My 'Improve the Practice of Software Development ...' paper is referenced in 2015 Management PhD Thesis on MCA students career planning, and in a 2012 Software Engineering literature survey paper

My paper mentioned in the title of the post is: "Improve the Practice of Software Development in India by having a Software Development Career Track in Indian CS & IT Academia" (by Ravi S. Iyer), December 2012.
Abstract: https://arxiv.org/abs/1202.1715 , PDF: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1202.1715 .

"MANAGEMENT PERSPECTIVE (ACADEMIC AND ADMINISTRATIVE ASPECT) IN CAREER PLANNING OF STUDENTS DURING 2007-2013 WITH REFERENCE TO SELECTED MCA INSTITUTES IN PUNE REGION” is a thesis submitted To Tilak Maharashtra Vidyapeeth, Pune (Maharashtra, India) for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D) In Management by Mr. Ashutosh Madhukar Kulkarni under the Guidance of Dr. Shriniwas S. Kulkarni in April 2015
Ref: https://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/bitstream/10603/86727/1/01_title.pdf.

The thesis contents can be viewed from here: http://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in:8080/jspui/handle/10603/86727.

In Section "1.7 Research Questions" of "Chapter 1: Introduction " on page 6, http://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in:8080/jspui/bitstream/10603/86727/6/06_chapter%201.pdf, it states: "A large number of IT graduates are available every year from different universities, but NASSCOM claims that very few IT graduates are employable, in addition, Ministry of Human Resource and Development (MHRD), New Delhi released a report which supports this view expressed by NASSCOM."

In the same section, it states that the researcher has identified a set of research questions. Among those research questions are:

"c) What are the industry needs/expectations from aspiring MCA candidates?
d) Are these needs/expectations known to the management of institute?
e) Is there any gap between industry and academia?
f) If the gap exists, how to bridge the gap?"

In section "2.2 Literature Review" of "Chapter 2: Review of Literature" on page 13, http://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in:8080/jspui/bitstream/10603/86727/7/07_chapter%202.pdf, it states:
"Ravi S. Iyer proposes that if the practice oriented software development career track, is introduced in UGC & AICTE regulations for appointment and promotion of Indian CS & IT academics then, a healthy mix of both research oriented as well as software development oriented Indian Computer Science & Information Technology academics will solve the problem.[30]"

https://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/bitstream/10603/86727/14/14_references.pdf gives the references. It has the following reference for my pre-print (not yet published in peer-reviewed publication) paper: '[30] Ravi S.
