Sinta was given to a scientific journal that was successfully submitted through the Akreditasi Jurnal Nasional Portal (Arjuna). Ervina reveals that the entry of research articles on the indexed journals also indicates the quality of the articles. “For lecturers, will certainly increase their credits,” he said.

ITS that currently has 900 more lecturers and 20,000-an students this has great potential in publishing their scientific articles. Therefore, Ervina would regret it if various research of ITS students and lecturers were not published in various journals. “The cost of publishing articles in several journals belonging to ITS is free,” said the Lecturer of Department of Civil Engineering ITS.

The journals published by ITS, according to Ervina, also have their uniqueness. Unlike other institutions, the journal published by the ITS has a more specific scope. “So it’s no wonder that many of ITS journals are successfully indexed by Sinta,” said this air transport expert.

Some of the terms are the publication of articles for two consecutive years and in a year there are at least two different issues. Then there should be a minimum of five articles on each of these issues.

Currently, according to Ervina again, ITS is processing the proposal of three other scientific journals to be announced next year. “Hopefully, the entire journal that is owned later can be indexed all,” she concluded with full of hope. (sof/rev/ITS Public Relations)
