UGC Suggested Parameters for Peer-Reviewed Journals
UGC Suggested Parameters for Peer-Reviewed Journals – Why rtpl is the Right Choice The University Grants Commission (UGC), a statutory Organization of the Government of India, has withdrawn the UGC-CARE Journal List and has instead provided Suggestive Parameters for Peer-Reviewed Journals to guide institutions in selecting quality academic publications. In alignment with these guidelines, we have meticulously assessed and ensured that Recent Trends in Programming languages meets all the recommended parameters set by UGC. This makes our journal a reliable choice for HEIs (Higher Educational Institutions) seeking a high-quality, peer-reviewed journal for their research. We have completed the UGC Journal Selection Parameters, fulfilling every criterion required for maintaining academic excellence. HEIs (Higher Educational Institutions) looking for a trusted journal in the higher education sector can confidently choose Recent Trends in Programming languages. At rtpl, every published article receives a Digital Object Identifier (DOI)—a permanent, unique link ensuring accessibility and citability. Much like an Aadhaar or Social Security Number for research, DOI enhances scholarly integrity and global recognition. For detailed information on the suggestive parameters, please refer to the tables below. Should you require further clarification, feel free to reach out to us at .
