HEC seeks applications from Pakistan-based research journals

ISLAMABAD – The Higher Education Com­mission (HEC) has in­vited applications for the year 2021-22 from all Pakistan-based research journals, which meet the HEC accreditation cri­teria. The Journals cur­rently enlisted in HEC Journal Recognition Sys­tem (HJRS) will also have to apply afresh, accord­ing to an official docu­ment available with APP said. The applications may be submitted online through “Accreditation of Research Journals” Tab of HEC’s Research Manage­ment System at https://research hec.gov.pk/. Final deadline for sub­mission of online appli­cations is March 31. For further details, the stu­dents are advised to visit www.hec.gov.pk/site/journals. The document said that HEC facilitates national research jour­nals published by regis­tered entities (universi­ties or departments of faculties of such entities or registered research institutions or non-profit academic societies with a mandate for research) through financial sup­port and capacity build­ing to enhance their academic and publica­tion standards. National research journals com­plying with HEC require­ments for accreditation are recognised annually through an open call, the document added.
