Publishing management curriculum in Indonesia

Abstract

One effect of technology development is the dissemination of scientific publications that convert in electronic format. Generally, the basic practice between author, reader, and publisher in offering manuscript, reading, and publishing are not drastically changing. But, it is just changing the flow in digital format. However, in its implementation, many publishers still did not understand the ideal publication process management. This process and management are related to the pre-publishing, production process, and post-publishing. Therefore, this article describes the curriculum design to implement it into formal education, especially in higher education at the magister level. Since there is no formal education in scientific publication management in Indonesia, this curriculum design is the potential to develop. In its development, the curriculum is adopted based on existing related courses from several universities abroad. Those curricula are collected and compared for further development according to the needs. The results extract several courses divided into four semesters with detailed information related to the management of the scientific publication. It is expected that the graduates of this program be able to contribute to the scientific publication business and industry and fulfill the needs of scientific content both in quantity and quality.
