The Research, Technology and Higher Education Ministry is pushing Indonesian researchers to publish more accredited journals, targeting 7,000 journal titles in the next two years.

According to ministry data,  the current number of accredited journals stands at 1,200, with 37 of them having been accredited internationally.

The ministry’s research enhancement and development director general, M. Dimyati, said recently in Semarang that the growth of journal titles had improved after the government merged two accreditation institutions—the ministry and the Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI).

“After the merging, we’ve seen more new scientific, accredited journals every year,” he said during the discussion on a ministerial regulation on accreditation.

The government is pushing for more accreditors and assessors, Dimyati said.

However, universities say creating new journals is not easy. “Journal making is voluntary and the creators are sometimes not professionals,” said Delik Hudayah, an officer at the journal management unit of the Bandung Institute of Technology. “Journals also depend on individuals, they are not a product of a system. When the person dies, the journal dies too.”

Editor’s note: An earlier version of this article misstated that the ministry wanted institutions to publish 7,000 new journals in two years. This figure is in fact the target the ministry seeks to reach. As there are some 1,200 journals currently, this means the ministry is seeking the creation of roughly 5,800 new journals.

说实话，一开头我选择不信的。后来看到这个Note，不得不仔细琢磨一下了。

问了问负责印尼业务的同事，还有其他朋友，目前可以确认，此消息可靠。

当然，印尼政府能否最终推动成功就不一定了。不过，哪怕是一半，也是一个不小的数字。另，文章已经提到了国际化期刊，相信其中必然会有一些新的英文期刊。虽然印尼的官方语言是印尼语，但英语的普及率应该不比中国大陆差。据在印尼生活过的朋友说，有点地方，大城市和旅游区，英语普及率很高的。

中国呢？没有听说中国的新的创办大批量期刊的计划。最近的关于2017年的数据，中国大陆新批准CN号61种，详见任胜利老师的博文链接：2017年度新批准CN号期刊一览表，这其中还有一些是非学术的。

当然，大家可以说中国期刊数量已经很多啦！是的，不少。任老师的另一博文显示：截至2016年底，我国科技期刊数量为5020种，出版地位于北京地区的期刊数量为1586种，占总数的31.59%；出版周期以双月刊和月刊为主，其中双月刊1953种，占总数的38.90%，月刊1805种，占总数的35.96%；出版语种以汉文占绝对多数，有4631种，占总数的92.25%；英文刊较少，有302种，占总数的6.02%；基础科学类（Science）期刊有1549种，占总数的30.85%，技术科学类（Technology）期刊有2286种，占总数的45.53%，医药卫生类（Medicine）期刊有1185种，占总数的23.61%。博文链接：《中国科技期刊发展蓝皮书(2017)》概要。再加上社会科学的，应该有七八千种吧。但问题是：这其中英文的太少啦！自科社科加起来，应该350种不到！这一定意义上，是中国在70多个SCI学科一本SCI期刊都没有的主要原因！

借此机会，再次呼吁，中国创办更多的英文期刊，现在的数字，翻一番700，再翻一番1400，也未尝不可。

已经有数据表明，中国的英文期刊，绝对数量相对数量，都远低于我们周边的日本！

不希望两年后，有数据表明，中国的英文期刊，绝对数量相对数量，都远低于我们周边的印尼!!!
