Journal Publishing
In addition to books, UPA Publishing and Publication also facilitates the publication of journals in STPN. Journal publishing at STPN itself has a long history. The first pioneering scientific periodical published by STPN was Widya Bhumi. Widya Bhumi was the first embryo of a scientific periodical at STPN which has been published since 2002. In addition to the Widya Bhumi Scientific Magazine, Jurnal Bhumi is the next periodical that is published twice a year, along with other STPN journals that follow.
The latest generation of journal publishing at STPN is journal management using an open system (Open Journal System) which was initiated since the publication of Jurnal Bhumi Volume 1 Number 1 of 2015. Through this publication, Jurnal Bhumi has been following the standardized journal management. Jurnal Bhumi then applied for accreditation through the Arjuna system (National Journal Accreditation) by the Ministry of Research, Technology, and Higher Education on September 2, 2018. Jurnal Bhumi was declared accredited with the rank of Sinta 3 since the publication of Volume 2 Number 2 of 2016 through the Decree of the Director General of Research Strengthening and Development of the Ministry of Research, Technology, and Higher Education of the Republic of Indonesia Number 30/E/KPT/2018. Two years later, in 2020, Jurnal Bhumi applied for reaccreditation, and through the Decree of the Minister of Research and Technology through the Head of the National Research and Innovation Agency Number 200/M/KPT/2020 on December 23, 2020, Bhumi: Jurnal Agraria dan Pertanahan was promoted to Sinta 2 for the publication of Volume 1 Number 1 of 2020 to Volume 10 Number 2 of 2024. This accreditation rating upgrade is a matter of pride for STPN.
In an effort to continue to encourage the improvement of scientific writing at STPN and widely disseminate agrarian literacy, UPA Publishing and Publication also initiated two new journals at STPN, namely Marcapada: Jurnal Kebijakan Pertanahan and Widya Bhumi. These two journals are managed by the Online Journal System. Widya Bhumi is one of the journals that is expected to be able to resume the Widya Bhumi Scientific Magazine, which had stopped publishing. The new journals at STPN are also prepared to be a place to learn journal publishing management. Regeneration of journal management is very important to maintain the sustainability of every journal issue at STPN in the future.
