Accredited Journals

Accredited journals are recognized research output which meet specified criteria and therefore qualify for subsidisation by the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET). To receive subsidy or recognition for an article you have written, you should select a journal which is accredited from one of the lists below.

The Department of Higher Education and Training's List of Accredited Journals is compiled from journals included in ISI and IBSS, as well as South African journals selected by the Department of Higher Education and Training for this purpose and listed under List of Approved South African Journals (DHET).
