Welcome to Pakistan Research Repository

Pakistan Research Repository is an ongoing project of the Higher Education Commission to promote the international visibility of research originating out of institutes of higher education in Pakistan. The aim of this service is to maintain a digital archive of all PhD and MPhil theses produced indigenously to promote the intellectual output of Pakistani institutions. It provides a free, single-entry access point to view the manuscript of research executed, and distribute this information as widely as possible.

The repository which is currently being populated with content has already made the full-text of over 1800 PhD theses available in high-quality digitized format, whilst a further 100 have been digitized and are in the process of upload. An additional 300 PhD theses are being digitized. Higher Education Commission has introduced a systematic mechanism for the collection and digitization of all the theses produced so far in Pakistan. The repository is estimated to hold approximately 3000 PhD theses by the end of 2008.
