Press Release: Implementation of the Webinar Series by the Department of Management, FEB UPN 'Veteran' Yogyakarta 2024

At the end of 2024, the Department of Management organized two webinar events for undergraduate and graduate students of the Management Department. The first webinar was held on Saturday, October 26, 2024, featuring an educational session on the UPN Veteran Yogyakarta Library's e-resource services, presented by Mr. Prayudi, PhD, the head of the UPT Library. The session also covered strategies for publishing scientific articles in reputable journals, delivered by Prof. Doddy Setiawan, PhD, a lecturer from UNS Surakarta who has published 105 articles indexed in Scopus, many of which stem from his students' final theses, theses, and dissertations. The Chairperson of the Management Department (Dr. Titik Kusmantini) explained that the importance of this educational activity was to support the implementation of the Rector's Regulation No. 8 of 2022 regarding guidelines for final projects and publication pathways. To accelerate study periods for undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral students, a publication route can substitute for final theses/theses/dissertations. Additionally, the Chairperson emphasized that the publication route not only accelerates the study period but that the publications must meet university standards. For master's students, the publication must be in a reputable international journal (indexed in Scopus or WoS), or in a national journal indexed in Sinta 1 or Sinta 2, or international proceedings. Meanwhile, undergraduate students must publish at least in a national journal indexed in Sinta 3 or 4. The Coordinator of the Bachelor's Program (Dr. Widhy Tri Astuti, SE, MSi) believes that the socialization of the Rector’s Regulation will effectively support its implementation, and the department will offer undergraduate students the option of the publication route as an alternative to their final project starting in their 5th semester. According to the Coordinator of the Master's Program (Dr. Khoirul Hikmah, SE, MSi), students can register for the publication route starting from their first semester, and the department will validate the suitability of the supervisory competencies and prerequisites for the faculty. Supervisors for the publication route must have at least one article published in Sinta 1 or Sinta 2 or indexed in Scopus as the first author.
