Since its inaugural publication in Volume 1, Number 1, April 2020, JISDeP has consistently published eight articles in each issue. Following its accreditation as a SINTA 2 journal through Decree No. 10/C/C3/DT.05.00/2025 dated March 21, 2025, the number of submissions has steadily increased in line with the journal’s growing reputation. To accommodate this rising interest from scholars and to avoid publication backlogs, JISDeP has revised its editorial policy by increasing the number of articles published per issue to 15 manuscripts starting with Volume 6, Number 1, April 2025.

This adjustment reflects JISDeP’s commitment to strengthening its role in advancing the dissemination of scholarly knowledge, expanding citation opportunities, and enhancing the journal’s competitiveness at both national and international levels. The increase in the number of published articles is therefore not merely a quantitative measure, but a strategic effort to ensure quality, maximize academic impact, and safeguard the long-term sustainability of the journal in alignment with national research and publication priorities.
