Pakistan Journal of EDUCATIONAL

RESEARCH

(Quarterly Research Journal)


ii

Editorial The Pakistan Journal of Educational Research achieved another important milestone

three years after its inception and that, from this issue, the journal will be published

quarterly instead of semi-annually. This was possible because a large number of

researchers from all over Pakistan continued to send papers expressing their

confidence in the journal, which compelled the society to make this decision.

Where i am grateful to all the researchers who chose PJER to publish their research

work, at right there, I would like to draw the attention of my researchers to some of the

issues that the journal has faced. Although, these are not in a big number but these

issues not only causes difficulties for the journal, but also does not leave a good

impression of you on the journal's team. For example:

Based on the comments of internal & external reviewers, when researchers are sent ۔1

for paper finalization, then it is known that they have sent this paper to be published

elsewhere or this paper has been published elsewhere.

2. As a result of having their paper published elsewhere, instead of apologizing, they

insist on adding another paper of their own instead.

As soon as they upload the paper on website, they force to editor to publish it in the ۔3

upcoming issue.

4- Some of them wish that their papers would appear in every issue.

5- They consider their pledge report of their paper as final. Etc…

Although the Pakistan Journal of Educational Research does not prioritize any of these

over its own principles, but it does tarnish your image as a good researcher.

Therefore, keeping these things in mind, you are requested to support the Society for

Social Sciences and Research Association in promoting the research culture in

Pakistan. Because our slogan is "change through research".
