Proceedings (SZMC) had the opportunity to attend the Editor’s Capacity Building Workshop hosted by King Edward Medical University (KEMU) in collaboration with the Higher Education Commission (HEC), and it was truly a valuable learning experience. With over 45 editors in attendance, the workshop focused on enhancing academic publishing standards across Pakistan.
Key sessions were led by notable figures such as Engr. Nouman Ahmad Khan (Director R&ID HEC), Ms. Humaira Quddus (Deputy Director R&ID HEC), Prof. Ahmad Uzair Qureshi (Director ORIC-KEMU), and Farhan Qadir (Deputy Director QEC-KEMU). The event was inaugurated by Prof. Dr. Mahmood Ayyaz (VC, KEMU) and included in-depth discussions on HEC’s journal accreditation policies, indexing requirements (WoS, Scopus, PubMed), peer-review guidelines, and ethical publishing practices.
Prof. Dr. Saira Afzal (Director QEC, KEMU, Chief Editor of Annals & Dean IPH) conducted insightful sessions throughout the workshop, and Mr. Ghulam Nabi (DG, HEC Regional Center Lahore) delivered the closing remarks.
