CIIT becomes first university to publish 2,000 journals in a year
The COMSATS Institute of Information Technology (CIIT) has achieved another milestone
by becoming the first university in Pakistan to publish over 2,000 impact factor
journal publications in a calendar year.
A message by Rector CIIT for all Faculty, Staff and Students of the Institute
Dear All,
It has been a tremendous research publications journey for CIIT, starting with just
172 publications in 2005-06. Along the way we became the first university in Pakistan
to cross the 1000 impact factor journal publications in a calendar year in the year
2015 logging 1263 papers. Then in the year 2016 we became the first university to
cross the 1500 mark ending with 1574 impact factor journal publications.
With the grace of Allah SWT in the year 2017 we have now become the first University
in Pakistan to cross the psychological barrier of 2000 impact factor journal publications,
we are currently at 2029 publications including only articles, reviews and research
letters.
Congratulations to all the hardworking faculty members who have excelled in their
research and are also showing the way to everyone that it can be done and that we
are the best in research in Pakistan.
Best Wishes,
Prof. Dr. Raheel Qamar
