How do we recognize the particular journal is peer reviewed, Scopus, SCI and UGC approved or not? We have subscribed to over 150 journals out of which I have to find out how many journals are SCOPUS indexed, SCI indexed, UGC recognized and Peer Reviewed journals.
Help to find out?
Thanks in advance.

Dear Sri Ramesh G.
Thanks for your post.
You can proceed with following steps:
1. First prepare a subject wise alphabetical list of the journals you are subscribing. then prepare a table with heading like (a) UGC List Sl. No. (b) Scopus, (c) SCI/SSCI (d) Indian index/ (e) Peer Reviewed (f) remarks
2. Now internally, within your library itself, check the journals you are subscribing.
In most cases, if they are covered by international Indexing databases like Scopus/SCI/SSCI etc. the information is printed on the journals themselves. They also bear the name of Editor & list the editorial board members. As you find these information are available, you may 'tick mark' the respective columns in the list you have prepared.
3. Check these facts from the lists of journals of indexed by SCI/SSCI/Scopus from their respective websites.
4. Like wise check the UGC approved journals from the UGC website. Write down the Sl. No. in requisite box.
For Indian journals, there is an Indexing journal named GUIDE TO INDIAN PERIODICAL LITERATURE but it holds journals other than STEM subjects. It covers nearly 400 Indian journals. You can check from their list too and tick mark in respect box
If you proceed with proper planning, for 150 journals, at the most it will take five/six working days as I believe .
I hope I could explain the issue to your satisfaction.
Sincerely,
