Higher Education Commission of Pakistan has divided the research journals into 4 distinct
categories which are:

1. W Category: - Journals having an Impact Factor.

2. X Category: - Experts groups certify that they are top, recognized journals in the
subject of archival quality.

Verified by HEC that they meet all HEC Journal Criteria and have paper reviewed by
at least one expert from an Industrially/Academically advanced country in the
respective discipline.

3. Y Category: - Experts groups certify that they are top, recognized journals in the
subject of archival quality.

from an Industrially/Academically advanced country in the respective discipline.

4. Z Category: - Experts groups certify that they are good, recognized journals in the
subject of archival quality.

They meet all HEC Journal Criteria except
i.

education journals. As I was searching the local/National journals I found these which HEC has
categorized as Y' CATEGORY JOURNALS which are acceptable for Tenure Track System,
BPS appointments, HEC Approved Supervisor and Publication of research of Ph.D. work until
