Google Scholar helps you find relevant work across the world of scholarly research. It would be especially useful in cases when those publications not covered by Web of Science or Scopus are critical to an evaluation.
