A performance indicator for a country’s research activity is the number of international publications in good quality and reputable international journals. Such publications in highly-reputable international journals are indicators of high-quality research and high-quality human resources in terms of science and technology innovation. One way to increase the number of publications in international journals is to promote target journals with high-quality articles. In order to be recognized as a good international journal, it should be registered in reputable international indexing organizations such as Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), and EBSCO. While Indonesia has more than 14,000 scientific journals [1], only a few journals are indexed in international databases. Up to 2019, Scopus indexes 49 Indonesian scientific journal titles [2], the Clarivate Analytics master journal list indexes 63, and DOAJ indexes 1,358. Those figures show that the majority of Indonesian scientific journals need improvement in order to be recognized as good quality international journals for acceptance by international indexes. The Indonesian government has provided some support and policies to improve the quality of journals in the country. In the late 1990s, the Indonesian government introduced an accreditation system for national journals that aimed to improve journal management and quality. In the late 2000s, that measure was followed by the journals’ internationalization policy for accredited publications [3]. The government provides grants for journal editors for the preparation of accreditation and internationalization, as well as workshops and assistance for both programs. Yet the sheer volume of journals in Indonesia means that the government is unable to assist them all. Therefore, the establishment of the Indonesian Association of Scientific Journal Editors (IASJE) is a necessary step to support government programs aimed at improving journal quality in Indonesia.

成立印度尼西亚科学期刊编辑协会

一个国家研究活动的绩效指标是在高质量和知名国际期刊上发表的国际出版物数量。这些在国际知名期刊上发表的文章是科技创新方面高质量研究和高素质人力资源的指标。增加国际期刊发表数量的一种方法是用高质量的文章推广目标期刊。要想成为优秀的国际期刊，必须在Scopus、Web of Science、PubMed、开放获取期刊目录（DOAJ）、EBSCO等国际知名的索引组织进行注册。虽然印度尼西亚拥有 14,000 多种科学期刊 [1]，但只有少数期刊被国际数据库收录。截至 2019 年，Scopus 索引了 49 个印度尼西亚科学期刊 [2]，Clarivate Analytics 主期刊列表索引了 63 个，DOAJ 索引了 1,358 个。这些数字表明，大多数印度尼西亚科学期刊需要改进，才能成为被国际索引接受的优质国际期刊。印度尼西亚政府提供了一些支持和政策，以提高该国的期刊质量。1990 年代后期，印度尼西亚政府为国家期刊引入了认证系统，旨在提高期刊管理和质量。在 2000 年代后期，期刊对认可出版物的国际化政策遵循了该措施[3]。政府为期刊编辑准备认证和国际化提供补助金，以及这两个项目的研讨会和援助。然而，印度尼西亚的期刊数量庞大，意味着政府无法为所有人提供帮助。因此，印度尼西亚科学期刊编辑协会 (IASJE) 的成立是支持旨在提高印度尼西亚期刊质量的政府计划的必要步骤。
