Peer Review Panel of Journal Applications for DHET Accreditation

The Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) requested the Academy of Science of South Africa (ASSAf) to assist in constituting a Peer Review Panel to evaluate the new and re-applications of journals for DHET accreditation. A panel of 13 expert scholars were selected from ASSAf Membership, SAYAS and the National Research Foundation (NRF) databases. There were 13 journals under review from various fields of Economics and Public Administration, Education, Health, Humanities, Law and Politics. The panel met virtually on 20 November 2020. Reports from the meeting will be sent to the DHET in the last week of November.
