HEC APPROVED X CATEGORY JOURNALS

HEC (Higher Education Commission) Approved X Category Journals are high-quality academic journals recognized in Pakistan for their rigorous peer-review process and substantial contribution to research. These journals fall below the W Category but still maintain strong academic and publication standards. X Category journals are often indexed in major international databases like Scopus or Web of Science, and they are considered credible for research publications, particularly in disciplines where international indexing is limited. Publishing in X Category journals is valuable for faculty promotions, research funding, and academic recognition within Pakistan.
