Accredited journals are research outputs recognised by the South African Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) because it meets specified criteria (e.g., peer-reviewed) and therefore qualify for subsidy by the DHET. If academics publish in accredited journals selected from the DHET lists, their Higher Educational Institute (HEI) receive support and recognition for the articles.
Only peer-reviewed research articles in accredited journals qualify for subsidy. The DHET’s Approved List is compiled annually from international and national journals. Journals included in these lists are considered accredited and are taken into account when government subsidy is granted to universities for scientific publication of research output.
AOSIS Publishing boasts a total of 43 journals now accredited by the DHET, once again proving our high standards and quality service delivery.
