Dear SriAtul R. Sidurkar,
Thanks for your post.
To start with, I should admit that I have no idea whether you require the information for
(A) Entirely academic purpose (like for purpose of Bibliometric Studies) or
(B) For practical purpose (for selection of Journals for Subscription)
For item (A), you can consult JCR (journal Citation Report) related to SSCI and on the basis of ranking you can easily identify the top ranking journals on the basis of their Impact factors.
If your requirement falls in the Category (B) It is a bit critical and requires a small assessment of your requirements
As you might be knowing that importance or rather relevance of journals depends upon the purpose of acquiring them. The assessment of requirement becomes more intense for Foreign Journals as they are costly and expenditure of Foreign Currency is involved.
For Indian Journals, As I believe, the top ranking journal is EPW. Since it is not a peer reviewed journal it is not covered by any international Indexing/Abstracting/Citation databases. The other Indian Journals are
Indian Journal of Social work,
Contributions to Indian Sociology,
Indian Journal of Labour economics
Indian Economic & Social history Review
IASSI Quarterly
Social Action
Indian Economic Journal
Ageing & Society
Agricultural Situations in India
Indian Economic Review
journal of Indian school of Political economy
Mainstream
review of Development & Change
Sarvekshana
Studies in History
Social scientist
Seminar
Yojona
Social Action
Social Change
Bengal past & Present
Among Foreign Journals:
Americal Sociological Review
American Political Science Review
American Economic Review (All sections)
JEL Journal of Economic Literature
Journal of Economic Perspective
Economica
Econometrica
Journal of Development Economics
World Development
Population & Development Review
Journal of Peasant Studies
Industrial & labour Relation Review
American Historical Review
Madieval History
History & Theory
Oxford Economic Papers
Rand Journal of Economics
Journal of Agrarian Change
Review of Economic Studies
Economic Journal
Journal of Banking & Finance
journal of Econometrics
Journal of Euroean Economic Association
World Bank Economic Review
Journal of Monetary Economics
journal of Money Credit & Banking
& many more
But first of all, you have to decide the focii of activities of your institutes and then you may search some bibliometric databases ( say, for instance, like Econlit, Sociological Abstracts & British Humanities Index etc.) and you can have the most productive journals in the areas of interests of your institutional workers.
I hope I could clarify your query.
Sincerely,
Siddhartha S. Ray
