Abstract

Academic journals serve as essential platforms for disseminating universities' and other educational institutions' research and scholarly contributions. They reflect the value and significance of higher education within society and play a vital role in the national and international rankings of universities and academic associations. Regrettably, Afghanistan's higher education system has been marred by protracted conflict and instability, preventing the establishment of standardized mechanisms for national and international academic journals. The primary objective of this article is to underscore the pivotal role that academic journals can play in the higher education landscape of Afghanistan. It strongly advocates urgently establishing national and international academic journals within Afghanistan's universities and academic associations. Such journals would not only serve as vehicles for showcasing research but also enhance the reputation of these institutions on a global scale.
