Journal team from the Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB) UIN Jakarta and the journal team from FEB University of Udayana (UNUD) Bali are ready to work together to accelerate the quality improvement of the journals published by each institution. The commitment of collaboration is achieved in a comparative study of FEB UIN Jakarta to FEB University of Udayana concerning the journal publishing,  Bali, Thursday-Saturday, (10/27-29).

Editor in chief for Jurnal Signifikan UIN Jakarta M. Nur Rianto Al Arief, explained that the comparative study filled with discussions and information exchange about journal management. Furthermore, we were agreed to work together to do the training and journal articles exchange. These exchanges are expected to meet the standards of the articles composition in every new issue of the journal.

“We wanted to work together with FEB University of Udayana journal team, not only accredited journals but also other journals which are managed by FEB University of Udayana, including in fulfilling the needs of the article script,” said Arief.

He also added, this comparative study is also intended to make the journals in both faculties that have not been accredited may soon get an accredited status. To be known, FEB UIN Jakarta has Jurnal Signifikan: Jurnal Ilmu Ekonomi with the grade ‘B’ accredited status. While FEB University of Udayana has Jurnal Matrik: Jurnal Manajemen, Strategi Bisnis dan Kewirausahaan with the grade ‘B’ accredited status and Jurnal Ekonomi Kuantitatif Terapan which is also obtained grade ‘B’ accredited status.

“This is the basis of academic consideration of synergies that can be beneficial to both institutions.” He added.

Other than Jurnal Signifikan, FEB UIN Jakarta also has several other journals, namely Jurnal Etikonomi: Jurnal Ekonomi dan Bisnis, Jurnal Esensi: Jurnal Manajemen dan Bisnis and Jurnal Akuntabilitas: Jurnal Ilmu Akuntansi, while FEB University of Udayana has Jurnal Matrik, JIAB, BSE, and Ekonomi Kuantitatif Terapan.
