Locating Journals Included in the Budget Model of the Planning and Budgeting Committee
The calculation of the number of scientific articles published by faculty members and researchers at the university relies on the lists of journals recognized by the budgeting model of the Planning and Budgeting Committee (PBC). The publication in journals recognized by the budgeting model affects the budget that the PBC grants to universities in Israel.
The PBC considers in the budgeting model the articles published in journals recognized by the budgeting model, but not other publications printed in them, such as book reviews, proceeding papers, reviews, letters, and more.
General Information
- The leading journals recognized by the budgeting model of the Planning and Budgeting Committee (PBC) in the fields of natural sciences, technology, and medicine, as well as in the social sciences, are also recognized by the international ranking ARWU (Shanghai Ranking).
- All journals recognized by the PBC budgeting model are peer-reviewed journals, but there are peer-reviewed journals in English, Hebrew, and other languages, belonging to various disciplines and fields of knowledge, that are not recognized by the budgeting model.
