In South Africa, only articles published in "accredited journals" are considered for government subsidy. To this end, only journals included in the lists/indices compiled by the Department of Higher Education and Training are considered "accredited" and will be taken into account for government subsidy and NRF rating and evaluation.
For more information about the lists of accredited journals and the Research Output Survey, please visit the Division for Research Development's website.
