Abstract

This paper is written with an intention to discuss the contentious issues of publishing and publication in Pakistani universities and institutes. Academics pursuing research careers are required to share their research findings to establish their identity in an academia. These research articles help to measure the productivity of researchers, departments and universities. In this context, the factors contributing to quality research are: promotion, university policy, researcher's responsibility, peer reviewing, journal guidelines, and HEC rules. The article discusses all these factors and also throws light on ethical issues related to publication and promotion. The actors involved in the creation, production and dissemination of knowledge, have to contribute positively to raise standards in quality research. The article concludes with certain recommendations for the stakeholders involved in the process.
