Abstract: This study aims to analyze past studies related to Malaysia Research Assessment (MyRA) and provide a comprehensive literature review of MyRA. The objective of this study is to analyze the themes and focus of past studies related to MyRA, particularly the role of MyRA in research development, challenges in MyRA implementation, and strategies to improve MyRA rating achievement. This study uses a qualitative literature review design to analyze past studies related to MyRA. Data were obtained from secondary sources such as these, dissertations, journal articles, conference papers, reference books, and websites discussing the study’s topic. The data were analyzed thematically. The main findings of the study indicate that MyRA plays an important role in research development in Malaysian higher education institutions, but there are challenges in its implementation, such as language barriers, limited access to publishing opportunities, and competition for publication in high-impact journals. Therefore, recommended strategies to overcome these challenges include improving English language skills, increasing access to publishing opportunities, and improving research quality. In conclusion, MyRA plays an important role in research development in Malaysian higher education institutions, and the recommended strategies need to be implemented to improve MyRA rating achievement.
