Dear Ms. Shradhashes,

Thanks for your post. I'm sorry, I don't have Devanagari software and as such, I am writing in English.

As I understand, the NAAS has an approved list of nearly 2600 SCIENTIFIC Journals. Among which Library Science journals are not included as I suppose. But as a general norm for jobs in professional positions publications in Established/Recognised sources/organizations are always accepted as a preferable criterion for selection. When there were no such lists of recognised journals or when they were not mandatory, then also such activities were accepted as an important positive point of consideration in favour of a candidate.

For a Library professional, publication in recognised/reputed LIS Journals/Conference Proceedings/ books from recognised/reputed publishing houses are quite acceptable. Even Publication in recognised Scientific journals of repute get more consideration.

For example, say, for a post in a CSIR/ICAR institute for T.O (Library) among 17 sort listed candidates having publications in LIS journals, if any one or two have additionally some publications in even Indian Scientific Journals, like, say, "Current Science"/JSIR/EPW, on issues relevant to the research interests of the concerned institutes, certainly they will get preference over & above the others as it denotes that those individual(s) possess a better understanding of the subject of research IN ADDITION to his/her own field which the selection board always prefers. Because the selection committee will have an idea that the individuals will be in a better position to interact with the Scientists/Researchers.

Hope I could explain the issue to your satisfaction.

Sincerely,

Siddhartha S. Ray, Calcutta
