Supporting Merdeka Belajar Curriculum: An Analysis of Open Educational Resources Policy and Academic Libraries’ Contribution

2024-12-02T04:52:06+00:00

In 2023, the Indonesian government launched the Merdeka Belajar (Freedom of Learning) curriculum to enhance the quality of education in the country. College libraries, as integral components of Indonesia's educational system, were called upon to support this initiative, particularly through the use of Open Educational Resources (OER). However, the development and implementation of OER encountered several challenges, including legal barriers. This study aimed to analyze the legal framework surrounding OER, with a particular focus on the Indonesian context. A mixed-methods approach was employed, involving the analysis of legal documents, policies, and relevant literature. The legal documents examined primarily included regulations pertaining to higher education, copyright laws, and licenses. The study found that the lack of specific regulation regarding OER in Indonesia created challenges in defining the applicable legal framework. Although OER practices align with copyright law, the absence of explicit regulation on open licenses places the legal basis on license agreements between creators or copyright holders and OER users. If the license agreement is valid, it becomes enforceable under the pacta sunt servanda principle. However, the study highlighted the need for comprehensive regulations to provide legal security and clarity for creators, copyright holders, and users of OER. It was recommended that the government issue more explicit legal regulations to support the creation, distribution, and use of OER, thereby providing a solid legal foundation for stakeholders, including lecturers, universities, and libraries.

It also highlights the value of selecting appropriate respondent groups in evaluating system performance, contributing to better-informed decisions in the development and optimization of library technologies.

A Comparative Analysis of Citation Counts in Sinta, Dimensions, and Scopus: A Study of Journals in Islamic Economics, Finance, and Business

2024-11-24T21:20:14+00:00

This study compared the citation counts of journals in economics, finance, and Islamic business (JEFIB) indexed in three prominent databases: Sinta, Dimensions, and Scopus. JEFIB is indexed in Sinta, with citation data also available from the Dimensions and Scopus databases. A total of five journals were selected from each Sinta category, with the highest citation count from each database—Sinta, Dimensions, and Scopus—being recorded. The citation data were then tabulated for each journal group based on the highest counts from these three databases. The findings reveal that citation counts in Sinta do not always align with those in Dimensions and Scopus, primarily due to differences in the data sources used for citation tracking. Sinta relies on data from Google Scholar, encompassing a broader range of publications, while Dimensions tracks citations from journals indexed by Crossref. Scopus citations, on the other hand, depend on the total number of citations of journal articles included in the Scopus database. Furthermore, the citation counts are influenced by factors such as the number of journal volumes, the total number of published documents, and the accreditation level of the journal. This study underscores the importance of considering citation data from multiple platforms—Sinta, Dimensions, and Scopus—when evaluating the impact of journals within the global academic community.
