Singaraja– The term journal is commonly used in the academic field. A journal can simply be understood as a scientific written work. The journal is written with an academic orientation. A journal is also called a collection of articles in a particular field of science. Journal publications are usually carried out as a team, including writers, editors, layouters, and so on. So, a journal is not a single article or paper written, but a scientific publication in the form of a collection of articles.
Currently, one of the important points in carrying out the function of the Tridharma of Higher Education by lecturers is carrying out research and publishing the results of their thoughts and analysis. The performance of lecturers, which then becomes the performance of departments, faculties, and universities, is greatly influenced by how extensive and quality the publications of their permanent lecturers are.
Publication demands made by the higher education academic community have had a significant impact on lecturers’ awareness of the importance of conducting studies, research, and writing scientific papers. The development of scientific work in Indonesia is relatively improving, especially since the implementation of government regulations, which require undergraduate, master’s and doctoral students to write articles in scientific journals as a prerequisite for graduation. Of course, lecturers are increasingly demanding to actively write in scientific journals, both at the accredited national level and in reputable international journals.
