Summary

Introduction

The rapidly changing world requires universities in Indonesia to be able to improve the nation's competitiveness through the publication of educational research at the international level. International publications serve to enhance a country's self-image in the educational and scientific quality. Countries that have good quality in education, science and technology tend to have a high number of international publications. Indonesia's 6th Nawacita agenda encompasses the integration of research activities of ministries with state institutions and universities which has led the country to reach second place in the number of scientific publications, outperforming Singapore and Thailand. Indonesia had published 5,299 articles in 2013 and almost four-fold in 2018 becoming 20,610 articles. The following graph presents the comparison of ASEAN countries in the number of international publications during the period of 2013 – 2018
