{"title":"Understanding policy and practice of peripheral journal publishing in Indonesian higher education context","authors":"Muhammad Affan Ramadhana","doi":"10.30605/25409190.299","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.30605/25409190.299","url":null,"abstract":"In a 2014 paper, Salager-Meyer defined two main categories of academic journals, center and peripheral. Peripheral journals are mostly written in the national language of where the journals are located, although some of them start using English as a secondary language (Salager-Meyer, 2014). On the other hand, center journals - in some cases referred to as prestigious international journals - are written in English as the default communication among established scholars. It has been a common fact nowadays that to gain tenure or promotion, scholars in many parts of the world have to publish their research in a so-called higher-ranking/center journals, even if they are from the ‘periphery’ of the academic community. Given the pressure situation to publish in those center journals, some scholars are even more familiar with the structure and organization of a research paper in English rather than their own local languages (Bocanegra-Valle, 2014). \u0000However, not every scholar is able to publish in higher-ranking/center journals. Some of them are novice scholars who have never written journal articles before. Therefore, they need to publish in lower-ranking journals with their own local languages. Some scholars may also prefer to publish in English and to be reviewed by international referees. The suitable journals for that might be ‘international’ in certain senses, but essentially, they are published by national institutions. For novice or beginner scholars, it might be a good first step toward publishing in more prestigious journals. Those journals have an important role for early stage researchers who need to practice their academic writing (Kulczycki, Rozkosz, & Drabek, 2019). \u0000That situation transformed many long-established peripheral journals, including those published by Indonesian universities, towards internationalization in many aspects. For journals from non-English-speaking countries, internationalization means publishing articles in English by local scholars, encouraging authors from foreign countries to publish in local journals, and reviewing articles by international scholars (Kulczycki, Rozkosz, & Drabek, 2019). \u0000Regarding the main language in those journals, some authors positively perceived the use of English for research publication purposes, yet, there still exists some resistance to the hegemony of English (Bocanegra-Valle, 2014). Therefore, instead of full transformation into English, Salager-Meyer (2014) suggested a multilingual publishing model of national peripheral journals by presenting English abstracts and keywords for every article published. This model would still allow the international scientific community to be aware of worthwhile peripheral insights and research results yet does not throw the national language away. \u0000However, national peripheral journals are frequently perceived as having a low-level quality. One of the key problems of local journals is that their readership is very small and hardly ever transcends n","PeriodicalId":52818,"journal":{"name":"Ethical Lingua Journal of Language Teaching and Literature","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46890989","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, the researcher found that almost all staffs understand the terms even though they do not speak English fluently. However, for the new employer and trainee, most of them are somewhat distressed and said they did not know the terms because their educational background is not hospitality and the trainee said that some of the terms are not in their school textbook.

The Interactive analysis is done by collecting data, reducing data, presenting data, and drawing conclusions. The results of the data analysis show that two teachers were not too familiar with e-learning, so they still have many obstacles in the teaching process by using e-learning. There are several obstacles, such as obstacles in teaching by using e-learning as devices, teachers' knowledge, time management, and students ’motivation. In order to run e-learning entirely, then these obstacles should be solved first.

Toward this end, qualitative and quantitative analyses of reformulation devices were conducted. The corpora were compiled by downloading articles from academic journals which were selected via convenience sampling. Each corpus included approximately one million words. All the analyses were conducted through employing Murillo’s (2004, 2007) classification which consists of three broad categories: explicit meaning functions (identification, specification, and explanation), conceptual meaning functions (definition and denomination), and implicit meaning functions (conclusion and mathematical operation). After analyzing the data, Chi-square tests were performed to determine whether the results found in the analysis were statistically significant. The results revealed that there were differences between the functions of reformulation markers (RMs) across research articles written by native and non-native writers. In particular, they differ in terms of their types and functions, where non-native writers of applied linguistics research articles (RAs) use RMs much more frequently than native writers of applied linguistics. In light of the findings, recommendations are made for EAP classes as well.","PeriodicalId":52818,"journal":{"name":"Ethical Lingua Journal of Language Teaching and Literature","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46424941","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
