RESEARCH PUBLICATION ASSESSMENT AND RATING METHODOLOGY


As millions of research journals and academic publications are available globally, most are genuine but some are misguiding authors regarding the Impact Factor Value, Listing Directories, Indexing Databases, Editorial Board Information, Average Citations, Journal Licencing, ISSN, DOI, etc. For any entry-level researcher, it is very difficult to identify the genuineness and integrity of journal publications. The Research Publication Rating and Indexing (RPRI) performs a 360 degree crystal-clear assessment of journals as per the various parameters and makes the assessment report available publicly.
The RPRI is an international board of experts from various disciplines globally that assesses research and academic publications and rates them. The RPRI journal assessment and rating is a transparent and globally trusted assessment and rating process. The RPRI also provides an international platform that provides aggregated and validated information regarding many research and academic publications. The RPRI Journal Assessment and Rating Board assess the journal quality from various parameters. The assessment is for 100 points on which basis the board decide the rating of the journal as journal RPRI Impact Factor.
The RPRI Assessment and Rating Board have its own unique, systematic, and scientific way of assessment methodology for the computation of the RPRI Journal Impact Factor. The RPRI Impact Factor (Maximum 10) = RPRI Assessment Marks (Out of 150) / 15.
