A Journal of the National Institute of Pakistan Studies will be published in the near future. The name of the journal will be Scrutiny. The original (theoretical and empirical) contributions by Pakistani as well as international scholars will be included in the journal. All important fields like geography, economics, linguistics, anthropology, history, political science, demography and environment with reference to Pakistan will be analyzed in general and recommendations regarding these fields of study will help in the development of Pakistan.
The National Institute of Pakistan Studies will appreciate contributions of authors in the fields mentioned above. As Scrutiny is an academic journal, therefore, only contributions of high quality will be published after blind peer review. The process entails sending copies of the submitted articles to three referees without the name of the author. The authors are requested to make sure that they do not refer to their own work unless absolutely necessary. Such references should not be recognized in order to ensure anonymity.
The first issue of the journal will be published by the end of the current year. Articles for the first journal should reach the Executive Editor, Dr. M. Azam Chaudhary of the National Institute of Pakistan Studies by 1st August, 2008. All faculty members/researchers are requested to send their articles by the due date.
