I agree with Top Gun. However, I am told that IIM Ahmedabad has started a process whereby a faculty member publishing in Operations Research or Management Science journals will get a cash reward of Rs. 1 lakh per paper published. Of course, this does not necessarily mean that the quality of papers will improve overall and even does not ensure that the standards of existing faculty will increase, but definitely is a good step. Unofrtunately, in institutions like IITs and IISc, there is no such scheme to reward people who publish in the best journals.
