A list of Indian journals, especially from disciplines of Arts, Humanities, Languages, Culture and Indian Knowledge Systems is being prepared and updated quarterly (UGC-CARE Group I). The UGC-CARE List includes journals from all disciplines indexed in globally accepted databases, such as indexed in Scopus (Source list) or Web of Science (Arts and Humanities Citation Index Source Publication, Science Citation Index Expanded Source Publication, Social Science Citation Index Source Publication). These journals are to be considered for all academic purposes. Journals indexed in Scopus and / or Web of Science are part of UGC-CARE List Group II.

Review

This submission, titled "ABET on UGC CARE list," presents an abstract that primarily focuses on detailing the establishment, purpose, and structure of the University Grants Commission's Consortium for Academic and Research Ethics (UGC-CARE) in India. The abstract effectively outlines UGC-CARE's mandate to enhance research quality, its role in preparing and updating a list of quality journals, and the current two-group classification system (Group I for journals qualified via UGC-CARE protocols and Group II for those indexed in globally recognized databases like Scopus or Web of Science). It also clarifies that these groups are not hierarchical. While the abstract provides a clear and concise overview of the UGC-CARE list, its most significant drawback lies in its complete disconnect from the provided title. The title "ABET on UGC CARE list" suggests an exploration of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) and its potential inclusion, influence, or relationship with the UGC-CARE framework. However, the abstract contains no mention whatsoever of ABET, its standards, or any connection it might have to the UGC-CARE initiative. This omission is critical, rendering the abstract fundamentally misaligned with the purported subject of the paper as indicated by the title. To resolve this major inconsistency, a substantial revision is required. If the paper genuinely intends to discuss "ABET on UGC CARE list," the abstract must be rewritten to introduce ABET, explain its relevance, and elaborate on its connection to the UGC-CARE list. Conversely, if the paper's actual content is confined solely to the description of the UGC-CARE list as presented in the abstract, then the title is profoundly misleading and should be immediately revised to accurately reflect the paper's scope, perhaps to something like "Understanding the UGC-CARE List: A Quality Mandate for Indian Academia." Without this alignment, the current submission suffers from a severe lack of coherence between its title and summary.
