Any idea about 'International Research Journal of commerce , arts and science? Is it a UGC listed journal?
Kindly advice
Dear Piyali Bose
The journal “International Research Journal of commerce, arts and science” is not indexed in the UGC CARE list (this can be checked here https://ugccare.unipune.ac.in/apps1/home/index You need to register (for free) in order to access the list(s)). There are many red flags that this is not a safe choice:
-UGC Approved is an obsolete term. Since a number of years, it is replaced by UGC CARE
-The prominently mentioned impact factor is fake since they are not indexed in Clarivate’s indexes (ESCI, SCIE, SSCI) which can be checked here https://mjl.clarivate.com/home
-The whole website http://www.casirj.com works more or less but the way to submit is somewhat hidden, and APC charge is not transparent (http://www.casirj.com/paper_submission ) and they claim open access but I was unable to open papers (the ones I checked)
So, (at least) two things are telling: the fake impact factor and mentioning UGC (approved) listing while nowadays it is called UGC CARE.
Personally, I would avoid this one.
Best regards.
