Rectorate, UIN News Online – Rector of UIN Jakarta Amany Lubis encourages the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences (FISIP) UIN Jakarta lecturers to write international reputable journal and article. This was said by Rector Amany during an online FISIP lecturer meeting, Tuesday (02/02/2021).

According to Amany, scientific writing activity, especially internationally reputable journal and indexed by Scopus is considered very important in order to increase the capacity of both lecturers and the UIN Jakarta institution itself.

“We have to admit that the scientific articles writing activities published in international journals and indexed by Scopus at UIN Jakarta still needs to be improved,” said Rector.

She also added that the number of articles indexed by Scopus at UIN Jakarta was still inadequate. This means that the number of lecturers and the scientific work produced is not proportional, especially those indexed by Scopus.

“Currently, there are around 850 Scopus indexed journals, while the number of lecturers is around 1,200,” she added.

Therefore, Amany hopes that FISIP, which has many excellent lecturers, will be able to improve its scientific work at the international level.

Meanwhile, the lecturer meeting which was officially opened by the Dean of FISIP Ali Munhanif and guided by the Deputy Dean for General Administration and Finance A Bakir Ihsan aimed to evaluate the odd semester lecture activities and also prepare lecture activities in the even semester. According to Ali Munhanif, even semester classes will begin in March, 2021.

“Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we will use distant learning method (online). I hope all lecturers will remain enthusiastic in teaching and serving the students,” he said.

Ali also said that FISIP UIN Jakarta is currently implementing the "Free Learning" and "Free Campus" programs. The program was initiated through the "Permata Sari" program or Pertukaran Mahasiswa Tanah Air Nusantara denganSistem Alih Kredit (the Indonesian National Student Exchange program with Credit Transfer System).
