Thank you Sir for raising an important problem, i agree with most of your points. Of course by putting a word "INTERNATIONAL" in the title of a journal it can not be of international repute and scope, but in a Knowledge Society there are no boundaries for research and scholarly information and the criteria to divide the journals into indian and foreign is also not the solution of this problem. The situation in other developing countries may be worsen than India, and people may publish there, and their publication will be treated as published in foreign journal. There should be well defined criteria developed by an authority like UGC or AIU, acceptable at national level on the basis of various parameters of quality and not on the basis of merely ISSN or "The International" or "Foreign".

Thanks

Dear Sir,

first thanks for your very forward & stright  article  

I agree with your very informative & true opinion  on Journals publication 

really everyone must think on this topic most of our professionals publish this type of commercial Journals, published commercial books on NET/ SET exam, Edited books only for getting money means commercial purpose, mostly this type of journals or edited books author doing this unethical works for API 

so these type of Journals & books authors & Editors & Editorial boards members must self analysis are they doing ethical ? really are they support to increase research Standard of  our subject as well as indian education system?

I think such types of Journals editors, papers authors, Book editors doing unethical works also decrease the standard of our Subject Research as well as  nations position in world  research  

pl. every indian mostly peoples in education system must  think why Harvard University and University of Oxford,  ranking No. 1 & 2 in the world

due to this type of unethical, commercial purpose  mushroom  authors & editors 

any Indian University is not in top 300 universities in the world as per Times Higher Education Universities  World Ranking 2013-2014

pl. see link http://www.timeshighereducation.co.uk/world-university-rankings/201...

Thanking you,

Regards
