Let me start by reading through the content carefully.
The document is from the University of Kerala, specifically the Faculty of Arts. It's about updating the list of standard journals approved by the Academic Council. The main points are the additions to the existing list of journals for different departments. The Academic Council approved the recommendations from various Boards of Studies, including English, Philosophy, Russian, German, Library and Information Science, Communication and Journalism. Each board has specific journals added. For example, the Russian Board added Critic, Assonance, Russian Philology, and Russian Studies in India. The German Board listed several journals with their publishers and ISSNs. The Faculty of Arts also recommended using their existing approved list for promotions, appointments, and PhD submissions because there are few Kerala-based journals in the UGC CARE list.
I need to make sure the summary is detailed but not too long. I should mention the key departments, the journals added, the approval by the Academic Council, and the recommendation for using the university's list for academic purposes. Also, note the recipients of the orders. Avoid any markdown and keep it in English. Let me check if I missed any important sections. The document also mentions that the revised lists are appended, so I should include that. The main action is the approval of the updated journal lists and the subsequent orders issued.
I should structure the summary to first state the purpose, then list the departments and their added journals, mention the approval process, and the recommendation for promotions. Also, list the recipients. Need to be precise with the names of the journals and the departments. Make sure it's all in one paragraph without any extra information. Let me verify the journal names and the departments again to ensure accuracy. Yes, that's correct. Now, condense all that into a concise summary.
The University of Kerala's Faculty of Arts has approved additions to the list of standard journals for academic publications, as recommended by various Boards of Studies. The Academic Council endorsed updates for the English, Philosophy, Russian, and German boards, with specific journals added: Russian Philology, Russian Studies in India, and German journals like Heine Jarhrbuch, Informationen Deutsch als Fremdsprache, Markt, Praxis Deutsch, Zeitschrift für Germanistik, JSL, Indo-German, The EFL Journal, Goethe Jahrbuch, Journal of Literature and Aesthetics, Littcrit, Bhasha Sahiti, Samyukta, and Review of Social Sciences. The Faculty also recommended using their existing approved journal list for promotions, appointments, and PhD submissions due to the scarcity of Kerala-based journals in the UGC CARE list. Orders were issued to relevant departments and officials, including the Dean of Arts, heads of teaching departments, board chairmen, IQAC director, and academic sections, to implement these changes and maintain updated records.
