Study of the image of Indian journals on management and social sciences in the international academic community

Abstract

It is hypothesized that academic journals of noteworthy research content also have a high acceptance in the international academic community. Analysis of responses from the well known universities of the world reveals that Indian journals on social sciences except those on economics and industrial relations have a very poor acceptance outside India. This should give an impetus to social scientists to investigate whether Indian journals on social sciences excluding a few are really academically inferior.
