How to start a Journal in India? Legal/Government Procedures
Dear Amitesh, the requirements depend on many aspects. Contributors normally look for a Journals which has ISSN number. Hence you might need it. If you are looking for being indexed then ISSN helps. As far as my knowledge goes online journal does not come under RNI hence that number may not be required. If you more specific questions feel free to ask.
sir, few of my friends are planning to bring up a online virtual magazine, and it has business aspects. so could you please guide me the legal procedures and what all step i need to follow... regards aditya
I would like to start a Science ejournal. Please tell me what are the legal procedures to do before starting a ejournal in science, if any. Thanking you.
Dear Aditya from what I know a virtual magazine does not come under Press and Broadcast Act. Hence you do not need to follow any legal procedures, if you are not having any print editions.
Dear Anonymous Ejournals do not come under the existing P&B Act. Hence you do not need to follow any legal procedures. However, i suggest that you apply for ISSS number. Form for this is available on NISCAIR website: http://nsl.niscair.res.in/issn.jsp. I also suggest that you release the journal under creative commons licence BY NC SA. For more details on this licence you can access creative commons website.
It is better to host on OJS platfrom. In fact INFLIBNET allows you host it freely on its site. All the best.
Thanking you for your useful information. In fact, is that ISSN or ISSS? I am sorry. I am aware of the creative commons license and I plan to release the journal under that license only. Thank you again.
I'm an Assistant Professor in MBA institute & interested in starting a management journal(international). As per my knowledge following are the basic requirements: 1) Applying for ISSN 2) Website Creation 3) Editorial Team (I really dont know how to approach people from international universities) Please suggest me further (on above point too because thats the only thing i know till now)
I am Manas Dowlani a student of GLC Mumbai and am trying to start a journal. We have got few good articles and research papers. I hope I can talk to you in detail on assistance on legal terms as currently I am still in pre-law and unaware of the legal complications.
I would request if you could mail me @ manasdowlani@yahoo.com and if we could exchange numbers to fasten the discussions. :)
Dear Sapna, Your steps are correct. But if you want to get a print edition, then i suggest you also apply for RNI no. A lot of journals do publish without it, it can pose some problems in a distant future.
As for international editors, it's not a must but if you would like to enhance the image of the journal it helps. Good scholars normally agree to be on the board, if you have personal contact. What you could do is to approach international scholars you meet in seminars to come on board.
An important task to make a journal quality based is to get it indexed by various agencies, like proquest. Ebsco, depending on the discipline of your journal.
Hi Anil, your blogspot is indeed first of it kind, and when i read through it, I have found it really informative and useful for upcoming scientific professionals. I would like to obtain your guidance regarding publishing of online scientific journal. It would be of great help if you could provide your e-mail address and we could exchange information through e-mails.
Its my long back wish too start weekly science magazine but i have no idea to start and procedures to follow, it will be great if you guide me on this.
Dear Sir, few of my friends are planning to start a e-magazine (in pdf format), monthly. hope there is no such regulations and registrations for that type of magazine. and we plans its a private circulation... is there any other procedures to complete to start this? pls help us...
From what I know the present P&B Act does not cover online magazines. It only covers printed periodicals. Hence, you would not need RNI registration. However, you could apply for ISSN no. Which is a hassle free process and normally they respond in 3-5 days. All the best for your initiative.
BTW ISSN no is not mandatory for any publication. But if your readership really increases phenomenally international agencies might be interested in indexing it. ISSN no helps them to index it.
Dear Sasi the link in the this post gives some directions. If you can be specific with your doubts I might be able to answer them. If you have strong desire, I suggest you pursue it.
Dear mr anil Me and my friend want to start a ejournal in IT. We have completed our website & now we are applying for ISSN no. Want to confirm regarding the issn volume no & Issue no? How to give papers volume and issue nos? I am confused about this.
Dear Sandeep, ISSN no has nothing to do with Volume or issue. It remains constant. The first issue you publish will be VOL I and Issue I (sometimes called No 1. VOL refers to year in publication. For example, A journal started in 2011 will bear the volume no 2 for all issues published this in 2012 and vol 3 for all issues published in 2013. Issue no refers to the no of times a journal is published in that volume year. For example, a half yearly will have two issues in a year. The first one will be called either issue 1 or no 1. The second one will be called Issue 2 or no 2.
I am Prof. Rinal Shah. Our Institute is planning to start a new peer-reviewed Management journal in print form as of now. I don't know any kind of process for the same. Kindly seeking for your detailed guidance on rinalshah211@yahoo.com
Dear Rinal Shah, You could go through the links and the comments in the following posts. My responses to various question address quite a few issues. Having gone through, if you have any ideas I will be happy to respond. http://academicpublication.blogspot.in/2012/01/how-to-start-journal-in-india.html
Thank You for sharing this useful information with us. We are planning to launch a E-journal and was concerned is there is any other registration needed apart from the ISSN registration, For example, the do we need to register our website anywhere so that it's comes under a set of registered organization kind of a thing??? Also are there more legal aspects with respect to starting a journal??
A response will be greatly appreciated. You can also mail me at editor.irjc@gmail.com
Thanks for providing a nice platform. I am a Management Faculty wanting to start series of Online Journals in 4 areas. However, i wish to know the following: - 1. Is ISSN number a must 2. Is it legally fit to have just an online version and not the printed version 3. Is it mandatory to have an RNI number for Print version and what is the process for the same 4. Can an individual start the Journal or a society needs to be constituted for the same? 5. Are there certain other tax related problems which might come p in due course?

1. No. But it is a must if you want your journal to be indexed. It is like a postal address for the journal. Gives identity beyond the name 2. From what I know yes. 3. As per P&B Act 1860 RNI registration in mandatory for print periodicals. But most journals in India, even some of the reputed ones do not have. 95% there is no chance of any legal issues. 4. Individual can start 5. Not sure about this. But if you are going for a subscription model there might be tax implications.
Thanks for such a platform. However, i wish to know if an ISSN number can be obtained before the first Issue is released or not? Also, do i need to get the website registered or not? One more question is what is the fee charged for bringing out a Journal and also it is charged Volume wise or issue wise
Dear Sir, Thank you for your wonderful service. Sir, I like to start International Research Journal Print. Any exemption for RNI number. Because I planned micro level. Please reply Sir. Thank you.
Dear Sir, Really you are great and wonderful service for our academic community. I salute your nonprofit service. Sir one doubt, any legal exception for RNI in International Research Journal Print. Sir I am also like to add your name in our journal advisory board. I will contact by e-mail. Please reply. Thank you so much.
Dear sir, I am doing doctorate degree from IITD, could you please guide me how to get an ISSN number and whats is basic requirement.
I know there is an office in delhi for applying ISSN, but on what criteria they provide. Could you please tell me the procedure step by step. Please reply on r_pachori2006@rediffmail.com
*If anyone else can help me, i will really appreciate, thanks
This link has the answers. Please go to the last FAQ on the page for your question. NISCAIR is efficient. You should get the no within three days to a week.
Respected Sir, I started publishing a magazine.....but after getting a govt job I just left it. Now I want to continue publishing it. Please guide me as if there is any legal hurdle being a govt. employee.Otherwise please help and suggest me a way to publish it. I am also having a registered NGO. I don't need to earn from the magazine but just want to publish it.

One more question is what is the fee charged for bringing out a Journal and also it is charged Volume wise or issue wise
Dear Anonymous, ISSN can be obtained before publishing the first issue. You need not register the website. ISSN does not charge fee for bringing out journal in India, thanks to the proactive attitude of Govt of India. But other parts of the world one pays. When it is charged from what i know its one time fee
I want to open a bank account in the name of my e-journal. I want to charge from authors as publication fee. How an individual can start a bank account in the name of their journal? What are the legal formalities behind it
Thanks for sharing such useful information as a non profit service. I wish to know that if series of Journals are started, separate ISSN nos need to be obtained or not? Also, they can be registered in the name of the same society? Can the bank account be in the name of the Society if i charge the authors for the submission?
Dear Sir, I am a young Assistant Professor (Ph.D.,) at an institution.I would like to start educational institutions. e.g. nursery school to college. I have no idea to make this as business. I would like to contribute something to our society. Kindly let me know what are the legal procedures involved in starting a nursery school/College. Honestly I do not have any source or political influences to make the things happen easily.
Sir. i am working as assistant professor at SPKM MBA college jetpur and my interested to start Management Journal in Print form and so i require step procedure of it starting from registration to website etc hence can you please reply me at my email id at balithapliyal@gmail.com
dear balithapliyal kindly check the following link and the comments in this post. http://academicpublication.blogspot.in/2012/01/how-to-start-journal-in-india.html

Dear Prof. Pinto, Our college is intending to start an international print journal. I am doing background research regarding all the requisite formalities.
I was reading your blog which gives extremely useful information regarding starting a journal/magazine in India. Many of my questions have already been answered through the blog comments. There are however just 2 specific questions - 1. I tried looking up the creative commons license you have mentioned. I am not able to understand it's significance for the print journal and whether it is mandatory. 2. Is there additional formality required (over and above ISSN, RNI & International Editorial board) for the journal to be declared 'International'?
I would be very grateful if you could respond to my query.
Dear Prof. Sampada Peshwe, here are the clarifications. 1. Creative commons is not a mandatory licence. It is to do with copyright. In general unless explicitly declared the copyright of all articles published in your journal rests with you. Creative commons licence allows you to selectively release the copyrights in six different levels. The advantage is that others do not have to take permission to use them. However the licences allow you to decide how much of the rights you give up. If this sounds complicated, you can completely ignore it. This is not essential for the journal. 2. Legally speaking you need only RNI no to start a journal. ISSN is not an legal requirement. But academics respect journals with ISSN no. Further ISSN number is useful for journal indexing agencies. The word international is more of a perception. There are no norms or rules that decide how a journal becomes international. If you have an internationally diverse editorial board and articles from different countries, in my view that's an international journal.
Dear Ideaboy, sorry. I do not know of any person who can do it for you. It's simple process, if you can give some concentrated time it should not take more than an hour to apply.
Dear Anonymous, 1. Each journal requires separate issn no. 2. You can register them in the name of the same society 3. The Bank account can be in the name of the same society if you charge the authors.
Dear Sir, I have a blog @ www.ardhendude.blogspost.com comprising more than 700 articles written by me on English literature and Teaching. It is free to use and Student Friendly. However, I have adsense program attached to it. Am I illegible for ISSN code? Is it Worth taking. Kindly pay a visit to my blog and suggest.
Dear Ardhednu Happy to know of a fellow blogger who believes in giving back to the world. Keep it up. Could not read your blog due to some technical glitch. From what I see a blog does not need a ISSN no. From my what I know ISSN is for sth that is published at a regular period. Bogs by nature are not regular.
Dear Nayan Pithadiya, 1. Following instruction on this link: http://nsl.niscair.res.in/issn.jsp 2. Question not clear to me. Can you be more specific? 3. A journal can be both online and print
1) respected sir how to index a online journal in different indexes ? 2) is it free or paid ? 2) benifits of indexing the journal ? yours sencerely Dr.Kartikey
We would like to start a journal in the field of rehabilitation sciences (print version only) with an objective of disseminating the research work carried by our institution only to start with. Can we start a journal with that objective? I understand after reading your blog that it is beneficial to apply for ISSN number and get it registered under RNI (please correct me, if I am wrong).Is it mandatory to have a website devoted for journal purpose only (we have our institute's webpage)? I am not sure how to index a journal. Can you please elaborate about this? Can we apply for index services before publishing a issue or is it mandatory to have any set number of issues published before applying for index?
Please reply your reply to g_shankars@rediffmail.com
Dear Ganesh, You can start with that objective. ISSN and RNI are sufficient. A website is not needed. However it is good to make the articles available online for better reach. You may also make them available on your website. Regarding indexing I will put separate reply.
Dear Anil, I with heart full of gratitude, appreciate your effort to answer questions in your blog. I have a question too. I am thinking of running a website for my town. Do i need to register for this. My situation is like this.. when i take a photo of local function/ celebration, if I have some sort of registration, i can answer legal questions if it arises. If i plan to register, what sort of registration would i need? Thankyou in advance. U can mail me at linus_cruz@yahoo.com

3. Any official address is required to operate an online journal?
4. Is there any other registration or legal steps are required for this?
5. Another thing I would like to ask you that the article publication fees will be fixed by the journal authority or any other external authority?
Dear Sir, I'm interested in starting an International Journal (online Journal)
So can you tell me that to start from scratch to start a journal how much it will cost for me to complete all the legal process and registration and all. A rough estimate according to you, that how much it will cost.

Sir, After creating a journal website ,how to find that our journal website has a impact factor? how do other journal publishers find their journal website has an impact factor of 0.8 , 1.0 or above ?
If it's a new journal my suggestion is not to worry about impact factor. It takes many things to get one and there are many geo-political and economic dimensions to that. I do not have the recent stats. But two years ago there were only three journals in India with Impact Factor. All three from Indian Academy of Sciences, Bangalore. Even EPW did not have impact factor! Most of the claims that journals make regarding Impact Factor are fake.

Dear Anil Thank you for initiating such a nice discussion extensively. I have gone through PRB Act and the relevant rules. Nowhere the term "magazine" has been used. A magazine is not a book, in a similar way as a newspaper is not a book. interpreting the provisions in that line, is it possible to say that there is no provision of law which prescribes for obtaining RNI for a magazine. Specially the kind of magazines which has nothing to do with the law.
Resp Sir me (Yogesh) and my colleague willing to start new online research journal. Should we register our website first ? After registering website what should what should we do then ? Can we get ISSN before publishing any issue or we should publish first issue of e-journal and then do request for ISSN ? Please guide us we are confused. Thank you sir for doing such precious job of helping people.
Dear Anil Sir, Your posts have been useful to me and would like to speak to you in case if you could deduce 2 mins. from your busy schedule. I am a lawyer in the Supreme Court and intend to start e magazine. could you please confirm if i need to go and get it registered or would the same as e journal follows here as well.
Thanking you.
Yours Sincerely, Suvesh Kumar Lawyer Supreme Court of India 8587012770

I want to start an online journal. Should I need to register a society/firm/trust/company to start it or can I start as an individual? Kindly help me regarding this.
My name is Pradeep Kumar. Your blog “How to start a Journal in India?” is very informative and helpful. My doubts are almost clear after reading the detailed information provided by you in your blog. I would like to start an e-journal on a subscription basis. Only a question arises in my mind is that whether I have to go to the registration of a publication house or I can apply for the registration of any society for an e-journal.
And where should I submit my application, in the office of The Registrar, Chits, Firms and Societies or in the office of The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting. Thank you in advance for your kind cooperation/help.

hello sir, can u tell me some instruction i need to to follow when choosing a name for you journal. actually i need to start a journal for computer engineering.thanx in advance
Just need one or two points to be cleared, if you could give some time.
1. As per NISCAIR (from Aug, 1, 2015) for ejournal/ISSN, the "copy of homepage" is required to send them. I need to confirm what do they mean by "copy of homepage" exactly.
2. Read previously, as you said website is not required, but as I read now they have asked for it (mandatory for online version).
Kindly give some time to clear these two points. Dr. Yogesh

Dear sir, Will a merit certificate of internship from a online news portal which is not registered under government hold legal value in jobs or colleges interview because the website is not registered as any company in government papers so does that website has any authority to give internship or appreciation certificate.
Dear sir, Will a internship or appreciation certificate from an only online news portal that is not registered with the government hold any value in college or company interview because since the website is not registered as any legal company or any organisation under the government so does it has the authority to give certificate and will they be valuable.

Hello there Anil!!
I am Manas Dowlani a student of GLC Mumbai and am trying to start a journal. We have got few good articles and research papers. I hope I can talk to you in detail on assistance on legal terms as currently I am still in pre-law and unaware of the legal complications.
I would request if you could mail me @ manasdowlani@yahoo.com and if we could exchange numbers to fasten the discussions. :)
Dear Manas, I have emailed you.
Dear Sapna, Your steps are correct. But if you want to get a print edition, then i suggest you also apply for RNI no. A lot of journals do publish without it, it can pose some problems in a distant future.
As for international editors, it's not a must but if you would like to enhance the image of the journal it helps. Good scholars normally agree to be on the board, if you have personal contact. What you could do is to approach international scholars you meet in seminars to come on board.
An important task to make a journal quality based is to get it indexed by various agencies, like proquest. Ebsco, depending on the discipline of your journal.
All the best.
Dear anil, your previous mail was auto filtered in spam. I would be greatful if you could send me a mail again :)
Manas, sent again.
Hi Anil,
your blogspot is indeed first of it kind, and when i read through it, I have found it really informative and useful for upcoming scientific professionals.
I would like to obtain your guidance regarding publishing of online scientific journal. It would be of great help if you could provide your e-mail address and we could exchange information through e-mails.
Hellow Sir,
Its my long back wish too start weekly science magazine but i have no idea to start and procedures to follow, it will be great if you guide me on this.
Dear Sir,
few of my friends are planning to start a e-magazine (in pdf format), monthly. hope there is no such regulations and registrations for that type of magazine. and we plans its a private circulation...
is there any other procedures to complete to start this? pls help us...
From what I know the present P&B Act does not cover online magazines. It only covers printed periodicals. Hence, you would not need RNI registration. However, you could apply for ISSN no. Which is a hassle free process and normally they respond in 3-5 days. All the best for your initiative.
BTW ISSN no is not mandatory for any publication. But if your readership really increases phenomenally international agencies might be interested in indexing it. ISSN no helps them to index it.
Dear Sasi the link in the this post gives some directions. If you can be specific with your doubts I might be able to answer them. If you have strong desire, I suggest you pursue it.
Dear mr anil
Me and my friend want to start a ejournal in IT. We have completed our website & now we are applying for ISSN no. Want to confirm regarding the issn volume no & Issue no? How to give papers volume and issue nos? I am confused about this.
Dear Sandeep, ISSN no has nothing to do with Volume or issue. It remains constant. The first issue you publish will be VOL I and Issue I (sometimes called No 1. VOL refers to year in publication. For example, A journal started in 2011 will bear the volume no 2 for all issues published this in 2012 and vol 3 for all issues published in 2013. Issue no refers to the no of times a journal is published in that volume year. For example, a half yearly will have two issues in a year. The first one will be called either issue 1 or no 1. The second one will be called Issue 2 or no 2.
Dear Sir
I am Prof. Rinal Shah.
Our Institute is planning to start a new peer-reviewed Management journal in print form as of now.
I don't know any kind of process for the same. Kindly seeking for your detailed guidance on rinalshah211@yahoo.com
Dear Rinal Shah,
You could go through the links and the comments in the following posts. My responses to various question address quite a few issues. Having gone through, if you have any ideas I will be happy to respond.

Hi Anil,
Thank You for sharing this useful information with us.
We are planning to launch a E-journal and was concerned is there is any other registration needed apart from the ISSN registration, For example, the do we need to register our website anywhere so that it's comes under a set of registered organization kind of a thing???
Also are there more legal aspects with respect to starting a journal??
A response will be greatly appreciated.
You can also mail me at editor.irjc@gmail.com
Many Thanks!!!
Dear Sir,
Thanks for providing a nice platform. I am a Management Faculty wanting to start series of Online Journals in 4 areas. However, i wish to know the following: -
1. Is ISSN number a must
2. Is it legally fit to have just an online version and not the printed version
3. Is it mandatory to have an RNI number for Print version and what is the process for the same
4. Can an individual start the Journal or a society needs to be constituted for the same?
5. Are there certain other tax related problems which might come p in due course?
I shall be highly oblidged, thanks Sir..

1. No. But it is a must if you want your journal to be indexed. It is like a postal address for the journal. Gives identity beyond the name
2. From what I know yes.
3. As per P&B Act 1860 RNI registration in mandatory for print periodicals. But most journals in India, even some of the reputed ones do not have. 95% there is no chance of any legal issues.
4. Individual can start
5. Not sure about this. But if you are going for a subscription model there might be tax implications.
Thanks a lot for the reply!!
However, could you please let me know how should i go ahead regarding the same step by step please..

Dear Mani,
From what I know there is no restriction for a government employee to run a journal. All the best.
Dear Anonymous, ISSN can be obtained before publishing the first issue. You need not register the website. ISSN does not charge fee for bringing out journal in India, thanks to the proactive attitude of Govt of India. But other parts of the world one pays. When it is charged from what i know its one time fee
I want to open a bank account in the name of my e-journal. I want to charge from authors as publication fee. How an individual can start a bank account in the name of their journal? What are the legal formalities behind it
Dear Sir,
Is Indexing possible without ISSN number?
No, it's not possible, Jose.
Dear Sir,
Thanks for sharing such useful information as a non profit service. I wish to know that if series of Journals are started, separate ISSN nos need to be obtained or not?
Also, they can be registered in the name of the same society?
Can the bank account be in the name of the Society if i charge the authors for the submission?
Dear Sir,
I am a young Assistant Professor (Ph.D.,) at an institution.I would like to start educational institutions. e.g. nursery school to college. I have no idea to make this as business.

Honestly I do not have any source or political influences to make the things happen easily.
Thanking you in advance.

Dear Prof. Pinto,
Our college is intending to start an international print journal. I am doing background research regarding all the requisite formalities.
I was reading your blog which gives extremely useful information regarding starting a journal/magazine in India. Many of my questions have already been answered through the blog comments. There are however just 2 specific questions -
1. I tried looking up the creative commons license you have mentioned. I am not able to understand it's significance for the print journal and whether it is mandatory.
2. Is there additional formality required (over and above ISSN, RNI & International Editorial board) for the journal to be declared 'International'?
I would be very grateful if you could respond to my query.
Thank you.
Regards,
Prof. S. Peshwe
Dear Anil,
Can u give me any authorized person to complete the procedure to start new "International Journal".
I am from hyderabad, plz give me hyderabad located persons details.
Regards,
Ideaboy.
Dear Prof. Sampada Peshwe, here are the clarifications.
1. Creative commons is not a mandatory licence. It is to do with copyright. In general unless explicitly declared the copyright of all articles published in your journal rests with you. Creative commons licence allows you to selectively release the copyrights in six different levels. The advantage is that others do not have to take permission to use them. However the licences allow you to decide how much of the rights you give up. If this sounds complicated, you can completely ignore it. This is not essential for the journal.
2. Legally speaking you need only RNI no to start a journal. ISSN is not an legal requirement. But academics respect journals with ISSN no. Further ISSN number is useful for journal indexing agencies. The word international is more of a perception. There are no norms or rules that decide how a journal becomes international. If you have an internationally diverse editorial board and articles from different countries, in my view that's an international journal.
Dear Ideaboy,
sorry. I do not know of any person who can do it for you. It's simple process, if you can give some concentrated time it should not take more than an hour to apply.
Dear Anonymous,
1. Each journal requires separate issn no.
2. You can register them in the name of the same society
3. The Bank account can be in the name of the same society if you charge the authors.
sir we are planning to start a new magazine..can you tell us what are the legal procedures to follow .

Dear Ardhednu
Happy to know of a fellow blogger who believes in giving back to the world. Keep it up. Could not read your blog due to some technical glitch. From what I see a blog does not need a ISSN no. From my what I know ISSN is for sth that is published at a regular period. Bogs by nature are not regular.
Dear Nayan Pithadiya,
1. Following instruction on this link: http://nsl.niscair.res.in/issn.jsp
2. Question not clear to me. Can you be more specific?
3. A journal can be both online and print

Dear Sir,
We would like to start a journal in the field of rehabilitation sciences (print version only) with an objective of disseminating the research work carried by our institution only to start with. Can we start a journal with that objective? I understand after reading your blog that it is beneficial to apply for ISSN number and get it registered under RNI (please correct me, if I am wrong).Is it mandatory to have a website devoted for journal purpose only (we have our institute's webpage)? I am not sure how to index a journal. Can you please elaborate about this? Can we apply for index services before publishing a issue or is it mandatory to have any set number of issues published before applying for index?
Please reply your reply to g_shankars@rediffmail.com

Dear Swathy Jaga, well that is the the basic minimum. You do not need to register if it is purely an online journal.
Dear Kejal Chande, if it's aprint journal you will have to do RNI registration. The following link has details.
http://rni.nic.in/Citizen%27sharter.pdf
Dear Ganesh,
You can start with that objective. ISSN and RNI are sufficient. A website is not needed. However it is good to make the articles available online for better reach. You may also make them available on your website. Regarding indexing I will put separate reply.
Dear sir,
Thank u for replay.

Sir,
After creating a journal website ,how to find that our journal website has a impact factor? how do other journal publishers find their journal website has an impact factor of 0.8 , 1.0 or above ?
If it's a new journal my suggestion is not to worry about impact factor. It takes many things to get one and there are many geo-political and economic dimensions to that. I do not have the recent stats. But two years ago there were only three journals in India with Impact Factor. All three from Indian Academy of Sciences, Bangalore. Even EPW did not have impact factor! Most of the claims that journals make regarding Impact Factor are fake.

Dear Anil
Thank you for initiating such a nice discussion extensively.
I have gone through PRB Act and the relevant rules. Nowhere the term "magazine" has been used. A magazine is not a book, in a similar way as a newspaper is not a book. interpreting the provisions in that line, is it possible to say that there is no provision of law which prescribes for obtaining RNI for a magazine. Specially the kind of magazines which has nothing to do with the law.
Thanks

Dear Anil,
Just need one or two points to be cleared, if you could give some time.
1. As per NISCAIR (from Aug, 1, 2015) for ejournal/ISSN, the "copy of homepage" is required to send them. I need to confirm what do they mean by "copy of homepage" exactly.
2. Read previously, as you said website is not required, but as I read now they have asked for it (mandatory for online version).
Kindly give some time to clear these two points.

HI Anil,
I want to start online technical journal, for that what must be the legal formalities i need do ?
somebody told me that i can start website and also start publishing papers on that journal............then can apply for ISSN no.
Is it correct?
i just want to know that, do i need to register any proprietary firm or pvt ltd co. to live the e-jounal on web?
For ISSN, requirements are- Journal must have 5-6 original papers published then, only i can get ISSN .
so, its obvious that ISSN is 2nd thing, first is to launch e-journal on portal.
Does ISSN is mandatory for e-journal?
Please help me out in this.
please mail me the entire procedure from strech.

Dear Mr. Pinto, I have a charitable trust and want to publish a bulletin of 40 page around, every two months with cultural stories.
