KARACHI: The dedication of any country in educational and other researches could be gauged with the amount of funds spent on the research of a particular department or field. The importance of research could not be ignored in the present era.
The strong relationship between academics and industry provides the basis for a stable economic and social system. Such a relationship also helps in eradicating hunger and poverty from the society.
These views were expressed by the Vice Chancellor of the University of Karachi Professor Dr Khalid Mahmood Iraqi on Wednesday. He was speaking at a launching ceremony of a Business Research Journal at the University of Karachi, organised by the Department of Karachi University Business School (KUBS). The ‘Karachi University Business Research Journal’ was inaugurated online at the VC Secretariat.
He stressed that the research creates new products, procedures and knowledge. The KU VC Professor Dr Khalid Iraqi said that the research publications reflect the participation of the society in educational activities while the inimitable researchers help in creating a patent for the society.
He emphasised that we need to pay special attention to the quality research papers and research journals instead of paying attention to the publications. He observed that changes keep taking place in the standards of research work.
The KU VC Professor Dr Khalid Iraqi also stressed that our research protocol should be in line with the standards of the modern era. He said that a research journal is the representation of any university’s quality and status.
He congratulated the chairperson of the Karachi University Business School Dr Muhammad Asim for issuing a research journal within the limited amount of resources and facilities. He recalled that he had made a decision back in 2016 while he was working as a Dean Faculty of Management and Administrative Sciences that a research journal should be issued for all the departments of the faculty of management sciences.
The KU VC Professor Dr Khalid Iraqi was delighted to share that there has been a significant rise in the number of publications of research journals at the University of Karachi. He expressed that all the research journals issued from the University of Karachi are strictly following the international standards and protocols of research.
Meanwhile, the acting Dean Faculty of Management and Administrative Sciences Professor Dr Nasreen Aslam Shah anticipated that the journal of KUBS would get reorganisation and higher ranking by the Higher Education Commission Pakistan after its four publications.
Earlier, Chairman KUBS Dr Muhammad Asim, while sharing the background and achievements of the business school, informed the audience that more than 60 percent of the publications are from Germany, South Africa, and Turkey.
