As the national research publication performance keeps increasing, RGUHS as one of the best health universities in the world should increase the quality of our research publications.

RGUHS has done a significant modification in publication policies, as a result the publication regularity has significantly improved. The university also aims at publishing quality research papers by increasing impactful publications, as measured by references to journal articles and conference papers. 

RJPS is introducing online ‘Research Publication’ courses to train our students and faculties on writing quality publication. Please contact the editor-in-chief for more details.

Let’s grow ourselves as quality research and publication university training the students for the same.
