This study, used three steps methodology; (1). Collecting Data, were collected from secondary Scopus data year 2014-2018 from KemenristekDIKTI in scientific publication focus on New and Renewable Energy, (2) identifying Scopus data based on sub-focus of New and Renewable Energy, (3). Data analysis using frequency distribution, (Determine the range of data, determine the classes, and determine the class interval). This study concluded that 94 % (250) of 266 universities published journal indexed Scopus on range 1-44 journal publications within 5 years.
