The Faculty of Teacher Training and Education at Syiah Kuala University held a guest lecture on writing articles for reputable international scientific journals at the 3rd-floor Auditorium of FKIP USK (Banda Aceh, May 8, 2023).
The event, initiated by the Department of English Education at FKIP USK, featured Prof. Dr. Hajar binti Abdul Rahim from Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) as the main speaker. Prof. Hajar serves as the editor-in-chief of the “Journal of Humanities” at USM.
“Her journal is already indexed in Scopus Q1. Therefore, we will learn a lot about publishing scientific articles in reputable international journals directly from the expert,” said Prof. Dr. Asnawi, M.Ed., the Head of the English Education Department at FKIP USK.
In his speech, Prof. Asnawi conveyed that the event not only included a guest lecture on publishing reputable international journals but also involved the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between FKIP USK and Universiti Sains Malaysia.
“There are five departments/programs that are signing the MoU with USM today, namely the English Language Education Department (Bachelor’s and Master’s programs), Indonesian Language Education Department (Bachelor’s and Master’s programs), History Education Department, Geography Education Department, and Civic Education Department,” said Prof. Asnawi.
Prof. Hajar presented material on strategies for publishing scientific articles in reputable international journals. She covered fundamental aspects such as what, why, and how to write scientific publications in reputable international journals.
The guest lecture was attended by hundreds of undergraduate (S1) and graduate (S2) students from various programs at FKIP, including students from the English Language Education program (S1), Master’s in English Language Education, Master’s in Indonesian Language Education, History Education, Geography Education, Civic Education, and the Pre-Service Teacher Training Program at FKIP USK.
Dr. Drs. Syamsulrizal, M.Kes., the Dean of FKIP USK, stated in his address that currently, USK has only one reputable international journal, which is managed by faculty members of FKIP USK.
“The sole Scopus Q1 reputable journal at USK is currently managed by FKIP faculty, specifically the English Language Education Department. This is a source of pride for FKIP. Thank you, Prof. Yuyun,” Dr. Syamsulrizal said.
Prof. Yuyun is the nickname of Prof. Dr. Yunisrina Qismullah Yusuf, M.Ling. She is the editor-in-chief of the SiELE Journal, indexed in Scopus Q1. Prof. Yunisrina also serves as a reviewer for several reputable international journals.
Furthermore, Dr. Syamsulrizal mentioned that FKIP USK is currently making strides towards becoming a leading Teacher Education Institution (LPTK) in Aceh and Southeast Asia.
“Alhamdulillah (Praise be to God), FKIP can now admit students to the Doctoral Program in Education. We have received accreditation approval to open a Doctoral Program (S3) in Education from BAN-PT. Hopefully, this S3 program will enhance USK’s ranking in international webometrics,” Dr. Syamsulrizal concluded.
