HEC APPROVED Y CATEGORY JOURNALS

HEC (Higher Education Commission) Approved Y Category Journals are academic journals that meet acceptable research and publication standards but have a relatively lower impact compared to W and X category journals. These journals undergo a peer-review process and contribute to research dissemination, but they may not be indexed in internationally recognized databases like Scopus or Web of Science. Publications in Y Category journals are recognized for MPhil/MS degree completion but are generally not considered sufficient for PhD degree requirements or faculty promotions in Pakistan. However, they still play an essential role in local research development and scholarly communication.
