Dataset incomplete or not yet confirmed as complete: we cannot say whether the journal was listed. This is not a derecognition. This is today's status only. It is not the status at the time an article was published: see the history below or check a publication date. What do categories W, X and Y mean?

Latest record on file: category Y (recognized) in the 2022–23 dataset. It is shown for information and is not treated as this journal's current status until it is verified.

As per Policy 2024, amended 5 Nov 2025: Indexed in Scopus (active, not discontinued). A Scopus journal that HEC's own list places in Category X (committee recommendation) is shown as X. Sources: DOAJ listing · HEC policy document
Why Category Y?
  • Verified as indexed in Scopus
  • Scopus indexing → Category Y places journals meeting this condition in Category Y
  • No documented HEC exception (de-recognition, suspension or withheld result) was found for this journal
  • Effective from 05 Nov 2025 (Policy 2024, amended 5 Nov 2025)
