*Wherever relevant to any specific discipline, the API score for paper in refereed journal

would be augmented as follows: (i) indexed journals – by 5 points; (ii) papers with impact

factor between 1 and 2 by 10 points; (iii) papers with impact factor between 2 and 5 by

15 points; (iv) papers with impact factor between 5 and 10 by 25 points.

** If a paper presented in Conference/Seminar is published in the form of Proceedings,

the points would accrue for the publication (III (a)) and not under presentation (III (e)(ii)).

Notes.

1. It is incumbent on the Coordination Committee proposed in these Regulations and the

University to prepare and publicize within six months subject-wise lists of journals, periodicals and

publishers under categories IIIA and B. Till such time, screening/selection committees will assess

and verify the categorization and scores of publications.

2. The API for joint publications will have to be calculated in the following manner: Of the total

score for the relevant category of publication by the concerned teacher, the first/Principal author

and the corresponding author/supervisor/mentor of the teacher would share equally 60% of the

total points and the remaining 40% would be shared equally by all other authors.
