Dear Igdoreans, I wonder if anyone is interested in getting this issue published either as media articles or academic papers. Surya A. A few years ago, I blew the whistle on Indonesian academic publication manipulation at the national level. Some published news: > **[Indonesian performance-related funding system ‘open to abuse’](https://www.timeshighereducation.com/news/indonesian-performance-related-funding-system-open-abuse)** > > Academics claim that loopholes in government index of top scholars raise questions over allocation of public money [https://cen.acs.org/policy/publishing/Indonesias-scientists-voice-concerns-countrys/96/web/2018/12](https://cen.acs.org/policy/publishing/Indonesias-scientists-voice-concerns-countrys/96/web/2018/12) This time, I am saddened to say the manipulation has become worse, perhaps reaching the international level, and impacting the national academic career advancement system. I have compiled a provisionary table recording the manipulation, which could be found below. I have also taken screenshots of all the links found in the table. [link redacted - to be provided upon request] From this download link, you could also find records of Telegram “paper-mill” groups for Indonesian academics to pay to become authors. [link redacted - to be provided upon request] B. even the head of indonesia’s people consultative assembly had to publish a paper in a ‘fraudulent’ scopus-indexed journal to get his doctoral degree. 1. translated news > **[Riset Ilmiah Kandidat Doktor Bamsoet di Jurnal Internasional Scopus](https://nasional-tempo-co.translate.goog/read/1629449/riset-ilmiah-kandidat-doktor-bamsoet-di-jurnal-internasional-scopus?_x_tr_sl=id&_x_tr_tl=en)** > > Diterbitkan oleh CA and CC Press AB, dari Swedia. 1. link to abstract and paper. you could assess the quality of language, substance, and reference. the journal title also has no relation to article title.

It is based on the staples that state policy need to be considered due to the weaknesses of the National Medium Term Development Plan (RPJM), such as unrepresentative forming and implementing actors not relating to the nature of implementing people’s sovereignty. With the amendment to the formulation of Article 1 paragraph (2) in the Constitution of Indonesia, the mechanism for community control over the RPJPN or RPJMN implementation is ineffective. Therefore, a legal instrument is needed in the form of the main principles as a legal umbrella that refers to the re-establishment of the Broad Outline of State Policy (GBHN) and as a supervision indicator of the government’s commitments the President and Vice President as executive institutions. 1. as soon as the author got his degree, the journal was excluded from scopus.

dear igdoreans and all, peace be with us, good morning from kuala lumpur, by now you might have seen, as attached, that indonesia’s premier print media have reported on their very front pages for two days straight about the data i shared with you previously. perhaps this could reignite your interest on the issue, especially since kompas only focused on the “individual”, not “international”, much more structural and systemic aspects, of the problem. wishing you a refreshing weekend. 🙂surya ![IMG-20230211-WA0002](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/igdore1/original/1X/87367f77147acbc6ab9e21186c848d93170436a5.jpeg) ![IMG-20230210-WA0000](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/igdore1/original/1X/ea8e9a14dc3bf32ad0ed1d53dabc7116526b8337.jpeg)
