The Directorate-General for Scientific Research and Technological Development (DGRSDT) has made available to the national scientific community the updated lists of scientific journals classified under Category (A) and Category (B), organized according to the major fields of research. The Directorate-General has also published the updated lists of predatory journals and predatory publishers.
The lists can be accessed through the Scientific Journals section of the official website of the Directorate-General for Scientific Research and Technological Development.
The provisions of this journal classification shall apply to all scientific articles submitted from July 30, 2026, onwards.
Important Notice
In addition to being classified under Category (A) or Category (B) by the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, a scientific journal must not be identified as predatory or published by a predatory publisher.
Furthermore, the journal must be free of charge, with no article processing or publication fees, except for scientific journals indexed in Web of Science or Scopus.
Researchers are kindly requested to verify the credibility of scientific journals before submitting their work and to refrain from publishing in predatory journals. They are also encouraged to notify the Directorate-General of any suspicious or cloned journal so that it may be considered for inclusion in the next update.
