Barriers and Opportunities in the Discoverability and Indexing of Student-Led Academic Journals

Introduction: Student-led journals are not commonly included in academic indexes and databases. This study explores the barriers that indexing requirements may present for student journals, as well as editors’ attitudes toward discoverability strategies and opportunities. Methods: An environmental scan of select eight indexes looks at potential barriers to inclusion and at indexing rates among Canadian student-led journals (n = 202). A survey of Canadian student editors (n = 47) and follow-up interviews (n = 7) focus on editors’ attitudes toward discoverability, indexing challenges, and opportunities. Results: Only 15% (n = 30) of Canadian student journals are indexed in at least one of the seven indexes included in this study, and 74% (n = 146) of open-access journals appear in Google Scholar, with Open Journal Systems (OJS) having the highest Google Scholar indexing rate (97%) as a platform. Student editors generally prioritize reaching their audiences via social media, word of mouth, and targeted promotion. For editors who seek indexing, the biggest challenges come from confusing inclusion criteria and processes, lack of knowledge and comfort, and lack of capacity for such projects. Discussion: Most reviewed indexes have some requirements that may be challenging, but not exclusively to student journals. The main challenge comes from editors’ self-perception of not belonging in academic indexes, lack of understanding about the process, and insufficient capacity for discoverability and promotional activities. Conclusion: The lack of discoverability puts student journals at risk of being invisible to readers and potential authors. Although academic indexing may not be a high priority for student editors, regular outreach and support from libraries and faculty advisors could help editors better use various discoverability opportunities.

TAQNIN FIKIH : Transformation of Marriage Law in Indonesia

Indonesia has a pluralist background, so realizing one rule accommodating all interests is a challenge. Among them is the unification of the rules on marriage. The purpose of this study is to explore historically the growth and development of taqnin from time to time, taqnin of marriage law in Indonesia, the legality of post-taqnin marriage law, challenges and opportunities, and challenges of taqnin. This literature research method uses quantitative with an exploratory analysis approach, namely analyzing fikih munakahat products transformed into positive law. Data processing by managing library materials (library research). Secondary data sources are Law Number 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage and the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI) and books and articles based on OJS (Open Journal System). Techniques for analyzing the data obtained were exploratory and descriptive analysis using the techniques of reduction, display, and verification. The results showed that, based on historical aspects, taqnin had been pursued since the abasiyah daulah but has experienced ups and downs in its implementation. Second, The transformed legal product is dynamic. Third: Munakahat jurisprudence has gone through the process of taqnin to have the legality of state law, so it becomes the primary source in marriage issues. Fourth: The opportunities and challenges faced are internal and external.

CPanel Server Hosting Security Against Malware and DDoS Attacks on the Open Journal System Platform

Purpose: This research analyzes the security of cPanel in protecting Open Journal Systems (O.J.S.) from DDoS attacks and malware infections. Since contemporary threats to this environment are continuously evolving, this investigation seeks to offer empirical findings and applicable suggestions for platform managers of academic publishing platforms. Methods: The method applies the scope of the literature study and tests system-specific security using cpanel features to test Imunify360, SSL Manager, IP Blocker, Site Quality Monitoring, Awstats, and Jetbackup. This is then followed by observing the server logs on cPanel, where any suspicious activities or signs of attacks can be identified. It contributes to the detection of attack patterns and weaknesses in a system. Result: This indicates several default settings within cPanel were found to be vulnerable and could allow exploitation for DDoS purposes. Tools available in cPanel helped eliminate malware and strengthen defense against DDoS attacks. This is verified by the AWStats check, which means a quicker and more secure access time from the server. Novelty: This study combines many security features and tools from cPanel to implement a complete manner of detecting and improving its security. This method will not only help find out what the weak points are but also provide actionable solutions that can be employed to secure your application. The research results offer a practical guide for system administrators to enhance cPanel security configurations. This includes applying amended security settings and using more tools to safely sweep O.J.S. from online threats.

Introduction of Open Journal System in the Framework of Supporting Scientific Publications for Physical Education Teachers Kuburaya District, West Kalimantan

One way to improve teacher professionalism is by encouraging teachers to write. The next step, once the writing is completed, is to publish it. Publishing before 2019 was still mostly done manually using printed journal books. Starting from 2019 until now, journals have begun to switch to online publishing. With online publishing, teachers automatically have to understand the procedures that apply in the open journal system (OJS) when sending articles. To bridge this need, Community Service is carried out so that teachers understand OJS which is now starting to become grounded. At least material on how to adjust templates, do submets, go through the process of review, copy editing, publishing and fees as a writer. This series of activities was given to teachers with the result that all teachers 100% understood the processes that occurred in the OJS journal.

Geogebra As A 21st Century Learning Tool: A Systematic Literature Review

Learning in the 21st century requires the use of media in learning which results in new desires and interests, increases motivation and stimulation in learning, and even has a psychological effect on students. Technology-based learning media can make learning more interesting, because the use of appropriate media can help convey material abstractly, so that students can more easily understand the material. The existence of technology in learning mathematics helps students in understanding mathematical concepts. One form of math learning media is GeoGebra. This study aims to analyze the distribution of education levels, materials, and 21st century skills that are most often used in the application of the GeoGebra application as a 21st Century Mathematics learning media. The research method used was systematic literature review. The research subjects were 33 journal articles obtained from the Scopus, Google Scholars, ScienceDirect, Springer, ResearchGate, OJS (Open Journal System), and Eric databases in the last 7 years. The results showed that the study of 21st century geogebra increased in 2020 and the peak occurred in 2022 with the research method used dominated by quasi-experiments. In addition, the junior high school education level, geometry transformation material and analytic geometry of the field, as well as creative thinking skills become the most dominating and widely conducted research.

Characterization of the collection of university scientific journals of health sciences in Cuba

Introduction: the existence of university scientific journals has a positive impact on undergraduate publication, encouraging and training new generations of researchers. Objective: to characterize the collection of University Scientific Journals of Health Sciences in Cuba. Method: observational, descriptive and transversal study in the 15 journals that form the University Scientific Journals of Health Sciences in Cuba. Production indicators were studied, as well as indexing. Results: 15 Cuban RCUs referring to the area of Health Sciences were identified. One hundred percent are installed in Open Journal System, and only one uses its version 3. 93,33 % have an ISSN. The journals Universidad Médica Pinareña and 16 de abril achieved a greater number of indexations. The database with the highest number of journals was REDIB (9), followed by DOAJ (4) and CAB International (4). The most productive year was 2021 (ndoc=394), with the most productive journals being 16 de Abril (ndoc=304) and Universidad Médica Pinareña (ndoc=274). The rate of change showed an increasing trend in the period 2018-2021, however it was negative (Tvar=-5,21) between 2021 and 2022. Conclusions: Cuba has a wide collection of University Scientific Journals, which are in a process of growth and consolidation. There was a tendency to increase the number of articles published in the journals. The journals Universidad Médica Pinareña and 16 de abril showed a greater development, achieving better indexing and a higher scientific production

Developing systems to encourage FAIR and secure research data

Welcome to first issue of IASSIST Quarterly for 2024; this is Volume 48 of the journal (IQ 48(1) 2024). The three papers in this issue represent different aspects of researchers’ use of data archives. Experts from three major data archives (ICPSR, IPUMS, and GESIS) share their experiences developing systems to make research resources in their archives more findable, accessible, and usable. Lafia, Million, and Hemphill in their article “Exploratory and directed search strategies at a social science data archive” investigate search strategies of users of a large social science data archive. In an effort to understand how users search for curated research data, the authors analyze data queries issued through the Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) website’s search box. The study is meant to inform archives and repositories of their users’ experience and help develop systems that encourage dataset findability, accessibility and reuse. The authors identify two types of data searches, exploratory and directed searches. They find that while users that issued exploratory queries were able to navigate the ICPSR website successfully and refine their searches, they may benefit from more explicit support for query reformation. The authors suggest ways development of tools and training could improve users’ experience. In the article “Stewarding our resources: Building a sustainable IPUMS archival document access system” Daina Magnuson describes IPUMS experience building a web interface to support exploration and dissemination of archival materials associated with IPUMS International (IPUMS-I). Ancillary materials, including thousands of unique pieces of census and survey documentation were obtained by IPUMS-I during data acquisition efforts. This rich source material was curated and preserved by archival staff. Magnuson describes in details the development of a system that would make these resources findable, searchable and downloadable to internal users as well as IPUMS researchers. Strategies describe may inform other data archives considering developing similar tools. Deborah Wiltshire in her article “Developing canonical ‘Safe Researcher’ training materials for Trusted Research Environment” describes the development of training materials for researchers applying to access restricted data through Trusted Research Environment (TRE). The increased use of a virtual desktop environment, as opposed to physical safe rooms, offers researchers easier and more flexible access to restricted data; however, it offers fewer physical safeguards. Attending a mandatory ‘Safe Researcher’ training is one of the principles of the Five Safe Framework[i] developed by the UK’s Office for National Statistics to bridge this gap and assure the safe use of sensitive data. The process described in the article could be easily adapted by other TREs according to their needs and settings (e.g., in-person vs. online training). In the spirit of making information findable, accessible and reusable, we’re happy to share that the Open Journal System platform from the University of Alberta has enabled author linking to ORCID. This means that IQ authors are now able to connect their ORCID iDs to their IQ publications, so that their ORCID profiles will automatically update with those citations as their articles are published. For existing IQ account holders, log into your account at the upper right of the IQ page, and go to Profile > Public. Then click “Create or Connect your ORCID iD” (just below the Homepage URL field). For details, see this video walkthrough of profile authentication. New IQ users will automatically be prompted to link (or create) their ORCID iDs during IQ account creation. Authors are also encouraged to note their ORCID iD link with their affiliation and contact information in an endnote when submitting a manuscript for publication. We hope to see many of you at the 49th Annual IASSIST Conference in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, May 28-31, 2024! Ofira Schwartz and Michele Hayslett, March 2024

Editor-in-Chief: A Brief Reflection and a New Home

The Journal of University Teaching and Learning Practice (JUTLP) has had quite the adventure since it began in 2004. The editorial team has evolved significantly in the past five years to better reflect the developing post-COVID-19 environment, alongside the elevation in expected quality of manuscripts. This Editorial provides a brief account of almost five years as an editor in JUTLP and documents key information ready for a move out of the current system and into an Open Access Publishing Association-funded instance of Open Journal Systems. The purpose of this Editorial is to serve as a notice for our readers, authors, and community of our new home, but also to provide stock of the achievements and records of the Journal in years gone by to accompany the notes made by Percy and colleagues (2021). We remain excited about our future, and of the possibilities a new home affords. We encourage you to remain part of our journey in promoting and engaging with practice-led research in the university sector; an area that seems to be incredibly important for future university decision-making.

Design and Implementation of Open Journal System (Ojs) for Rajagiri Journals: A Review

Design and Implementation of Open Journal System (Ojs) for Rajagiri Journals: A Review

Generación de grafos a partir de metadatos de revistas científicas con el sistema OAI-PMH

Accessing scientific and academic information has become easier than ever, largely due to the proliferation of academic journals using metadata systems to present their content. Major examples of these systems include the Open Journal Systems (OJS) and the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH), both of which have significantly simplified the online dissemination of research. However, these platforms have become essential for the publication and dissemination of research, giving rise to new needs for editors and academics. A study was conducted on technological innovation, using code generation for primary data production, with the ultimate goal of generating graphs for co-authorship and term co-occurrence networks. This article aims to address the increasing demand for enriched information. We will examine how the OAI-PMH system can generate graphs from academic journal metadata to meet specific needs. Creating graphs from metadata of scientific journals using the OAI-PMH system and Python code offers a robust and flexible approach to academic production analysis. This study proves the applicability of this method to generate keyword co-occurrence and co-authorship networks, providing a deeper and more contextual insight into scientific publications. The relevance of this application reaches both academic journal editors and academics/researchers. This tool helps editors effectively present their journals, evaluate the quality and content of publications, select categories for indexing, and identify emerging trends. Instead, this methodology promotes collaboration among academics, enables more advanced bibliometric analyses, facilitates result presentation, and supports informed decision-making in their research areas

Pendampingan Progam Penyusunan Artikel Ilmiah bagi Siswa MA Unggulan K.H. Abd. Wahab Hasbulloh Bahrul Ulum Tambakberas Jombang melalui Strategi Service-Learning

The writing ability of Indonesian students is generally low. It was marked by the lack of young writers in Indonesia who are able to produce scientific papers. Madrasah Aliyah Featured K.H. Abd. Wahab Hasbulloh (MAUWH) Bahrul Ulum Tambakberas Jombang is one of the boarding school-based formal education institutions that are committed to printing students to have the ability to write scientific articles. With a service-learning approach, community mentoring activities in MAUWH aims to (1) develop a program of writing scientific articles in the assisted community environment; and (2) improving the ability of assisted participants in preparing scientific articles. This community assistance activity is carried out through three stages, namely pre-implementation, implementation and post-implementation. Through the involvement of internal and external stakeholders, this community assistance activity succeeded in developing a scientific article writing program at MAUWH. It was marked by the drafting of the guidebook for writing scientific articles, the publication of the Journal El-Hijaz with the OJS (Open Journal System) System, and the output of scientific research in the form of journal articles.

Pelatihan Publikasi Artikel Ilmiah Melalui Open Journal System (OJS) dan Plagiarism Bagi Komunitas Literasi Guru SMK

Since the Minister of Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform Decree Number 26 of 1989, namely regarding changing teacher positions to functional positions, teachers have been required to develop their careers. This explains that teachers are required to disseminate the results of Classroom Action Research through seminars, publications, or other means so that the research results can be known to the general public. In general, the dissemination of scientific work is carried out online through the Open Journal System system. However, with the increase in information technology, scientific work produced is prone to plagiarism due to the ease of accessing information. Partners are teachers at SMKN 3 Tanjungpinang, Riau Islands Province. Partners have the problem of a lack of knowledge about how to submit articles via the Open Journal System (OJS) system and plagiarism as well as how to check plagiarism in a scientific work. The method used is to provide knowledge about the Open Journal System (OJS) and Anti-Plagiarism systems and training using software or online Anti-Plagiarism checking applications which can be used for free. The results obtained are that partners understand how to use the OJS system, Plagiarism Checker and Turnitin applications, from 25 (twenty five) participants with a 'Very Good' score of 12%, a 'Good' score of 60%, a 'Medium' score of 28% and 'Not Appearing' value is 0%. Other results in the form of teaching materials and articles with draft status to the Community Service Journal will be published in 2024. The conclusion obtained is the increased capacity of partners in using the OJS system and plagiarism check applications.

Much new research, and advances for the IQ

Welcome to this special double issue of IASSIST Quarterly for the year 2023, IQ vol. 47(3-4). 
 We are delighted to close out the year by offering the second special issue of the IASSIST Quarterly to showcase articles from the Africa workshop. Articles in this issue were presented in the second Africa Workshop which was held in Ibadan, Nigeria, in October 2022. Guest editors Winny Nekesa and Robert Burosta have again expertly steered the editorial process to bring us this research. 
 While their Guest Editors’ Notes describe the included articles, we would like to use this space to share a number of announcements about administrative work on the journal. First, please join us in welcoming four new Editorial Board members for a four-year term: 
 Robert Stalone Buwule, Mbarara University of Science and Technology, Uganda
 Winny Nekesa, National Social Security Fund, Uganda
 Deborah Wiltshire, GESIS, Germany, and
 Ryan Womack, Rutgers University, United States
 With these appointments, we achieve two goals. First, we stagger the terms of service of Board members so that only half will roll off the Board at any one time, ensuring continuity of knowledge moving forward. Second, we better diversify geographic representation on the Board to reflect IASSIST’s international membership. Winny and Robert bring experience as IQ guest editors to the Board. Deborah and Ryan bring perspective from the IASSIST Administrative Committee.
 Over the coming year, IQ editorial staff and Board members will be exploring a variety of changes to the journal, many of which were proposed by you, the membership. We’ll keep you informed as we make decisions on various of those suggestions. Several advances that we have already accomplished are to behind-the-scenes processes but may directly benefit authors who publish with us as well you, our readers. 
 Working retrospectively to the last issue, 47(2), as well as for all issues going forward, the editorial staff have published the reference lists of all articles as metadata. This complies with I4OC, a standard that asks for citations to be structured, separable, shareable, and freely accessible (to both human and automated harvesting), resulting in citations that are index-able and searchable. Citation-tracking services like Crossref also require this. The end result is that people searching for any of the sources listed in our articles will find our articles, which over time may result in greater research impact for our authors. Reference linking will also expose articles to new tools, such as OpenAlex, an open citation metrics tool that can help measure impact. We thank our managing editor, Phillip Ndhlovu, for his effort in effecting this change.
 The second change was made by the Library Open Publishing and Open Education staff at the University of Alberta, whose work supports the Open Journal System platform on which the journal is hosted. Their efforts not only keep journal production flowing smoothly, they work continually to improve the technical systems to uphold and improve open access to our content. In this case, they have implemented a Research Organization Registry (ROR) feature to allow authors to select their organizational affiliations from the list of organizations in ROR. This will not only speed the information input authors must complete during submission, but also standardize it to be represented consistently within the journal, and make it clear and accurate for sharing in external systems such as DOAJ and CrossRef.
 Finally, we want to mention a new content feature premiering in this issue. Following the receipt of a Letter to the Editor (to our knowledge the first ever), we’ve added a new section to the journal’s infrastructure to accommodate such conversations. We hope you will enjoy reading this commentary which extends the implications of the Hertzog, et al. article in 47(2) to a different type of personally identifiable data, DNA. We invite you to take advantage of the option to use this feature in future to correspond with our articles. 
 We wish you all the best for whichever end-of-year holidays you celebrate! We look forward to showcasing your work through the IQ in the coming new year, both in the research you submit for publication and in implementing your ideas for evolving the journal’s content and production.
 Ofira Schwartz and Michele Hayslett, December 2023

Management of the Open Journal System Towards Sinta Accreditation in the Perspective Journal of the Palembang Religious Education and Training Center

Open Journal System (OJS) is a widely used platform for managing academic journals. The purpose of this research is to discuss the process of managing OJS towards SINTA accreditation, which is a recognized accreditation system in Indonesia. This research discusses the importance of SINTA accreditation, the OJS management process, and the benefits of accreditation for academic journals. The data collection method was carried out through document review which was carried out by accessing and checking the website address of the Palembang Religious Education and Training Center's perspective journal from 2020 to 2022. The research findings show that the Perspective Journal has published 6 issues, most of the authors come from outside the management agency, most of the partners in the Perspective Journal come from outside the agency and have been indexed by Google Scholar and Scopus, the E-ISSN number of the Perspective Journal has been issued, has been indexed by DOI (Digital Object Identifier), has been indexed by the GARUDA portal and indexed by Google Scholar. It is expected that effective OJS management can contribute significantly to the journal's success in achieving SINTA accreditation.

THE UTILISATION OF THE OPEN JOURNAL SYSTEM (OJS) BY PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATORS

In the process of ensuring the quality of education, teachers are required to carry out publications at certain ranks. However, teachers face various obstacles in the publication process. One of them is the adaptation of the use of technology in submitting articles on the “Open Journal System” page. The Unissula Mathematics Education service team targeted this problem by conducting a Workshop on Management of the Use of the Open Journal System (OJS) for teachers at SMA Negeri 1 Pegandon, Kendal Regency. This activity is carried out in a hybrid way, both challenge and offline. In terms of quality, several teachers at SMAN 1 Pegandon have submitted their articles in the journal http://jurnal.unissula.ac.id/index.php/jpsa.Quantitatively, this activity got the enthusiasm of many teachers. This is proven by the presence of teachers who exceed 80% in socialization activities.

Towards an All-Ireland Diamond Open Access Publishing Platform

This talk will present a progress report on the ‘PublishOA.ie’, project in Ireland (2022-24). The objective of PublishOA.ie is to conduct a feasibility study for an All-Ireland digital publishing platform for Diamond Open Access (OA) journals and books, designed to advance best practice and meet the needs of authors, readers, publishers and funders in Irish scholarly publishing.The project is unique in its mandate to report on the feasibility of a shared platform that will be ‘national’ in scope, but encompass academic publishing across two jurisdictions, which are now, post-Brexit, inside and outside the EU: the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland in the United Kingdom. The project is led by the Royal Irish Academy (RIA) and Trinity College Dublin (TCD) with 16 partners and affiliates from universities and organisations from the island of Ireland. It is supported by the National Open Research Forum of Ireland (NORF). Publishers and authors of books and journals are collaborating with international and national experts to conduct this feasibility study. First, a research exercise to map Irish academic publishing is being carried out for the first time, and a directory of all publishers in Ireland was published in June 2023.The feasibility study will be based on a review of publishing practices in the island of Ireland, with gap analysis on standards, technology, processes, copyright practices and funding models for Diamond OA, international benchmarking and requirements specification leading to the delivery of a pilot national publishing platform. A set of demonstrator journals and monographs will be published using the platform, which will be actively trialled by the partner publishers and authors.PublishOA.ie is guided by the experience and expertise from members of our international advisory group, including TSV (Finland), Openjournals.nl, DOAJ, SDG Academy, JSTOR, cOAlition S and DIAMAS. Consultation with these international organisations and institutions, all of which have demonstrable and significant experience in the field, are assisting us in analysing and discussing potential solutions to deploy, and where relevant, avail of existing developments. These discussions are proving especially valuable in the context of policy compliance (e.g. cOAlition S), technical advice (e.g. TSV’s use of Public Knowledge Project’s Open Journal Systems), and potential OA content provision.Diverse disciplinary perspectives e.g. from Irish Humanities Alliance, TCD Long Room Hub, Moore Institute (Arts and Humanities) at the University of Galway, Irish Open Access Publishers (IOAP) (multiple disciplines including Social Sciences and STEM), Dublin Institute of Advanced Studies (DIAS) (Physics, Irish language) and the RIA (multiple disciplines including STEM) will be integrated with international best practice. This will inform decisions on models and technical infrastructure tested and trialled ensuring their validity in the Irish context as well as their international validity.Bibliodiversity is at the heart of the PublishOA.ie project, as is long-term sustainability. Publishing in Ireland must always have regard to the considerably larger and better resourced publishing trade in the next-door United Kingdom, where Irish authors, writing as they do in English, have historically had strong representation.PublishOA.ie, aims to increase all-island connections and relationships within and between groups and individuals in scholarly publishing. The All-Ireland nature of the project strengthens the Shared Island initiative of the Government of Ireland.PublishOA.ie aims to deliver evidence-based understanding of Irish scholarly publishing and of the requirements of publishers to transition in whole or in part to Diamond OA. It will result in increased knowledge of the needs of publishers and authors in Ireland to move towards Diamond OA publishing. Critically, PublishOA.ie will aim to increase awareness and engagement by policymakers of the system-level risks, challenges and opportunities for a publicly owned, centralised platform for Diamond OA publication of journals and books in Ireland.

Open Journal System: Assistance and training in submitting scientific journals to be well-indexed in Google Scholar

The technical issue with current human resources is that they still require writing instruction. When Google has published and indexed the manuscript, another problem is incorrectly registering the title, author's name, journal name, pages, and other identification information. Modern technology influences the methods and applications of each open journal system (OJS). Understanding how to submit a manuscript to OJS from the outset is important. The service seeks to improve Google Scholar's indexing of scientific journal submissions to OJS by enhancing their comprehension. The method for implementing the service comprises three stages: preparation, implementation, and evaluation. Based on the activity results, it is evident that participants are enthusiastic and motivated to participate in the training because the knowledge garnered from this training will assist them in completing assignments to publish journals, works, final reports, dissertations, and PKM.
