HEC Pakistan – New Research Policy for PhD Doctors and Researchers

The significance of research can't be described in words. The main purpose of the research is to analyze the problems or to do the detailed study of the specific problems, by making use of special scientific methods. The ultimate goals are to provide the best solutions for the problems. However, The research policies of HEC Pakistan do not seem to have any connection with these goals so far.

HEC Pakistan – New Research Policy for PhD Doctors and Researchers

Recently HEC Pakistan has developed a new research policy that has put some international journals into different categories. HEC journalrecognition system (HJRS) categorized the journal into three different categories W, X, and Y. According to HEC Pakistan, the journals categorized based on the relative position and international benchmarks. 



Questions

First and foremost, are the world and our research problems the same?
The second question is what will be the benefit to the nation for this policy? Does the world readily accept Pakistan's research?
Do the Pakistani Universities have the capability to conduct research meeting the international norms?
Who gives suggestions to HEC for this step? Pakistani research experts?
Do the HEC personally aware of the inner face of Pakistani research experts?


Here is the actual face of few so called (research experts) associate professors, professors, chairman and deans of the Pakistani universities.

Yar mujy promotion kay liy aor professor bannay k liy ak research paper ki zarorat ha plz apnay research paper ma mera name dal dyna" 


Tum Bahut he Na laiq PhD k student ho abhe tak aik paper bhe publish nahe kia? Suno agar PhD karni ha tu paper ma dosra name mera ho aor 3rd name meri beti ka ho ya mery dost ka ho


Ma tumhari PhD nahe honay don ga jab tak tum elseware k journal ma paper nahe publish karty aor us ma dosra name mera ho

Other tweets and videos coming soon with evidence.

Is there any Pakistani research journal that has an impact factor of more than 20?

Drawbacks

Let's analyze the drawbacks of this policy:

Pakistani doctors who have a Ph.D. from abroad will go up and those who are doing PhDs from Pakistan will be further crushed. International journals have more trust and prefer on international students. Again it will contradict the HEC scholarship policies for Pakistani Ph.D. students. Has HEC got any benefit from the people who took millions out of Pakistan in the name of a Ph.D. research grant or scholarship and nowadays they are living a good life outside?

Those who have more money will publish the paper with money and those who are poor will be left behind. This policy will increase corruption and it will not give Pakistan anything. Work with the intellect and create policies that benefit young people and not the older Ph.D. doctors who have eaten the whole country’s economy.

The current research policy shows that the HEC top management is against the research or they are not aware of the real issues. They want the nation's researcher and Ph.D. doctors to stay behind the truck lights and not come forward.

The situation with our universities is that, first they buy things (research equipment) and then don't use them for 20 to 25 years so that the research equipment doesn't get damaged. When that thing (research equipment) is outdated, millions of rupees are corrupted to get it fixed. Before implementing this step, HEC Pakistan first create a research environment, research ethics and research capacity in the Pakistani universities.

  1. We publish 6 research articles in journals of International repute from our thesis related research in University of Peshawar, Pakistan. It means your claim that journals don't trust national researchers is not correct.

  2. Stop PhD in Pakistan, our research facilities are not enough, the whole PhD just rely on the analysis from different labs and compiling the data. Not even a single whole experiment is done by so called doctor of philosophy :-( at the end they are just increasing number of unemployed PhDs in Pakistan.
