NIRF v/s global ranking: NIRF better in terms of transparency

According to library and information science expert, India's National Institutional Ranking Framework is better when compared to the global ranking systems. It is better in terms of transparency as not much weightage is given to the perception. "In India we are doing a better exercise in the sense that our transparency is 100 per cent. Every data that we have is displayed and people can see that data. If two private universities are competitors then they can talk about each other's data and that way it is transparent," Jagdish Arora, Director of Information and Library Network (INFLIBNET) Centre said. Information and Library Network (INFLIBNET) is the center which is involved in the data capture of various institutes who participate in the NIRF.Arora was preset on the occasion of the '33rd annual convention of the Society for Information Science', "Open Access: Road to Freedom" and when questioned about the NIRF and other popular global ranking systems he said that Indian version does not give much preference to the perception. "We do not give much weight age to perception. You go for QSA World University Ranking or the Times Higher Education ranking, perception is heavy... for QS perception is about 40 per cent," he said. " The perception is something which can be played with. You have a West Bengal State University and you have Calcutta University (CU)... so when the West Bengal University was formed... half of the colleges came under it. And those colleges have very low enrollment because people know CU. So this is perception. We give attention to peer perception... the experts The perception is something which can be played with.

The INFLIBNET also in charge of hosting the portal named 'Shodhgana', a portal for the research students where they can deposit their Ph.D. thesis so that they can be made available for open access to the entire scholar community.When asked about the risks of plagiarism, Arora said, open access also makes it easier to detect it."Plagiarism is happening for ages. When resources such as research articles are available openly, it is easier to copy but then it is much easier to detect when it is available openly."
