Abstract

It was known that there were 5,900 scientific journals in Indonesia in 2013. Those journals were grouped into three classes, namely non-accredited journals (5,579 titles), accredited journals (342 titles), and international journals (16 titles), and most journals are published by universities, faculties, or departments [1]. In June 2019, the number of scientific journals increased to more than 14,000. Among them, only a few journals are indexed in international databases. Up to 2019, there were 49 journals in Scopus, 63 in Web of Science master journal list, and 1, 358 in Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) [2]. In July 2021, the number of journals in SCImago (https://www.scimagojr.com), which included Scopus journals, was 69; in Web of Science Master Journal List, 88; and in DOAJ, 1,867. It showed that there had been a remarkable improvement in the journal qualities. It may be possible not only by the editors’ and researchers’ devotion to the journals but also by the national policies of scholarly journal accreditation in Indonesia. Also, the Indonesian government has provided some support for journal publishing. It is necessary to review the scholarly journal accreditation policies to improve its system. This essay aims to explain the history of policies of scholarly journal accreditation, to clarify the current national accreditation policies, and to show trends in the journal accreditation in Indonesia

印尼学术期刊认证政策

据了解，2013年印尼共有5900种科学期刊。这些期刊分为三类，即非认可期刊（5579种）、认可期刊（342种）和国际期刊（16种），大多数期刊由大学、学院或系出版[1]。2019年6月，科学期刊数量增加到14000多份。其中，只有少数期刊在国际数据库中编入索引。截至2019年，Scopus共有49种期刊，Web of Science硕士期刊列表中有63种，开放获取期刊目录（DOAJ）中有1358种[2]。2021年7月，SCImago的期刊数量(https://www.scimagojr.com)，其中包括Scopus期刊，为69；网络科学硕士期刊列表，88；以及在DOAJ，1867年。这表明期刊质量有了显著的提高。这可能不仅取决于编辑和研究人员对期刊的投入，还取决于印尼学术期刊认证的国家政策。此外，印尼政府为期刊出版提供了一些支持。有必要对学术期刊认证政策进行审查，以完善其制度。本文旨在解释学术期刊认证政策的历史，阐明当前国家认证政策，并展示印度尼西亚期刊认证的趋势

期刊介绍： Science Editing (Sci Ed) is the official journal of the Korean Council of Science Editors (https://kcse.org) and Council of Asian Science Editors (https://asianeditor.org). It aims to improve the culture and health of human being by promoting the quality of editing and publishing scientific, technical, and medical journals. Expected readers are editors, publishers, reviewers, and authors of the journals around the world; however, specially focused to those in Asia. Since scholarly journals in Asia are mostly published by the academic societies, universities, or non-profit organizations, Sci Ed is sought to play a role in journal development. The number of publications from Asia is increasing rapidly and overpass that of other continents; meanwhile, the number of international journals and highly appreciated journals is yet to be coming forward. It is task of Asian editors to pledge the journal quality and broaden the visibility and accessibility. Therefore, its scope includes the followings in the field of science, technology, and medicine.
