Achievement

Indonesian Journal of Chemistry (official abbreviation Indones. J. Chem)  is an international journal covering all aspect of Chemistry, including Chemical Education and Chemical Engineering. Since 2012, Indonesian Journal of Chemistry has been indexed by a major indexing authority called Scopus. Most of the major journals are indexed in Scopus. The journal publishes original research papers, short communications, and review articles. The paper published in this journal implies that the work described has not been, and will not be published elsewhere, except in abstract, as part of a lecture, review or academic thesis. This journal is published by Department of Chemistry, Gadjah Mada University, with ISSN: 14119420. 

Indonesian Journal of Chemistry appeared first in 1999 with an edition of papers written in Bahasa Indonesia. Now at the age of 17, it only publishes papers in English with abstract prepared in Bahasa Indonesia and English.

In December 2015, the journal has SJR of 0.175 and citation per paper of 0.337. The SJR indicator measures the scientific influence of the average article in a journal; it expresses how central to the global scientific discussion an average article of the journal is. Cites per Doc. (2-years) measures the scientific impact of an average article published in the journal; it is computed using the same formula that journal impact factor™ (Thomson Reuters).

In UGM, it is only among a few journals that gain an international reputation and being indexed in Scopus. The contribution of the Department of Chemistry Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences to advance chemical science makes us proud.

It is of UGM commitment to be reputable in both national and international levels. Among other well-known universities in Indonesia, UGM is of one the top three in the country from time to time. Also, UGM continuously demands each of the programs (undergrad, M.Sc., and Ph.D. programs) to obtain international accreditation.

Currently, each of study programs in the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences is accredited by Indonesian Directorate General of Higher Education (DIKTI) with Grade A. It means that each study program performs well at the national level.   However, the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences encourages every department and study program to raise their level of accreditation in both regional and international levels.

Chemistry undergraduate program has pioneered to achieve the international accreditation. Since October 2009, the undergraduate program of chemistry has been accredited by the ASEAN University Network (AUN) Quality Assurance. In addition, this undergraduate program has also been granted an international reputation for achieving accreditation by the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), London. The accreditation is valid until March 2018.

Following the footstep of the undergraduate program in chemistry, the undergraduate program in mathematics has also been active in obtaining international recognition. In 2014, the undergraduate program in mathematics had also been assessed by the AUN-QA. In 2015, the undergraduate program in geophysics has submitted its Self Assessment Report to AUN-QA.
