What It Is

SchoRes (Scholarly Research Publishing) is a platform centered on academic conferences, paper presentations, and open-access publishing. It is affiliated with SNP Welfare, a registered charity in Pakistan. It is not a typical online course or career training website; instead, it provides researchers with opportunities for interdisciplinary conference submissions, presentations, conference proceedings, and journal publication.

Key Aspects

In terms of subject coverage, SchoRes spans a wide range of fields, including education, social sciences and humanities, health, life sciences and biomedicine, physical sciences and engineering, agriculture, computer science, and business management. Its education-related tracks include conferences or journals such as Education, Primary Education, Higher Education, Distance and E-learning, and Technology in Education. The delivery format is more accurately described as academic conference talks, paper presentations, and research exchange rather than structured coursework. The platform uses the IOARP Editorial System for online submissions and states that papers must be reviewed by at least two reviewers or technical committee members. Accepted and presented papers may be published in the Global Digital Library, which the website says is indexed by Google Scholar.

Pricing and Policies

The main text does not disclose specific conference registration fees or journal article processing charges. It only states that conferences are offered at the “cheapest rates” and that conference authors are charged registration fees, while journal authors are charged processing fees. The refund policy is relatively clear: applications made 90 days before the conference start date are eligible for a full refund, those made 60 days before are eligible for a 50% refund, and no refunds are available after that. Article processing fees are non-refundable once paid.

Pros and Cons

Strengths include broad subject coverage, an extensive conference list, and published policies on open access, copyright, plagiarism checking, retraction, appeals, and ethics. Some conferences also have partnerships with universities in Pakistan. Weaknesses include limited pricing transparency and limited key information about the journals’ and conferences’ international impact, inclusion in major indexing databases, review timelines, and acceptance rates. The website also contains details such as spelling issues and inconsistent years, so careful verification is recommended.

Who It’s For

SchoRes is more suitable for university faculty, graduate students, independent researchers, and industry practitioners who want to present papers, find academic networking opportunities, or try open-access publishing. If your goal is structured skills learning, obtaining course certificates, or taking career training, SchoRes is not an ideal choice.

Access from China

The crawled text does not provide information on access performance from mainland China, and it is not possible to determine whether direct access is stable. china_access is therefore marked as unknown.
