[BOAI] Re: NAAS Journal Rating

[Sridhar Gutam]

The Fellowships of the National Academy of Agricultural Sciences (NAAS) <
http://www.naasindia.org/> embody a wide range of national and international
scientists. Fellows are identified though a rigorous process of selection,
after nomination of potential scientists who have demonstrated excellence in
different areas of agricultural sciences. For the purpose of evaluation of
publications, given by the scientists, the Academy has earlier done an
exercise and identified the journals of standing relevant to agricultural
sciences. Each journal has been assessed and the relative weightage has also
been indicated by assigning appropriate marks to these journals. You can
access the criteria at <http://naasindia.org/rating.html>

Now again, the National Academy of Agricultural Sciences is in the process
of re-evaluating the NAAS Rating of Scientific Journals. Accordingly,
Association/Society publishing a scientific journal are requested to provide
the information related to their journal as per the attached proforma before
15th February 2010 to this office <http://naasindia.org/contactus.html>.

I invite all the Open Access Journal editors to submit the required
information to NAAS in the attached proforma. NAAS wish to have hard copies,
but Open Access Journals can mention their urls of issues. By this, I hope
that that many open access journals are rated which in turn will make all
the National Agricultrual Research System (NARS) scientists in India to
publish in Open Access Journals which will further strengthen the golden
open access movement in India.

NAAS had till dated rated about 1600 journals and that rating is being
adopted by NARS for scientists assessment and recruitment in India.

Thanks & Regards
