“Congratulations and success to the CERiMRE journal of the Physics Department for achieving SINTA 3 accreditation from the Direktur Jenderal Riset dan Pengembangan Kemendiktisaintek which was announced some time ago,” said the Dean of FMIPA Prof. Drs. Dafik, M.Sc., Ph.D. Computational and Experimental Research in Materials and Renewable Energy (CERiMRE) is a journal from KeRiS (Research Group) KMTE (Applied Materials and Energy Computation of the Physics Department of FMIPA which was previously accredited SINTA 4 and has also achieved DOAJ international indexation. “The CERiMRE journal will be a reference for three journals in FMIPA that are applying for new accreditation, hopefully the InSTEM Journal, ICL Journal, and LSB Journal can follow CERiMRE in achieving SINTA accreditation,” he continued.

CERiMRE Journal has been publishing its articles since 2018 using English and authors from several countries. Authors from the African continent such as Congo, Nigeria, and Ghana. Countries from Asia also participate such as India, China, Japan, Iran and of course Indonesia. CERiMRE, led by Dr. Dr. Artoto Arkundato, S.Si., M.Si. as Editor-in-chief, has prepared the SINTA re-accreditation process by refining the requirements from ARJUNA. Improving the quality of article substance is the main focus in the improvement. Bringing in experts from internationally accredited journal managers as companions is also one way to increase the SINTA accreditation of the CERiMRE journal.

“We registered for CERiMRE re-accreditation at ARJUNA in August 2024, it was quite a long wait, almost a year, to finally achieve SINTA 3, although our hope was SINTA 2 according to the form that was filled in,” explained Artoto. The journal, which is published in May and November every year, hopes to continue to get quality articles from writers from within the country and abroad. “With SINTA 3 and DOAJ, CERiMRE can attract the interest of domestic and foreign writers to submit, and in the future it can achieve SINTA 2 and even achieve SCOPUS because CERiMRE has been set as an international journal from the start,” he concluded.
