I need a clarification regarding the UGC approved journal list. I had published a paper in “Interantional Journal of Advace Research in Science & Engineering” which comes under UGC Approved Journal List. My discipline is Management and specialization is MBA-Marketing. But the said journal’s Broad Subject Category according to UGC comes under Science. However my paper title is “Internet of Things (IoT): Applications in Marketing” is interdisciplinary nature. My question is while calculating API score for Indian Universities Recruitment for Asst/Associate Professor in Management subject, does universities accept the API points for publishing the paper even though the Published paper does not come under MANAGEMENT or SOCIAL SCIENCE.
Also please explain the meaning of the 4th point given in the UGC website:
The UGC-approved List of Journals is one consolidated list that can be browsed by various subjects. However, faculty and researchers should be given due credits for all their publications irrespective of subject-wise categorization of a journal in the UGC-approved list of journal.
Thank you in advance
