Built by Careerantra Solutions Pvt. Ltd. to empower Indian researchers with tools to find, evaluate, and publish in the right Scopus journals.
India produces over 350,000 research publications annually, making it one of the top 5 research nations in the world. Yet, many Indian researchers — especially those outside IITs and central universities — struggle to identify suitable, credible, and affordable publication venues.
NextJournal was built to solve this. We aggregate data from Scopus, UGC CARE, SCImago, and publisher databases to give every Indian researcher — from a state college in Bihar to an IIT in Tamil Nadu — access to the same quality journal discovery tools as researchers at Harvard or Oxford.
Our promise: Always free. Always accurate. Always for Indian researchers.
Careerantra Solutions Pvt. Ltd. is an Indian EdTech and research services company dedicated to empowering students, researchers, and academics across India. We provide career guidance, research publication support, academic tools, and institutional consulting.
NextJournal is our flagship research discovery tool — freely available to all Indian researchers. Our publishing services platform, NextPUB (nextpub.in), provides end-to-end support to get your research published.
We work with researchers from IITs, NITs, central universities, state universities, medical colleges, and independent research institutions across India.
