Quality of UGC approved LIS Journals

[VISHNU K. GUPTA]

Respected All, [The Editors and Peers (as JIM is Peer-Reviewed)]

I was just reading an article published in JIM Volume 3, Issue 2 (June-December, 2016),on page no. 15-22. I am surprised and also shocked to read this paper. The editors and peers are not aware of the spellings of 'Smart Gadget' and 'Smart Gazette'. They are writing 'Gadget' and 'Gazette' interchangeably. The title of the paper is "LIBRARIES ON CHANGE: FROM STACKS TO SMART GAZETTES." I honestly request to the editors of the Journal (JIM) not to insult the LIS Fraternity. Please maintain the quality of JIM, because it is now approved by the UGC. There are galaxy of errors in spellings of the above paper. My aim is to do improvement in LIS literature. Please maintain the quality.I am attaching the paper, highlighting the errors.

Thanks and sorry.

Dear Vishnu Sir,

It is necessary to edit properly before published any type of manuscripts.

I agree with you

The Name of the Journal on the SPLP website is written as "Journal of Information Managemet" (Not Management. How comic is this?

Good evaluation, Sir..
Its seems that still UGC has no strict guidelines about quality criteria of peer-reviewed approved journals.

We have also studied on list of UGC approved journals:

Thank you Sir for sharing such informative issues.......

Dear Vijendra Sir, I read your paper, which is mainly authored by Prof. Dinesh K Gupta. After the publication of your paper, UGC has changed the list of approved journals. And this process is still going on. I feel, every journal has to adopt the publication policy as adopted by journals like Annals (of LIS).
