Apart from that, based on the official SINTA website of the Ministry of Education and Culture, ULM achieved 300,355 points (SINTA score 3yr) and 705,156 points (SINTA Score Overall).
This award is given as a form of appreciation for lecturers who have succeeded in improving their scientific publication performance. Through this award, the Rector also seeks to provide encouragement to ULM lecturers in improving their scientific publications. The active role of lecturers in conducting research and writing scientific publications has had a positive impact on improving the quality of ULM at the national level.
SINTA is the official platform of the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture which can provide access to data related to research publications in Indonesia. The web-based research information system offers fast, easy and complete access to measure the performance of researchers (authors), institutions (affiliates) and journals in Indonesia.
Making SINTA involves external systems that are integrated with each other, including publications using the Scopus, WoS, Google Scholar, and Digital Reference Garba (Garuda) databases, Research and Community Service using the Bima database, journal accreditation data using the Arjuna database, Intellectual Property data based on the Directorate General of Intellectual Property (DJKI), as well as book data based on data from the National Library.
Apart from the number of articles, the number of citations (citations) also influences the assessment. The more publications, research, community service, IPR and books achieved, the higher the lecturers’ SINTA ranking will be at their respective institutions.
It is hoped that this achievement will continue to increase in line with the development of innovative research that encourages downstreaming to answer community needs. The research-based innovation carried out by ULM is more than scientific development, but is a real contribution to solving community problems and the national agenda.
