Preparation of Accreditation for Scientific Journal Quality Assurance

Regulation of the Minister of Research, Technology and Higher Education number 9 of 2018 concerning Accreditation of Scientific Journals is a very important part of the effort to reform the bureaucratic quality assurance management of national scientific journals. Publishers of scientific journals must maintain and improve the quality of their publications so that their publications become a vehicle for scientific communication between researchers, academics, and the user community in achieving their goals, namely developing science and meeting development needs in Indonesia. Journal accreditation is a form of quality control of scientific journals. Scientific journals submitted for accreditation must meet the specified requirements. This study aims to determine the preparation for accreditation to improve the quality of scientific journals. This research is descriptive comparative in nature with the research data being electronic scientific journals registered at OJS. The study results show that in terms of publication period, most scientific journals have been able to apply for accreditation, but for the completeness of other requirements, they have not been fulfilled.
