9.2.2 Wherever possible, depending upon the required style of the publication,

“Anjuman College of Engineering and Technology” should appear as the first element in recording affiliation. Other elements such as Department, Designation can be listed as second or third element, as appropriate. Listing of college name first ensures that the college receives credit. Where this is not possible, college name must appear prominently and, in any event, not later than the third element within the citation. Otherwise, there is a risk that the institute will not be credited in any external machine-readable analysis of bibliometric data.
