Journal Publications and Scientific Research Literature on the Internet

One interesting thing that may also be a question for some colleagues engaged in the research world, both students are again plotting thesis / thesis / dissertation, as well as for lecturers or researchers in research institutes. Study of literature in the research process is obligatory, because from there the research began to move. Well, the scientific literature that will be the reference of this should be what and where the failure by? 

It should be noted that in scientific research, the main reference is the most valid scientific journals (scientific journal), only then can conference proceedings, scientific reports, books and other publications. Altitude degree a scientific journal is usually determined by a value called the impact factor. Impact factors are determined from the number of references (citations) to papers in scientific journals. In some disciplines, journals are very high impact factornya usually issued by scientific associations and respected old age. For example in the field of electronics, communications and computers, journals and transactions published by the IEEE and ACM who have a high impact factor. There was also a scientific journal published by publishers such as Elsevier, Kluwer Academic, etc.. Papers in scientific journals sometimes direct submission of papers (shipping papers), or often from the selected paper (paper option) of an International Conference.

Scientific journals in Indonesia to be honest looks a bit chaotic and chaotic. Not many scientific associations which actually supports the â € œkegiatan ilmiahâ €? and publishes a large and respected journals. Each university publishes its own scientific journal, even many scientific journals published by the department or faculty. Finally, scientific journals grew like mushrooms, come thousands in quick time and many are drowning in a short time also. The reason why? Perhaps because we are not confident champion alias, no cost, or because there is no pre-eminent research theme. The reason the least interesting is because pingin quickly rises to committee papers kum (credit), so they can quickly become a professor or APU:) For the record review process is time-consuming in international journals. From submission to be published a year or even more. Revision process also can be used many times depending galaknya reviewer: (

Interesting Facts, a report from Thomson Scientific (United States) said that the number of scientific papers published during 2004 by researchers in Indonesia (which is affiliated to research institutes or universities in Indonesia) amounted to 522 scientific papers. This amount is only a third of the scientific papers produced by Malaysia (1438 paper). At the ASEAN level, Indonesia was ranked fourth after Singapore (5781 paper), Thailand (2397 paper) and Malaysia. Which is close to Indonesia are Vietnam (453 paper). Hopefully we are researchers and lecturers in Indonesia remain in the struggle for the pursuit of our neighbors who are running faster and faster:)
