The International Association for Quality Assurance in Pre-Tertiary and Higher Education (QAHE) has signed a memorandum of understanding with Vijoriya International Publications, publisher of the Vijoriya International Journal for Research & Innovation (VIJRI), ISSN 3107-9806. The memorandum, dated 6 October 2026, covers publication and recognition cooperation.
The parties will cross-refer authors and institutions. Neither party acquires the other’s authority. QAHE may offer Vijoriya publication as an optional add-on to accredited institutions, honorary awardees and authors who have a paper or a short book ready. QAHE will describe the open-access model and direct authors to publication@vijoriya.com and to https://publication.vijoriya.com/submission. Submission, review and acceptance remain with Vijoriya. QAHE will not present a paper as accepted and will not alter the article-processing charge.
QAHE may consider a Vijoriya author for the Distinguished Scholar Award, described at https://www.qahe.org/distinguished-scholar-award-recognizing-excellence-in-education-and-research/. A published paper is evidence, not an automatic award. Each nomination is assessed on the author’s record. The listing fee is US$650 for a digital certificate and website profile, or US$850 for a hard-copy certificate and website profile, plus a 5 per cent administration charge. The award is a recognition of scholarly contribution. It is not an academic degree and it confers no right to supervise or to award qualifications.
Vijoriya will place a short notice and a link to www.qahe.org on its website, using a logo, a two-line description and links supplied by QAHE, pointing to the accreditation application at https://www.qahe.org/accreditation-membership-form/ and to the Distinguished Scholar Award page. QAHE accreditation is an institutional quality-assurance decision. A Vijoriya publication is a journal article or a book.
The memorandum takes effect when both parties have signed it and continues until either party ends it by written notice of thirty days. It creates no exclusive right and no payment between the parties, other than the award fee where an author applies. Sample publications are available in the Vijoriya archives at https://publication.vijoriya.com/archives.
