New platform: ZAPublications Monitor: List of DHET-approved journals
The DHET Master Journal List is the official consolidated list of journals approved for research publication subsidy, helping authors verify whether a journal is eligible before submitting their work. Use the Journal Finder to check a journal’s subsidy status, avoid publishing in ineligible or delisted journals, and ensure compliance with DHET research output requirements.
Notice:
- For more information about this list, read the DHET communication: Communiqué Number 1: April 2026: ZAPublication Monitor and the Journal Finder.
- New functionalities will be added to this platform during the course of the year. Any comments regarding this platform can be mailed to Teresa Smit.
