The NCR technical belt and the agricultural universities
Paper Publication in Haryana — For PhD Scholars, Faculty & Researchers
Haryana splits into two quite different research economies. The NCR belt — Gurugram, Faridabad, Sonipat — produces management, computer science, automotive and manufacturing research tied to the industries there, while Hisar, Karnal and Kurukshetra anchor a long agricultural and dairy science tradition. Authors moving between the two often find that journal norms on data presentation and reporting standards differ more than they expected.
JMVRA is a Transparent, Peer-Reviewed, Open Access Journal (Refereed Journal). Following the discontinuation of UGC and UGC-CARE journal listing, JMVRA is aligned with UGC’s Suggested Parameters for Choosing Peer-Reviewed Journals. See how JMVRA meets each parameter.

What is actually available
Publication Routes Open to Authors in Haryana
Two of these are things JMVRA does. The other two are checks only you can run, at the official source, and neither costs anything.
| Route | What it is | Cost | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Submit to JMVRA | Open access, peer reviewed, ISSN 2984-8911 | ₹971 INR Indian · $41 USD international | Authors whose work fits the aims and scope |
| Check the current UGC position | Official UGC public notices, read at the source | No charge | Scholars whose university asks about UGC-CARE |
| Verify a Scopus claim | Scopus Sources database, searched by title or ISSN | No charge | Anyone told a journal is “Scopus indexed” |
| Check your institution’s rule | Your own university’s PhD ordinance or CAS criteria | No charge | Every author in Haryana, before choosing a journal |
What this page will not tell you. No journal, agency or intermediary can promise you acceptance in a Scopus, SCI, Web of Science or IEEE title, guarantee a publication date, or guarantee that a paper will satisfy your university. Anyone quoting a price to place your paper in a named indexed journal is selling something that reputable publishing does not offer — and that your own institution may treat as misconduct.
Verifiable, not promotional
Why Researchers in Haryana Publish with JMVRA
Every point below links to the policy page where you can check it for yourself.
Aligned with UGC’s Suggested Parameters
Following the discontinuation of UGC and UGC-CARE journal listing, JMVRA is aligned with UGC’s Suggested Parameters for Choosing Peer-Reviewed Journals. The UGC framework page sets out each parameter and how the journal meets it.
Peer reviewed before any decision
Every submission goes through the review process described on our peer review policy page. No manuscript is accepted without it.
Open access
Published articles are freely readable, with licensing and author rights set out on the copyright and open access pages.
Published ethics and plagiarism policies
The similarity threshold, the ethics framework and the misconduct procedure are all published in full, not summarised on request.
DOI registration for published articles
How DOIs are assigned and what metadata is registered is set out on the DOI page.
Charges payable after acceptance
Nothing is payable to have a manuscript reviewed. The charge applies once an article has been accepted, and the current amounts are shown on this page.
Identical process anywhere in Haryana
Submission and review run entirely online, so a scholar in a district town follows the same steps as one in a metro. There is no local office and no agent.
Six stages
The JMVRA Publication Process for Haryana Researchers
Check scope before you write
Read the aims and scope and two or three recent issues. Fit is decided by subject and quality, and it is far cheaper to establish before drafting than after.
Prepare the manuscript to the guidelines
Structure, word limits, reference style, figures and declarations are all specified in the author instructions. Formatting corrections at review stage cost weeks.
Run a similarity check
Bring the manuscript within the published threshold before submission, excluding references and standard phrases, and resolve any self-overlap with your own thesis.
Submit online
Upload through the official submission page with the correct author list, affiliations, corresponding author and all declarations. Author changes after submission are difficult to make.
Respond to peer review
Reviewers may ask for revision, and several rounds are normal. Answer every point specifically, including the ones you disagree with.
Acceptance and publication
On acceptance the charge becomes payable, the article is prepared for publication and a DOI is registered. No decision or date can be promised in advance.
The same everywhere in India
Publication Charges for Authors in Haryana
There is no separate rate for Haryana. The publication charge is ₹971 INR for Indian authors and $41 USD for international authors, and it becomes payable only after a manuscript has been accepted. Nothing is charged to submit or to have a paper reviewed.
Before you pay anything to any journal, confirm the amount on that journal’s own charges page, confirm when it falls due, and keep the receipt if you intend to claim reimbursement from your institution. See payment options and publication charges.
The current framework
UGC CARE & the New Framework — What It Means in Haryana
UGC discontinued the UGC-CARE journal listing by public notice dated 3 October 2024 (584th UGC Meeting), replacing it with Suggested Parameters for Choosing Peer-Reviewed Journals. There is therefore no current CARE list for any journal to appear on — what exists now is a set of published parameters against which a journal is assessed.
JMVRA is a Transparent, Peer-Reviewed, Open Access Journal (Refereed Journal). Following the discontinuation of UGC and UGC-CARE journal listing, JMVRA is aligned with UGC’s Suggested Parameters for Choosing Peer-Reviewed Journals. Each parameter, and the evidence for it, is set out on our UGC 2026 framework page — transparent peer review, declared editorial board, published ethics and plagiarism policy, open access licensing, ISSN 2984-8911, DOI registration and disclosed publication charges.
Many institutions in Haryana still phrase their PhD and promotion requirements in UGC-CARE terms, so you may still be asked about it. What to do in practice:
- Ask your own university first. The requirement that binds you is in your institution’s PhD ordinance or CAS criteria, not in a general rule. Get it in writing.
- Read UGC notices at the source. Use the official UGC public notices rather than a third-party page reproducing an old list. Our UGC CARE list of journals page reproduces the historic list and embeds the original notices for reference.
- Judge any journal against the parameters. Peer review model, editorial board, ethics policy, licensing, ISSN and disclosed charges are exactly what UGC now asks you to look at — and they are checkable on any journal’s own site in a few minutes.
- Search by ISSN, not by name. Journal titles are widely cloned. The ISSN is the identifier that matters.
- Treat unsolicited offers as a warning. An email promising placement in a named journal for a fee is not an opportunity. See how to spot a cloned or predatory journal.

How to check it yourself
Scopus Journal Verification for Authors in Haryana
A Scopus logo on a journal website is not evidence of anything. Verification takes about two minutes and you should run it yourself for every journal you are considering, wherever in Haryana you are based:
- Open the official Scopus Sources database at scopus.com/sources.
- Search by ISSN first, then by exact title. A cloned journal will often match on title but not on ISSN.
- Check the coverage years. A title can have been indexed once and discontinued since — that matters to your institution.
- Check whether coverage is marked as discontinued, and why.
- Keep a dated screenshot of what you found, for your own records.
Our guide to what a Scopus journal actually is explains CiteScore, SJR and SNIP, and the Web of Science quartile guide covers Q1 to Q4. Scopus and Web of Science are commercial databases run by Elsevier and Clarivate, separate from UGC and from its Suggested Parameters — so check any journal’s coverage in them for yourself, at the source, rather than relying on a claim from anyone.

Popular questions and answers
FAQs — Paper Publication in Haryana
These visible answers also power the FAQ structured data on this page.
Do private universities in Haryana have different publication requirements?
Frequently, yes. Private, state and central institutions each set their own research ordinances. Ask your research section for the document, not for a verbal figure.
How should agricultural field-trial work be reported?
Follow the reporting standards the journal names in its author guidelines — replication, site and season details, and statistical treatment are usually specified. Incomplete reporting is a common reason for rejection at review.
I am in Gurugram and work in industry. Can I publish without an academic affiliation?
Yes. State your affiliation accurately as it is, declare any funding or employer interest, and get written clearance for any proprietary data.
Does JMVRA have an office or representative in Haryana?
No. JMVRA operates online only. Manuscript submission, peer-review correspondence, corrections and the published article are all handled through the website, and authors anywhere in Haryana use exactly the same process. Anyone claiming to be a local office or agent is not acting for us.
What is JMVRA's status under the new UGC framework?
JMVRA is a Transparent, Peer-Reviewed, Open Access Journal (Refereed Journal). Following the discontinuation of UGC and UGC-CARE journal listing, JMVRA is aligned with UGC's Suggested Parameters for Choosing Peer-Reviewed Journals. The UGC public notice, and how the journal meets each parameter, are set out in full on our UGC framework page.
How do I verify a journal's Scopus coverage?
Search the exact ISSN, then the exact title, on the official Scopus Sources database at scopus.com/sources, and check the coverage years and whether coverage has been discontinued. Run this check for every journal you are considering — a Scopus logo on any website, including a journal's own, is not evidence of coverage.
How many papers do I need before submitting my PhD thesis in Haryana?
There is no single national figure. The requirement is set by your own university under the UGC regulations applicable to your admission year, and it differs between universities and between batches at the same university. Ask your research section for the ordinance that governs your registration, in writing.
