What Are ABCD Index Journals?
ABCD Index Journals are research journals that are listed in the ABCD Index — a private academic indexing and ranking database. "ABCD" stands for Academic, Bibliographic, Citation, and Documentationindex. It is not a government or UGC-recognized body, but is widely used by some research scholars and institutions for visibility and classification.
How to Check If a Journal Is in ABCD Index
Go to: abcd index
Use the “Journal Search” feature.
Type the journal title or ISSN.
Review the category (A, B, C, D) and indexing details.
Not all ABCD-indexed journals are UGC CARE or Scopus-listed.
Check peer review quality and editorial board before submitting.
Always match the journal’s scope with your paper.
