In the past ten years, the research output of Pakistani universities has increased exponentially. IMSciences, in this regard, has been no exception. The rise in the number of research publications in IMSciences is due to commitment of our dedicated faculty and support of the top management. To promote and encourage the faculty members to do research and to acknowledge their contribution, the IMSciences Research Committee introduced research rewards for publishing in reputable journals. However, to meet the challenges faced by the researchers and to further encourage R&D culture at the Institute, the R&D Policy has been revised. The future plan is to promote industry driven research so that the Institute can play its role in the socio-economic development of the region. The Institute’s R&D policy is given below:Reward Money for Research PublicationsIn order to encourage the faculty members and students, the Institute shall pay cash award for publishing papers in reputed national & international Journals as per the following breakup:Rs. 50,000 for publishing in “W” category journalsRs. 30,000 for publishing in “X” category journalsRs. 15,000 for publishing in “Y” category journalsFee for Research Publications in JournalsThe Institute shall pay Publication fee for publishing in W, X, & Y, category journals.

Case 3: In case of multiple authors with Principal Author being affiliated with IMSciences and co-authors from both IMSciences as well as other HEI’s, 50% of publication cost will be paid on behalf of the principal author belonging to IMSciences. Remaining cost of 50% will be shared by the remaining authors. However if there is/are co-author/s from IMSciences in the remaining authors, their proportionate share not exceeding more than 50% of the total cost will be paid by the IMSciences.
