# For office use only.
* The API for joint publications will have to be calculated in the following manner. Of the total score for the relevant category of
publication by the concerned teacher the First/Principal author and the corresponding author/supervisor/mentor of the teacher would share
equally 60% of the total points and the remaining 40% would be shared equally by the other authors. For example, if the total score for a
publication is 10 (say), then the First / Principal author, the corresponding author, supervisor, co-supervisor and mentor would get 6
points each and the other authors would get 4 points each.
** API Score for III E (ii) will be claimed solely by the author who participated and presented the paper (oral/poster). However, if a paper
presented in Conference/Seminar is published in the form of Proceedings, the points would accrue for the publication (III) (a) and not
under presentation III (e) (ii).
Note: Date of publication of research paper will be 1st January in case journals published annually, 1st day of the half year in case of
journals published half yearly, 1st day of the quarter in case of journals published quarterly, 1st day of the month in case of journals
published monthly and likewise.
