Ministry of Education and Culture issued a new policy related to student graduation requirement S1, S2, and S3. The new requirement is the need to write a paper that was published in scientific journals.
The new policy is "terrible" is contained in a circular Kemendikbud Directorate General of Higher Education, addressed to all public and private universities in the country. This requirement will be effective even this year, which began after the August 2012 graduation.
Director General of Higher Education Kemendikbud, Djoko Santoso, in a letter expressing the reasons enactment of circular policies that:
"As we know at the present time, the number of scientific papers of Higher Education Indonesia in total is still low when compared to Malaysia, only about one-seventh. It is our common challenge to improve it. Relation to that as of August 2012 after diberlukan graduation requirements as the following:
For undergraduate programs must be produced papers published in scientific journals.
For the Masters program must have produced a paper published in accredited scientific journals of Higher Education.
For the Doctoral program must have produced a paper published in international journals. "
Education and Culture Minister Muhammad Nuh said it is now socialize the new policy. Noah insisted the new policy should be run. "The purpose of the policy was to foster an academic culture. S1 is a four-year college, you know. Cook could not write it? "Said Nuh in the Office of the Vice President, Jakarta, Tuesday, February 14, 2012.
Nuh emphasized the obligation of scientific publications as a condition of graduation S1 are necessary to trigger an increase in academic quality. "Just imagine if he wrote but not quality. He's a scholar, not high school graduates, "said Nuh.
For colleges that do not feel able to realize the policy, Noah asked them to submit requests for assistance to the ministry.
Do not force
Commission member in charge of the House education, Rohmani, assess new policies issued Kemendikbud it has a good purpose. But he stressed that the policy is not necessarily enforced.
Rohmani quality reminds one college to another is not the same. "If you want to get maximum results and optimal, while the lack of good quality education, how it plays out?" He questioned.
Therefore, Rohmani requested that the policy was carried out in stages. He also argues that the policy requirements of scientific publications can not be enforced in the near future. According to him, many universities, both public and private, that has not been all ready to implement it.
Unpreparedness, said Rohmani, is that higher education in Indonesia are generally still emphasizes the value of grade point average (GPA), but ignorant of the actual competence. So if governments are serious about implementing the policy of scientific publications, Rohmani requesting admission method that emphasizes the value alone, overhauled.
If the policy enforced scientific publications in the near future, will adversely affect Rohmani worry. "Many students who are unable to research competence, not good at writing, so this will be a heavy burden for them," he said. "As a result, many students will be a long lecture. Bureau of writing scientific papers will be mushrooming. Finally, student writing is not original anymore. "
Be careful of plagiarism
Vice Rector for Research and Community Education University of Gadjah Mada, Dr. Retno S. Sudibyo, argues the terms of scientific publications is a good policy. But he asked the government for setting up the infrastructure to support the policy, before applying the concrete.
UGM also asked the government to implement the policy in stages. Retno said bluntly, if Kemendikbud enforce these policies are implemented in the near or per August 2012, the UGM is not ready.
"We're just worried about plagiarism will bloom from this policy," he said when contacted VIVAnews Retno. "Like the case of doctors in London who plucks posts from here and there to be assembled into scientific work."
He asserted to his own rules so that papers have been published in scientific journals have the proper protection of intellectual rights. "Sometimes the same headline but different contents. It should be no rules to avoid plagiarism one another, "said Retno.
UGM-sighted terms of scientific publications in 2012 not yet implemented this because a lot of special preparation to be done. "Think also if an article is published in scientific journals, and then how to take care of intellectual property rights," said Retno.
He warned the cost of raising the intellectual rights in Indonesia is very high. Not to mention the management is a long process and can not fast. "So who will have to pay for it? Will it be charged to all students? "Said Retno.
UGM also asked the government to consider the quantity of Indonesian students are very large. State universities in Indonesia now consists of the 80's, while private colleges even more - about 2,600.
"So it should be how to load the work of students in all colleges tingggi it into a scientific journal? How many titles to be published? What about protecting the data in scientific journals that are not copied? "Retno asked insistently.
In the end, UGM reiterated his attitude: the government must provide the infrastructure to support the policy in advance of scientific publications. "If overseas may be ready, but not in Indonesia," Retno confirmed.
