including Widyaiswara, who come from the results
of research or critical thinking or deep reflection.
Publications can be carried out in various forms such
as seminars, publications, journals and other types
that allow these results to be known to the public to
be useful and contribute to the development of
science. The types of publications that can be
accepted as contributions to the field of science vary
greatly. At present it is undergoing very rapid
changes, arising from the transition from the print
publishing format to the electronic format, which
has a different model from the previous pattern.
Current general trend, access to electronically
scientific journals is provided openly. This means
that more scientific publications can be accessed for
free through the internet, both those provided by the
journal publishers, and those provided by the authors
of the journal articles themselves.
Publication of scientific work is an important
agenda for academics and functional positions,
besides being a prerequisite for office, it is also
expected that this will be done for the future of the
Indonesian nation to be more advanced, because
scientific publications are also an indicator of the
nation's progress and competitiveness. If the results
of research, studies and scientific works are only
stored in the library, only limited circles are
interested in reading them. Especially with a thick
page, so people will be lazy to read it. Therefore,
scientific publications that will make the results of
the study useful. The benefits of publishing
scientific papers include 1). Become a reference for
further research; 2). contribute to solving a problem
that does not yet have a solution; 3). With scientific
publications, the originator will be known to the
public and can build a network that is quite
extensive and obtain copyright; 4). With so many
publications, it can add to and enrich our knowledge;
5). Fulfillment of credit number requirements for
positions that need it, especially for functional
positions (Jurnal Prodikasi, 2016).
The process of scientific publications for each
type of publication needs different requirements.

and classification of journals. Each journal has its
own rules and conditions. For Widyaiswara, in
