The international scientific database Scopus implements a policy of selecting scientific content that meets the highest quality standards. Only the best scientific publications will be peer-reviewed and approved by an international advisory board. Two Indonesian scientific journals were indexed in the Scopus database last month, an important development in the Indonesian scientific space.
Scopus policy on inclusion of scientific journals in the database
Key criteria for evaluating publications for inclusion in the scientometric database:
-
availability of international standardized serial publication number (ISSN)
-
high quality of published scientific materials
-
transparent editorial policy
-
high scientometric indicators.
This policy aims to maintain a high level of scientific publications and provide researchers from all over the world with access to quality and relevant scientific materials.

Chairman of Association of Research Journals Management in Higher Education Institutions Nahdlatul Ulama (ARJUNU) Fifi Khoyrul Fitria shared in an interview that the process of achieving indexation for the two mentioned journals in Scopus was quite lengthy and challenging. Both journals have undergone numerous stages of thorough and lengthy evaluation since the beginning of 2023.
How has the inclusion of Indonesian journals in Scopus impacted the development of science in Indonesia?
Scopus, one of the world's largest abstract and citation databases, sets very high standards for evaluation. The inclusion of two scholarly Indonesian journals in the global international Scopus database demonstrates the unprecedented quality and relevance of the content published in the journals.
The inclusion of two journals with Indonesian roots demonstrates a significant scientific breakthrough in Indonesia and strengthens the position of Indonesian scientists in the international scientific arena, as well as the recognition of researchers' contributions by the global academic community.
Indonesia has great scientific potential. These achievements reflect the country's broad scientific interests and capabilities, indicating a strong scientific base. In 2024, more scientific journals have been submitted to the Scopus database for peer review, with indexing expected this year.
The compliance of Indonesian scientific journals with international standards opens great opportunities for international cooperation, funding of scientific projects of Indonesian scientists and, as a result, sustainable economic development of the country.
