The ABCD Index (Academic Business Current Data Index) is an online research database and journal indexing platform designed to help researchers, students, and academicians identify suitable journals for publishing their research work. It serves as a centralized system where journals from various disciplines—such as engineering, management, science, arts, and social sciences—are listed and evaluated based on specific quality parameters.

The primary aim of the ABCD Index is to promote transparency and accessibility in academic publishing. It provides essential information about journals, including their scope, review process, publication frequency, indexing status, and impact-related metrics. Researchers can use this platform to verify whether a journal meets basic academic standards before submitting their manuscript
