Recently, I've received an acceptance for publishing my paper in an ISI enlisted Journal called Indian Journal of Science and Technology. Definitely, it's great.

How can I check the robustness of this journal? How much value will carry on it in academic world?

Can anyone help me, please?

    Check this before submitting, not after your paper is accepted. This habit can only result in troubles and lots of wasted time for you, the editor, and the referees. – Federico Poloni Jan 11 '16 at 14:41
  • Exactly, but I am new in this are. That's why too many questions in my mind and bothering all of you... – tisuchi Jan 11 '16 at 14:42
  • Nop... my question is different than your suggested question and answer... @Sathyam – tisuchi Jan 11 '16 at 14:49
  • @tisuchi Please read the question correctly. The author had given the list of journals en ISI – Sathyam Jan 11 '16 at 14:55
  • yes.. I read. My question is not whether above journal is an ISI or not. I am talking about the robustness of my mentioned journal. TQ @Sathyam – tisuchi Jan 11 '16 at 14:59
  • I strongly suggest you follow the advice in the marked duplicate and judge the quality and impact of the journal for yourself, rather than relying on indexing services. – ff524 Jan 11 '16 at 19:25
  • Are you sure this journal is ISI-listed? This journal does not seem to be in the ISI Journal Citation Reports, suggesting it isn't indexed. The Q scale, as the answer notes, is from SCImago, which is a different system. – Andrew is gone Jan 11 '16 at 20:13
  • ...and if it's not ISI-listed but claims it is, that's a pretty substantial red flag for its reliability/robustness – Andrew is gone Jan 11 '16 at 20:56
  • ohh... I see... But following link shows that this journal has enlisted with ISI ... Of course its not enlisted with Q Scale with ISI. @Andrew http://ip-science.thomsonreuters.com/cgi-bin/jrnlst/jlresults.cgi?PC=MASTER&Full=Indian%20Journal%20of%20Science%20and%20Technology – tisuchi Jan 12 '16 at 12:55
  • Interesting - so it's not in the JCR, but it is indexed in one of the subsidary Web of Science collections ("Zoological Record"). This is borderline and not entirely wrong to describe it that way, but it wouldn't be how I'd normally define "ISI-indexed" – Andrew is gone Jan 12 '16 at 17:12
  • Ohh.... Now it is clear to me. Thank you for your clarification. – tisuchi Jan 13 '16 at 15:40

Q scale could be found for known journals, within the SJR website...

As you can check here, this journal is a Q1 in 2014...

Best

  • Thank you. I saw this chart. But is that missing in 2015? It's SJR impact is 1.3. Does it good enough in-terms of evaluating my work? – tisuchi Jan 11 '16 at 14:40
  • It would be... The Q scale would often be computed sometime after the end of each year... You could, safely, consider the most up-to-date published Q scale for your further correspondences... –  Jan 11 '16 at 14:42
  • meaning... it has at least a good impact in academic world if it will be published in this journal, isnt it? – tisuchi Jan 11 '16 at 15:04
  • Yeah, It could be... Furthermore, you could be roughly sure that a Q1 journal in 2014 will not drop off, considerably, within the upcoming year... –  Jan 11 '16 at 15:13
  • Huh... that's really great.

    Thank you all for your valuable comments..
