The Scientific Journals and Publications Unit (JUPI) organized a Technical Guidance Program on Improving Scientific Journal Accreditation Status at Universitas Udayana (Unud) as part of its efforts to strengthen scientific journal management and encourage improvements in journal accreditation rankings across the university. The event was officially opened by the Vice Rector for Research, Innovation, and Downstreaming of Unud, Prof. Dr. Gusti Ngurah Alit Susanta Wirya, S.P., M.Agr., and featured Dr. Muh Firyal Akbar, S.IP., M.Si., from Universitas Muhammadiyah Gorontalo as the keynote speaker.

This technical guidance program was conducted as part of the university’s efforts to enhance the capacity of scientific journal managers to meet applicable journal management standards and accreditation criteria. Improving journal accreditation status is a strategic step toward strengthening the quality of scientific publications and enhancing the competitiveness of research produced by the Universitas Udayana academic community.

In his remarks and opening address, the Vice Rector emphasized the importance of improving scientific publication quality as an integral part of strengthening academic culture and institutional development. Professional, consistent, and quality-oriented journal management is expected to facilitate the dissemination of research findings and increase the university’s contribution to the advancement of knowledge.

As the keynote speaker, Dr. Muh Firyal Akbar, S.IP., M.Si., from Universitas Muhammadiyah Gorontalo provided insights and guidance on strategies for improving scientific journal accreditation status. Through presentations and technical assistance, participants were expected to gain a deeper understanding of accreditation criteria, journal governance, article quality, publication consistency, and electronic journal management.

The program also provided an opportunity for journal managers at Unud to identify areas requiring improvement and further development in their respective journals. With a more comprehensive understanding of accreditation standards, journal managers are expected to formulate targeted and sustainable improvement strategies.

Improving scientific journal accreditation status involves more than fulfilling administrative requirements. It also requires a strong commitment to article quality, academic integrity, professional management, and publication sustainability. Therefore, collaboration among journal managers, supported by institutional commitment, is essential to establishing high-quality and reputable scientific journals.

Through this initiative, Universitas Udayana hopes that its scientific journals will continue to improve their management quality, achieve higher accreditation rankings, and expand their contributions to the dissemination of research findings at both national and international levels.

The Technical Guidance Program on Improving Scientific Journal Accreditation Status reflects Universitas Udayana’s commitment to enhancing the quality of scientific publications and strengthening the role of higher education institutions in advancing knowledge, technology, and innovation.
