5. REQUIRED OUTPUT OF RESEARCH

No |
Publication |
Quantity |
MyRA Marks Obtained |
MyRA Section |
1 |
Indexed Journal |
1 |
0.0015 |
C1.a.i |
2 |
Non Indexed Journals |
1 |
0.0010 |
C1.c |
3 |
Research book |
1 |
0.0040 |
C1.d.i |
4 |
Chapter in research book |
1 |
0.0007 |
C1.d.ii |
For example :
2 indexed journals x 0.0015 = 0.003 mark; OR
3 non-indexed journals x 0.0010 = 0.003 mark; OR
1 research book x 0.0040 = 0.0040 mark; OR
5 chapters in research book x 0.0007 = 0.0035 mark;
OR any combination of the above to achieve the 0.003 MyRA mark.
b. Researchers should acknowledge all fellow research collaborators (minimum 1 active academic) and all sources of funding openly in any publication or publicity.
We look forward to receiving your applications and we wish you the very best of luck.
