We are full of ambitious plans. That is why the company continues to invest in the development of WEB platforms, innovative projects and, most importantly, the development of human resources. The company has supported and will support scientists from Indonesia and other developing countries, as well as developing countries. For them, we apply full or partial financing for the processing of the best goods at the expense of the company. This is about 15 percent of the articles published. We feel the impact of competition in the publishing market. This does not scare us, but inspires us. We believe in the future of Indonesian science and are ready to work to make it happen. We funded the development and implementation of the Journal International Compliance Index (JIC Index) to help young and promising journals in Indonesia in their efforts to achieve best publishing practices. We are also ready to collaborate with journals such as publishers and invite them to our publishing platform. We are very grateful to all scholars who believed and still believe in the possibility of creating and developing Indonesian scientific journals that are open to the world community. The Company will make every effort to meet your expectations. Our hope is that we can work together in the future. We are open to business and academic proposals and collaborations.
