Discussion
Assertion (A) : Techniques based on citation counting are not suitable for assessing performance of a researcher.
Reason (R) : Assessment based on the citation counting is not approved by the UGC.
Answer: B
The key marks both statements false, so the answer is Both (A) and (R) are false.
Assertion (A) is false: techniques based on citation counting, such as total citations and the h-index, are widely used to assess the research performance of individuals, alongside peer review.
Reason (R) is false as well: the UGC has itself used research publications and their impact as a measure in its academic performance assessment of teachers, so citation-based assessment is not something the UGC has refused to recognise. With both statements false, every option calling either true is wrong.
