We help you prepare your own research paper for a UGC-CARE listed journal, in English, Hindi, Marathi, Punjabi or another Indian language, to that journal's stated format.

The UGC-CARE list is maintained by the University Grants Commission through its Consortium for Academic and Research Ethics. For many years Indian scholars used it to choose credible journals for PhD, promotion and recruitment purposes. Our UGC-CARE manuscript support helps you prepare a well-structured, correctly referenced paper in the language of your research, whether English or an Indian language. You keep authorship of every line.
Many UGC-CARE journals are published by Indian universities, societies and departments, often in Hindi or regional languages. Their guidelines can be brief, and each journal has its own habits. We study the journal, edit your draft, standardise references and check for problems such as unattributed text. Rules from UGC and universities change, so we always suggest checking current requirements with your own university.
UGC set up CARE in 2019 to identify and maintain a reference list of quality journals, replacing the earlier UGC-approved journal list. The list had Group I, journals found through the CARE review process, and Group II, journals indexed in major global databases such as Scopus and Web of Science. It was used across humanities, social sciences, languages, arts, science and professional fields.
UGC policy on the list has changed since then, and universities now apply their own rules for research publications. That is why the first step in UGC-CARE manuscript support is to confirm what your university currently requires. After that, the work is about preparing a careful paper: sound structure, accurate citations, correct language and the journal's format.
We edit papers in Hindi, Marathi, Punjabi and other Indian languages, with correct grammar, standard terminology and consistent spelling of technical words.
Where guidelines are brief, we study recent issues to match heading style, length, abstract format and reference layout the journal actually uses.
We help you extract one clear research question from your thesis chapter and shape it into a short paper with proper structure.
We check that every borrowed idea, quotation and table is cited, which matters for DrillBit or Turnitin checks run by universities.
We format reference lists that mix Hindi and English sources consistently, including transliteration or translation of titles where needed.
We remind you to confirm with your university research cell which journals and indexes count, since UGC and university policies have changed.
Ten stages, each with a clear output. Nothing moves to the next stage until you have reviewed the last one.
— You review every stage first, then decide —
Your university's current publication requirement is known before the journal is chosen.
The journal's details, ISSN and publisher are checked against official listings and its website.
The paper answers one research question instead of summarising a whole thesis.
Grammar, spelling and terms are correct and consistent in the chosen language.
Every quotation, idea, table and figure from another source is properly cited.
Layout, Unicode fonts, references and file type all match the journal's stated instructions.
Every stage is shared with notes explaining what was changed and why. You and your supervisor check it, and the next stage starts only after your go-ahead.
| Common problem | How Shodhyantri helps |
|---|---|
| Choosing a journal from an old list without checking current university rules. | Ask your research cell or supervisor which journals and indexes count today, and keep their reply with your records. |
| Submitting a whole thesis chapter of forty pages as one paper. | Select one objective and its findings, shorten the background and keep the paper within the journal's usual length. |
| Hindi papers typed in legacy fonts such as Kruti Dev that break on other computers. | Convert the text to Unicode fonts such as Mangal or Noto Sans Devanagari so the journal can open and typeset it correctly. |
| Quoting long passages from books without quotation marks or page numbers. | Put direct quotes in quotation marks with page numbers, keep them short, and paraphrase the rest in your own words with citation. |
| Reference list mixing Hindi and English entries in different formats. | Apply one style to all entries and decide whether Hindi titles are given in Devanagari, transliteration or with English translation. |
| Abstract written as a general essay with no objective or findings. | State the objective, method, sample, main findings and conclusion in a short paragraph, in the journal's required language. |
Policies on UGC-CARE and indexed journals have changed; ask your university to confirm current requirements before you submit.
Compare the journal's ISSN, title and publisher with official records; cloned journal websites with similar names do exist.
Unicode fonts keep Devanagari, Gurmukhi and other scripts readable on any device and in any typesetting system.
Choose standard Hindi or Marathi terms for technical words and use them consistently, adding the English term in brackets once.
Most listed journals publish papers of a few thousand words; focus on one objective and a clear conclusion.
Cite original books, reports and articles, not class notes or unnamed websites, to strengthen credibility with editors.
Run or request a similarity check before submission so you can fix unattributed passages yourself, calmly and properly.
Be cautious of anyone promising quick acceptance in a listed journal for a fee; genuine journals use peer review.
Your work is handled by people who read your field's literature, not by a single generalist.
A PhD-qualified specialist from your field who checks the research logic, gap and contribution.
Handles statistics, models and qualitative coding, and documents every analytical decision.
Improves structure, flow, clarity and academic tone without changing your meaning.
Builds and validates MATLAB, Python, ANSYS or COMSOL work where your study needs it.
Checks grammar, consistency, numbering, citations and the small errors examiners notice.
Applies your university or journal template, reference style and front matter exactly.
UGC's approach to the CARE list has changed, and universities now apply their own criteria for research publications. Rules can differ between institutions. Please confirm with your university's research cell or supervisor which journals count for your purpose before you submit.
Yes. We edit papers in Hindi, Marathi, Punjabi and other Indian languages, including grammar, spelling, standard terminology and consistent style. We also help with English abstracts and keywords if the journal requires them, keeping both versions consistent in meaning.
No. Each journal decides through its own review process, and no honest service can promise acceptance. Be careful of offers that guarantee publication for payment. We help you prepare a clear, correctly cited and properly formatted paper, which is the part you control.
No. The paper must remain your own work. We help you choose what to include, restructure your content, edit the language, format references and review similarity. You revise and approve every change, so you can present and defend the paper confidently.
We review your similarity report, point out passages that need proper citation or rewording in your own words, and guide you through the revision. We never promise a specific percentage and do not use methods that hide copied text, because those put your degree at risk.
Compare the journal's title, ISSN, publisher and website address against official records and the publisher's own site. Look for differences in contact details and payment requests. If anything does not match, do not submit, and ask us or your supervisor to help verify.
It varies. Many use APA, some use MLA for languages and literature, and others have house styles. Where guidelines are unclear, we follow the format used in the journal's recent issues and apply it consistently throughout your paper.
We provide research guidance, statistical analysis, editing, formatting and training support. All research content remains the scholar's own work, in line with UGC and university academic integrity norms. We do not guarantee publication, acceptance, indexing or academic outcomes: journals decide through peer review and universities award degrees.
