“Welcome to UMY Postgraduate. As we aspire to be excellent and Islamic, for our master’s program, especially for practitioners, we guide them to become researchers who can publish in reputable journals. At a minimum, two Scopus publications or one dissertation, or alternatively, to avoid too many pages for the dissertation, it is sufficient with three publications, at least SINTA 2. By prioritizing SINTA 2, we demonstrate our Indonesian identity so that we don’t continue to contribute only to foreign journals,” said Ika Nurul Qamari.
This inaugural lecture was held offline and was attended by 134 new postgraduate students. It was part of the campus introduction and a gathering for all students of the study programs at the Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta Postgraduate Program.
