The Pertanika Editorial Office, Publication Division of the Research Management Centre (RMC) is pleased to make the following announcement.
Articles published in Pertanika’s three journals (JTAS, JST, JSSH) will now be treated as equivalent to articles published in an ISI journal and will therefore be considered in assessing the performance of academic staff as a Key Performance Indicator (KPI) in view of career advancement.
This decision was made in mid October by the University Management Committee, UPM.
Pertanika caters for scientists, professors, researchers, post-docs, scholars and students who wish to promote and communicate advances in the fields of Agriculture; all areas of Science & Technology; and Social Sciences & Humanities research through its three titles; JTAS, JST & JSSH are encouraged to submit article to Pertanika Journals.
All three Pertanika titles are accepted and published in English and are open to authors around the world regardless of the nationality. Each title is currently published two times a year; JST is published in January and July while JTAS in February and August, and JSSH in March and September. All three titles are indexed in EBSCO. JTAS and JSSH are also indexed in SCOPUS (Elsevier). In addition, JTAS is also indexed in AGRICOLA and CABI.
