A study on the indexing concepts and its benefits in research publication
An index is essentially a roadmap. Indexing is a way to optimize the performance of a database by minimizing the number of disk accesses required when a query is processed. Indexing is essential to the reputation, accessibility and consequently, it impacts the journal articles. Many scholars prioritize referencing and submitting to journals that are included in leading indexes because indexing is a marker of journal quality. This a study focusing on the indexing concepts and its benefits in research publication.

A study on the concepts of indexing and its benefits to research
Indexing is a database of higher scientific journals having a good track record of maintaining the ethics and quality in terms of publication. It is the process of creating indexes for record collections. Having indexes allows researchers to more quickly find records for specific individuals; without them, researchers might have to look through hundreds or thousands of records to locate an individual record. It also represents a number referring to a list of terms, definitions, topics, etc. arranged in alphabetical order in order to efficiently guide the readers to the desired information within the content. Indexing facilitates the organization of literature in such a manner that makes the document of interest easily identifiable by the readers. Indexing journals are considered to have a higher quality when compared to non-indexed journals. It is a collection of information stored on a computer or on a set of cards in alphabetical order and hence it helps the reader find information quickly and easily. A useful index is considered as a list of words and phrases used in a publication and is also an organized map of contents, including cross-references, a grouping of like concepts, and other intellectual analysis. The purpose of indexing is to have faster learning, acknowledgment, prominence of persons, subjects, etc. A professional index must act as a liaison between the text and its ultimate user. The study is focused on the concepts of indexing and its benefits to research.

Analyzing the QoS metrics of DSR
Mobile ad hoc networks have gained light in recent years and provide significant scope for research. Its various aspects considered for research include routing, bandwidth limitations, packet delivery ratio, etc. Researchers have proposed numerous routing algorithms for ad hoc networks among which, the DSR protocol is one effective protocol designed for MANETs. This protocol is highly adaptive to the topological changes in a network during data transmission, which enables the network to be self-configuring and self-organizing irrespective of the existent infrastructure. This paper explores the underlying concepts of the DSR protocol and analyzes its performance, along with a brief introduction to the wireless networks and routing protocols.

Indian student’s awareness and need for help to use open access journals
This study is undertaken to evaluate the awareness and utilization of open access journals amongst Indian students. It was conducted amongst 44 participants belonging to the Bangalore and Chennai region. The results show us that awareness is high & a large number of students access open access journals to do their research assignments. Most importantly a large majority of students expressed that it would be beneficial if their teachers helped them with information to use open access journals.

A study on the history of indexing in India
A study on indexing extends to a wide arena of the process of publication, citation, information retrieval, information storage, and knowledge management as a whole. The following research is inspired by the culture & practice of valuing knowledge in India. The study has been done on the backdrop of the evidence that historians provide about the rich knowledge and advancements that India contained during ancient times. Invasions and colonializations have, to a great extent been an impetus in its loss along with the passage of time and generations. The study here has been a product of extensive reading, analysis, and research into ancient knowledge and its management systems. The findings and observations have been presented in the order of the eras in Indian history. The evidence collected from the first-hand sources adds more value to the observations.

Design and estimation of Intze tank
Water tanks are very significant components of a lifeline. The design should be based on the worst possible combination of loads, moments, and shears arising from vertical loads and horizontal loads acting on it. They are grave elements in municipal water supply, fire fighting systems, and many Industrial amenities for the storage of water. From the very upsetting experiences of few earthquakes in India, RCC elevated water tanks were profoundly damaged or collapsed. This might be due to the lack of knowledge regarding the proper behavior of a supporting system of the tank. The main aim of this study is to understand the significance of considering earthquake loads in design & the behavior of different staging under different loading conditions type of staging to give an enhanced performance during an earthquake.
