Journal Scoring by NAAS: System for Evaluating Agricultural Research Publications

Journal Scoring by NAAS

Journal Scoring by the National Academy of Agricultural Sciences (NAAS) is a rigorous system designed to evaluate agricultural research journals. It provides a transparent framework to assess the quality and impact of published scientific work.:


The National Academy of Agricultural Sciences (NAAS) plays a vital role in promoting agricultural research, education, and innovation in India. As a think tank, NAAS provides a platform for scientists to address key issues in agriculture and supports excellence in the field through its Fellowship and Associateship programs.

Why Journal Scoring Matters:

NAAS recognizes the importance of research publications in evaluating nominees for its prestigious Fellowships and Associateships. To ensure a fair and transparent assessment, the Academy developed a system to score scientific journals. This scoring mechanism helps evaluate the quality of research publications consistently across various scientific disciplines.

Categories of NAAS Journal Scoring:

Category I: Journals with Impact Factor:

Journals with a Clarivate (formerly Thomson Reuters) Impact Factor are scored using the formula:

NAAS Score = 6.00 + Impact Factor (capped at 20.00).

Category II: Journals without Impact Factor:

Journals without an Impact Factor are scored based on information provided by publishers and the evaluation of their scientific content.

Scoring Criteria for Nominees:

A. Fellowship of the Academy:

  • Maximum Score: 50 marks.
  • Publications Considered: The 40 most significant research papers, excluding reviews and review articles.
  • Scoring Formula: NAAS Score for each publication = 6.00 + Impact Factor (capped at 20.00).
  • Authorship Rules:
    • First and corresponding authors receive full marks.
    • Co-authors receive 75% of the marks.
  • Final Calculation: Total NAAS Score of all 40 publications is multiplied by 0.125, capped at 50 marks.

B. Associateship of the Academy:

  • Maximum Score: 60 marks.
  • Publications Considered: The 20 most significant research papers, excluding reviews and review articles.
  • Scoring Formula: NAAS Score for each publication = 6.00 + Impact Factor (capped at 20.00).
  • Authorship Rules:
    • First and corresponding authors receive full marks.
    • Co-authors receive 75% of the marks.
  • Final Calculation: Total NAAS Score of all 20 publications is multiplied by 0.3, capped at 60 marks.

How Journal Scoring Helps:

The NAAS journal scoring system ensures uniformity in evaluating research publications. It serves as a valuable tool for:

  • Identifying high-quality journals.
  • Recognizing impactful research contributions.
  • Maintaining transparency in the selection process for NAAS programs.
