UNAIR NEWS – Airlangga University (UNAIR) has once again scored a brilliant achievement. A total of 23 UNAIR scientific journals were successfully accredited and reaccredited at SINTA 1 to SINTA 5, as released by the Institute for Innovation, Journal Development, Publishing and Intellectual Property Rights (LIPJPHKI) on Friday (15/10/2024).
Journal reaccreditation and accreditation in SINTA (Science and Technology Index) is part of the quality assessment and recognition process for the quality of scientific journals in Indonesia, by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology (Kemendikbudristek) through ARJUNA (National Journal Accreditation).
Key Strategy
Chair of LIPJPHKI UNAIR, Prof H Hery Purnobasuki Drs M Si PhD said that this achievement was the result of the commitment and hard work of the UNAIR academic community. He explained that the main strategy for success was the application of the “Super Team” concept and the preparation of a systematic journal development road map.
“This roadmap makes it easier for us to oversee improvements in the quality and status of journal indexes,” said Prof Hery in his statement on Friday (22/10/2024).
Each journal has a specific indexation target with assistance at the university level. According to him, having a clear roadmap will make it easier to achieve higher and better quality journal indexation.

Kudos to the brains behind this glorious achievement, as reported by the Institute for Innovation, Journal Development, Publishing and Intellectual Property Rights (LIPJPHKI) on Friday, October 15, 2024.
Now, getting accredited is no walk in the park, folks. It’s part of a rigorous quality assessment and recognition process for scientific journals in Indonesia, overseen by none other than the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology (Kemendikbudristek). You know it’s serious when there’s a whole acronym involved – ARJUNA, which stands for National Journal Accreditation. Sounds fancy, doesn’t it?
Key Strategy
Chair of LIPJPHKI UNAIR, the one and only Prof. H Hery Purnobasuki Drs M Si PhD – that’s a name longer than my grocery list! – humbly proclaimed that this success is the fruit of hard, sweaty work from the entire UNAIR academic community.

Along with that, a supremely organized journal development roadmap has been put in place. No wonder they’re keeping it all on track; after all, someone has to keep those academic robots from overheating!
According to Prof. Hery, this roadmap is their ‘Alsoran’ (the trusty compass of academic glory). He adds that having a clear indexation target is like having a GPS – it takes you where the quality is high, and the citations are even higher. Talk about an academic treasure hunt!
Support UNAIR’s Vision
What’s the big deal about this achievement, you ask? Well, it catapults UNAIR onto a national and international stage (put your party hats on!), enhancing their performance in research output. With journal quality going up, UNAIR is soon to be the go-to library for all national and international researchers. It’s like going from the corner shop to a posh supermarket — now that’s progress!
And let’s not forget about the critical performance indicators. UNAIR is keen to flaunt its Key Performance Indicator (IKU) 5 which is all about stuff that benefits society. You know, the noble librarian dream: “Look, I made the world a better place through my journal!”
Challenges and Solutions
However, not everything is rosy in academia-land. Prof. Hery admits there’s a bit of a hiccup – a limited number of quality manuscripts with enough diversity to keep things spicy. It’s like preparing bread without the yeast; you need that rising action, right? So, how do they plan to handle this dilemma? By raising the quality of their journals and catering to those reputable writers out there—because nothing screams “send me your best work” like a journal with a stellar reputation!
Prof. Hery wraps it up with a silver lining: “Journal quality is a magnet for authors.” It’s like saying, “Come join us for this riveting academic fiesta; we’ve got snacks and citations aplenty!” With clear targets set for each journal, UNAIR is primed to make a stronger imprint on the world of academic research. Who knew academia could be such a thrill ride?
