About Research Centre

Bangalore University granted St. Joseph’s College of Commerce (Autonomous), Bengaluru, recognition as a Research Centre in 2010. Since its inception, the Centre has been committed to fostering a vibrant culture of research through a wide range of academic and research initiatives conducted annually across the disciplines of Commerce, Management, and Social Sciences. From 2017 onwards, the institution has been affiliated with Dr. Manmohan Singh Bengaluru City University, formerly known as Bengaluru City University, as per the directions of the competent authorities.

The Research Centre, through its inclusive and structured research policies, supports researchers in identifying potential research areas and projects, assessing the feasibility and social relevance of research proposals, and facilitating quality research publications. The Centre encourages faculty members to effectively utilise the research resources and facilities available to them and motivates them to undertake minor and major research projects supported by funding agencies such as the University Grants Commission (UGC), Indian Council of Social Science Research (ICSSR), and other recognised funding agencies.

The Centre also publishes the SJCC Management Research Review (SJCC MRR), a bi-annual, peer-reviewed, open-access refereed journal, providing a platform for disseminating quality research in the areas of management, commerce, and related disciplines. In addition, the Research Centre organises research training programmes, workshops, seminars, conferences, and capacity-building initiatives for the teaching fraternity, research scholars, students, and the wider academic community.

An Expert Committee constituted by Dr. Manmohan Singh Bengaluru City University visited the SJCC Research Centre on 02 June 2026 to review its recognition and assess its research infrastructure, activities, academic contributions, and compliance with the prescribed requirements for renewal. Based on the recommendations of the Expert Committee, the recognition of the SJCC Research Centre was renewed for a further period of four years, from 2026–27 to 2029–30.

The Research Centre follows a stringent Plagiarism and Malpractice Policy, supported by the use of Turnitin software, to maintain academic integrity and ethical standards in research. The Centre's research activities are governed by the applicable UGC (Promotion of Academic Integrity and Prevention of Plagiarism in Higher Educational Institutions) Regulations, 2018, along with the institution's own Research Policy, Code of Ethics, and related research guidelines. These measures ensure that research undertaken at the Centre adheres to the highest standards of academic integrity, originality, transparency, and responsible research practices.
