Knowledge Sharing - How to check the Journal Impact Factors

Untuk manfaat bersama, terutamanya kepada ahli akademik yang sering menerbitkan artikel dalam jurnal. Tentu pernah bertanya apakah itu jurnal berwasit (referred journal) ?

Dipetik dari http://www.library.uiuc.edu/lsx/tutorial/section2.html

"Refereed materials are publications reviewed by "expert readers" or referees prior to the publication of the material. After reading and evaluating the material, the referee informs the publisher if the document should be published or if any changes should be made prior to publication. Refereed materials are also referred to as Peer Reviewed. Refereed materials are significant to the research and the literature of library and information science because they assure readers that the information conveyed is reliable and timely."

Maka, kita perlu pastikan berapakah kesan faktor (impact factor) terhadap artikel kita terbitkan itu di dalam sesebuah jurnal. Semakin tinggi kesan faktor, semakin tinggi nilai jurnal tersebut.

Selamat maju jaya dalam bidang penerbitan.
