Junior Research Program
The Junior Researcher Program (JRP) is designed for early-career researchers at SIMAD University who have no prior indexed publications. This initiative provides a structured platform for emerging researchers to develop their research skills under the guidance of experienced supervisors. The program spans one year, during which participants are expected to produce a minimum of one publication in a Scopus, WOS, or ERA-indexed journal, specifically in Q3 or Q4. To qualify for the JRP, researchers must meet the eligibility criteria of the SIMAD University Research Grant. The university allocates $1,500 in research funding, which is disbursed only after the article is successfully indexed in Scopus, WOS, or ERA-indexed journal.
