What is the New NIRF Negative Marking Criteria?

It is expected that for the NIRF Rankings 2025, there will be negative scores for institutes that have been retracted from journals in the last three calendar years and their corresponding citations. Anil Sahashrabudhe, Chairperson of the National Board of Accreditation (NBA) said, “This year, we will award some negative weightage for retracted papers and their citations. Next year, the penalty will be harsher.” As mentioned by the chairperson, the reason behind the negative scores is “The number of retractions was small a few years ago, but the numbers have increased in the past couple of years. So we are taking this seriously.” Moreover, citing another reason behind this step is to make a statement “that research should be conducted ethically.”
