The Higher Education Commission of Pakistan has taken a much commendable step towards clearing the confusions in terms of research papers accepted for induction, promotion and other academic-related purposes in Pakistan. According to this system, reputed Scopus Indexed Journals are Indexed in Y category (except some low-quality Journal), whereas Journal with both SCOPUS and ESCI indexing are kept under the X category, along with some journals with decent impact factor (e.g Journal of Consumer Behavior). However other high impact factor journals are categorized in W category. Moreover only ESCI (WOS) indexed Journals are excluded from this system yet.
