This article is simultaneously published in about 22 journals, but since we came across it first in the Indian Pediatrics, we have chosen this citation to share this article. The article covers five areas where the MCI has issued guidelines and made practical suggestions for each area – a) Where should the journals be indexed, b) Types of articles that would be considered, c) Better understanding of the terms – National and International journals, d) Authorship and e) E-Journals – clarifying what should be acceptable and what cannot – eg – predatory journals. We do hope that the MCI accepts the revisions suggested, as they have been documented with lots of thoughts and discussions.
