Anna University Annexure 1 Journal List
The Anna University Annexure 1 journal list is associated with the Centre for Research (CFR) and provides journal information for applicable research scholars. The list can be used as a reference when evaluating journals for research-paper publication.
Before submitting your manuscript, verify the journal using its full journal title and ISSN. This is particularly important when journals have similar names, change publishers, or have undergone changes in their indexing or publication status.
Researchers should use the official CFR source as the primary reference when checking the Anna University CFR journal list. A journal appearing on an unofficial website, an old PDF or a third-party journal-list website should not by itself be treated as confirmation of its current eligibility.
Identify the complete journal title: Check the journal's official title rather than relying only on an abbreviation.
Check the ISSN: Compare the journal's ISSN with the corresponding entry in the applicable CFR journal list.
Check the publisher: Confirm that the publisher information corresponds with the journal you intend to submit to.
Check the applicable regulations: Publication requirements may depend on your programme, regulations and admission or registration period.
Verify the current CFR information: Use the latest applicable information published by Anna University's Centre for Research before submitting your manuscript.
Confirm the ISSN is real:Look up the ISSN at portal.issn.org, the official ISSN register. A journal whose ISSN returns no record, or returns a different title, is not the journal it claims to be — predatory journals copy the names of legitimate titles, but the ISSN is the one field they cannot duplicate.
Check it has not been discontinued:A journal can be on the Annexure list and have since been dropped from Scopus. Elsevier publishes its discontinued titles as a separate file from the main source list, so a journal passing the main list check can still have been removed. Check both, and note the date you checked.
What Is an Anna University Annexure 1 Journal?
An Anna University Annexure 1 journal is a journal included in the applicable Annexure 1 journal information published by the Centre for Research. Researchers should check the specific version of the list and the regulations applicable to them rather than assuming that every journal previously listed remains applicable indefinitely.
Many Annexure 1 titles are also
Scopus indexed journals
— worth checking before you submit.
Where Can I Find the Anna University CFR Journal List?
The Anna University Annexure I list is published by the Centre for Research (CFR)
at cfr.annauniv.edu.
Open the Research → Journals section, where the current Annexure I and
Annexure II lists are issued as PDFs. The CFR revises them without notice, so
check the issue date on the PDF against your submission date.
