JOURNAL ARCHIVE SEARCH
Pakistan Scientific and Technological Information Centre (PASTIC) a functioning unit of Pakistan Science
Foundation (PSF) under the umbrella of Ministry of Science & Technology is a national hub for collection
and dissemination of scientific and technological information published in Pakistan. Abstracting and
Indexing Service (AIS) was initiated by PASTIC back in 1960. Looking onto the dire need of the journal
publishers as well as scientific community to have a single platform for journal archiving and accessing
to fulfill the research gap in line with the national needs, the initiative of launching Pakistan's
first National journals' publishers consortium was implemented under the development project titled
"Development of National Digital Archive of Research Published in Pakistani Journals". The project is
mainly aimed to archive and disseminate indigenous research content published in Pakistani Journals.
