How we differentiate National Journals from International one.What will be the status of a Journal, If it is run by an Institute or University of a country but its publishing house is located outside the country?
Ramendra - it doesn't really matter where a journal is based for it to be considered international. It's the membership of the editor's, editorial board, advisory committees etc that determine this. Also the scope of the journal dictates - and if they accept manuscript submissions from any country - or if they are localised to a region. If all of the contributors and editors etc are based in one country - then it would be classified as a national journal - and there would be a high associated relationship that the journal would be based in that country as well. Where a publishing house is based may be more a matter of 'economics' - rather than any attempt to internationalise it.

Some if it is just public relations, i.e.the journal wanting an impressive name. But I think it also refers to the orientation of the journal.
For example, last year a colleague and I wrote a good paper about how privacy law in the United States affects educational use of social media.
This paper was not really suitable for an INTERNATIONAL journal, because the findings were only applicable in the United States. It was suitable for a NATIONAL journal.
Hi,
The name of a journal indicates its content. It should indicate its aim and scope of coverage because researchers are searching a journal to publish their paper, mostly and firstly by its title. When a journal changes its title, it is also not because its publisher moved from one country to another, but because the subjects it covers were merged or fragmented.
