HJRS 2022: This blog post aims to provide the list of HEC recognized journals in Arts & Humanities under the W category.
HJRS is a relative threshold-based system that assigns W, X, and Y categories to Journals; W being the highest and Y being the lowest. Since thresholds are relative; therefore, it is important for authors to know the predictive assessment of any W Category Journal being downgraded to X or Y categories at any time in the future. Similarly, the predictive assessment of any X or Y category journal being promoted to the W category at a time in the future.
