Abstract: A professor is an expert who occupies a privileged position in a higher education institution. His expertise

in a field of study is often an inspiration for young lecturers and students to conduct research and to write

scientific articles. Usually, professors are often associated with scientific activities such as research and

writing scientific papers, in addition to their obligations, namely teaching and community service. However,

the facts of the ground do not always support the idea. This study presents a descriptive-analytical study on

the background of the decline in the professors’ enthusiasms in research and article writing activities in

international scientific journals at UIN SyarifHidayatullah Jakarta. The aim of this study is to find out the

reason why professors are not too interested in scientific activities. In fact, the scientific activities, such as

research, writing books and articles in international scientific journals, are one of the obligations that must

be fulfilled. To obtain the data, the authors carried out a number of research steps including tracing oral and

document sources, verification of sources, data analysis and then writing research results as the final step.

The data was collected by using purposive sampling method with interviewing several professors

representing faculties at UIN Jakarta. The results of this study showed a decrease in research activity and

the quality of scientific publications of UIN Jakarta professors due to the following factors: (1) professors

play a role as structural officials concurrently so that there is no time to conduct any research, (2) age and

health factors that affect the productivity of professors, (3) supporting facilities in each faculty are not

evenly distributed for research purposes, (4) mastery of foreign languages is not optimal.

1 INTRODUCTION

In a university, there are generally main

professions in it, namely: lecturers, students, and

employees. Lecturers are an important element as

science developers. In accordance with the Tridarma

of Higher Education, lecturers (also students) have

self-development opportunities in teaching, research,

and community service. Lecturers have a greater

chance than students in realizing tasks in all those

three activities.

By conducting research, lecturers have an

opportunity to improve their scientific careers. The

culmination of this achievement is when the lecturer

holds the status of a professor. Referring to Law No.

14/2015 concerning Teachers and Lecturers, it

explains that professor is the highest functional

position for lecturers who teach in a higher

education unit (article 1 (3)), or in another

explanation it is stated that professor is the highest

academic position in a higher education unit which

has an authority to guide doctoral candidates (article

49).

Lecturers who get the title of professor must

meet a number of requirements. Based on

Permendikbud No. 92/2014 article 10, it explains

that the main requirement to become a professor

includes holding doctoral academic qualification

(S3) and having scientific works published in

reputable international scientific journals as the first

author. The publication of scientific papers in

international scientific journals is considered as one

of important indicators in the requirements of

professors. This is considered to be one of the

highest achievements for a scientist because it is a

proof of the recognition from international scientific

community. Besides being a requirement, this

journal publication is also one of the activities that

must be carried out by a professor later on.

The objective of this study is to find out the

dynamics of research activities and the quality of

scientific publications among professors of UIN

SyarifHidayatullah Jakarta. The authors assumed

that there is a decreasing interest in research among

professors along with the decline in the quality of

publication (to publish scientific works), both in the

form of books and reputable international journals.

For professors, research activities and publishing

scientific papers are parts of improving quality,

competence, professionalism, and one of the

indicators of their performance.

1.1 Literature Framework

Professor is an important part of the scientific

community in universities. Their opinions are often

heard, cited, developed into deeper synthesis, or

even spark a long scientific discussion. Commonly,

the presence of a professor is awaited as the most

authoritative figure discussing a topic of knowledge.

However, recently a professor is also required to

perpetuate their ideas in books or be published in

reputable scientific journals.

Professor is a senior lecturer who has a

permanent lecturer status. Referring to Law No.

14/2015 concerning Teachers and Lecturers (article

48), it is stated that the position of a permanent

lecturer starts from a low to high level, namely;

expert assistant, lecturer, chief of lecturers and

professor. Regarding the position of lecturers, there

is also a term known as academic positions.

According to Permendikbud No. 92/2004

concerning Technical Guidance for Research on

Credit Figures Article 1 (6), an academic position of

a lecturer is a position that refers to the duties,

responsibilities, authorities and rights of a lecturer in

a higher education unit in which its implementation

is based on certain expertise and is independent.

In addition to having an obligation as a lecturer,

a professor has some specific obligations. In Law

No. 14/2015 Article 49 (2), it is stated that the

specific obligation of professors is to write books

and scientific works, and to disseminate their ideas

to enlighten society. Correspondingly this duty is

explained in Permendikbud No. 78/2003 concerning

the Reporting of Professional Allowances and

Honorary Allowances for lecturers occupying

Professor Academic Position. In article 4 (1) of this

regulation, it is stated that the specific obligations of

professors are: (1) to write books published by

national and international publishers which have

ISBNs (International Standard of Book Numbering

System); (2) to produce scientific works published in

reputable international journals, and; (3) to

disseminate ideas.

The specific duty above leads to the productivity

of a professor in creating scientific works that can be

published in reputable international journals. This

scientific activity is useful in promoting a professor

to reach the highest level of professor known as

plenary professors. According to Law No. 14/2015

Article 49 (3), it explains that professors who have

scientific works or other monumental and special

works in their fields, and obtain international

recognition, can be appointed as plenary professors.

In other words, a lecturer who has occupied the

position of professor can still continue his

intellectual career until the plenary professor. This

level can be obtained from the scientific

productivity.

A series of scientific activities undertaken by a

professor has been appreciated by the Government

with a number of facilities. Referring to Law No.

14/2015, in addition to getting professional

allowances as a lecturer, a professor receives

honorarium. This kind of allowance is the provision

of an additional fee twice as much as the professor's

basic salary as stipulated by the government (article

56). The provision of this honorarium has proven the

government's attention to the profession of

professor. Besides, this is the government

appreciation of the specific obligations fulfilled by

professors.

Another benefit of being a professor is the

extension of retirement age of civil servants up to

the age of 70 years, for professors who excel (article

67). By the extension of this service period,

professors are expected to continue practicing the

Tridarma of Higher Education and increase their

scientific productivity for universities in particular,

and community in general. The honorarium and the

extension of professors retirement age are also

explained completely in Permendikbud No. 78/2003

on the Reporting of Professional Allowances and

Honorary Allowances for Lecturers occupying

Professor Academic Position.

The main work of professors is writing and

publishing scientific papers. Based on

Permendikbud No. 78/2003, it is stated that the

specific obligations of professors include writing

books published with ISBNs and producing

scientific works published in reputable international

journals. The word reputation here refers to a

number of journals indexed by international journal

index institutions such as Scopus, Thompson-

Reuters, Atlantis and others. Both, writing books

ICRI 2018 - International Conference Recent Innovation

1430

and publishing scientific papers in journals, are the

forms of scientific works of a professor.

Citing Permendikbud No. 92/2014 concerning

Technical Guidelines for the Implementation of

Research Credit Score article 1 (9), it is stated that

scientific writing is the writing of the basic thoughts,

development and results of studies / research

compiled by lecturers, either individuals or groups,

which discusses a scientific topic in the field of

education, research and community service by

expressing certain ideas through identification,

literature review, methodology, synthesis,

description, analysis, evaluation, conclusions and

suggestions for solutions. In this definition there is

an affirmation that a scientific work is not only in

the research field, but also includes the field of

education and community service which is

processed into a scientific writing.

Professors’ productivity is related to their quality

as a figure who is considered to be the most expert

in a scientific field. In this case, quality is an

interesting topic to study. The study of quality

development relies on a number of key words such

as quality, competence, professional and

performance. Sallis explained that the meaning of

quality occupies an absolute and relative concept. As

something absolute, quality can be paired with a

good, beautiful and trustworthy environment, or

something that is ideal with nothing comparable. In

a relative definition, especially in quality

management, quality is not interpreted as a product

or service, but something related to the measurement

of specialization or suitability with the customer's

preferences. Quality is not something that is

expensive or exclusive, and can be considered good

if a satisfaction is judged by the user's standards.

Quality can be understood as the best satisfaction

and in accordance with the customer needs.

The development of lecturer quality includes

several competencies. In general, the definition of

competence, based on Law No. 14/2015 on Teachers

and Lecturers in article 1 (10), is a set of knowledge,

skills and behaviours that must be possessed, lived

and mastered by the teacher or lecturer in carrying

out professional tasks. Article 69 states that

coaching and professional development of lecturers

include pedagogic competence, personal

competence, social competence and professional

competence. These competencies are explained in

the Explanation of Law No. 14/2015 article 10 (1),

as follows:

1) Pedagogic competence is the ability to

manage students’ learning

2) Personality competence is a personal ability

that is strong, noble, wise and authoritative as well

as being a role model for students

3) Professional competence is the ability to

master the subject matter in depth

4) Social competence is the ability of the teacher

/ lecturer to communicate and interact effectively

and efficiently with students, fellow teachers,

parents / guardians of students and the surrounding

community.

Particularly, according to Minister of Education

and Culture Regulation No. 92/2014 article 1 (12),

competence is the ability required for lecturers to be

able to carry out activities in the field of education,

research and community service in relation to the

aspects of knowledge, skills and / or expertise, as

well as certain work attitudes relevant to the duties

and terms of the office. In this paper, the focus of

competence is the emphasis on specific obligations

for professors in research or productivity in writing

scientific papers based on research and its paper

publication.

The implementation and achievement of

competencies are related to professionalism.

According to Law No. 14/2015 on Teachers and

Lecturers article 1 (4), professionalism is defined as

a work or activity that is carried out by a person and

becomes a source of life income which requires

expertise, skills and talents that meet certain quality

standards or norms and require professional

education. Article 7 explains the Principles of

Professionalism of Lecturers, namely: The

profession of teachers and lecturers is a special field

of work carried out based on the following

principles:

1) Having talent, interest, desire and idealism

2) Having a commitment to improve the

quality of education, faith, piety and noble

character

3) Having an academic qualification and

educational background in accordance with

the task area

4) Having the required competencies in

accordance with the task area

Having the responsibilities for the

implementation of professional duties

6) Earning income determined by work

performance

7) Having the opportunity to develop

professionalism on an ongoing basis with

lifelong learning

8) Having a guarantee of legal protection in

carrying out professional duties

(UIN) Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta

1431

9) Having a professional organization which

has an authority to regulate matters related

to the task of teacher professionalism.

Professionalism is closely related to

performance. Mangkunegara defines performance as

the work result in the quality and quantity achieved

by an employee in carrying out their duties in

accordance with the responsibilities assigned to him.

M. Hasibuan stated that performance is a work result

obtained by a person after completing the tasks

assigned to him based on skills, experience, sincerity

and time of work. Meanwhile, As'ad tends to view

performance as a result achieved by a person

according to the applied standards. In other words,

performance is interpreted as the result of one's

efforts achieved by abilities and actions in certain

situations. Whereas performance appraisal is defined

as the process of evaluating or the evaluation of

performance carried out by an organization for the

performance of its employees.

Lecturers in universities have a strategic role in

education. They are professionals who make a lot of

contributions in the development of educational

quality such as the quality of lecturers, students and

higher education institutions, according to their main

duties, competencies and functions. The

development of education quality can be achieved

by targeting the lecturer quality. Miller said that in

education, it has the man behind the system which

means a decisive human position in the power of

education. Thus, education is a service industry that

acts as a front line provider and determines the

quality of service delivery systems. In this context,

the position of lecturers is at the forefront in

determining the quality of service. The success of a

university that is innovative, quality and responsive

to local challenges and global developments lies in

the work of development and improvement. The

main agents of this work are college lecturers.

Theoretically, many factors can influence the

role of lecturers. Sopiah mentioned that the factors

that influence individual behaviour are effort, ability

and environment. Muchlas explained that adult

behaviour and personality are influenced by

hereditary and environmental backgrounds with the

'variables’ of situational conditions. On the contrary,

Mathis and Jackson believe that the factors that

influence an individual's work depend on individual

abilities (talents, interests, personalities, etc.), the

level of effort undertaken (motivation, ethics,

attendance, etc.), and organizational support

(culture, equipment and technology).

Castteter stated that the factors which affect a

person basically come from himself, the

organization and the external environment. Self-

influenced stimulus include: intellectual weakness,

physiological weakness, demotivation, personality

factors, aging phase, position preparation and value

orientation. Influences originating from the

organization include: organizational systems,

organizational roles, behaviour related to

supervision, organizational climate and

organizational culture. While the influence of the

external environment includes: family, economic

conditions, politics, law, social values, the labour

market, technological changes and associations. The

role of the lecturer in quality assurance in

universities, as referred to in this working paper, is

interpreted as the behaviour of lecturers with regard

to the tasks of learning, research and community

service, but the discussion will deal much more with

the problem of research activities and the writing of

their scientific work.

2 RESEARCH METHODS

The sample of this study was 10 professors selected

using a sampling method called purposive sampling.

In this technique, who is determined to be a member

of the sample depends on the consideration of the

researcher. The sample is someone who is

considered to be in accordance with the purposes

and objectives of the study. In practice, a researcher

is permitted to appoint a data collector who is

assigned to look for a sample with relevant criteria

and objectives.

The samples chosen were professors from

different faculties of UIN Jakarta. The criteria in

determining the sample include: 1) professors who

served in the campus structure; 2) professors who

have held positions to handle the quality

management of lecturers and professors; 3)

professors who have written in international journals

or conducted international research.

This research was conducted in qualitative

method. This method relies on the description of

data such as the results of observation,

documentation and interviews. This research can

also be called descriptive - qualitative research.

Referring to Usman and his colleagues 'explanation,

this type of research is related to the effort to

understand and interpret the meaning of an

interaction or human behaviour in certain

circumstances based on the researchers' point of

view.

First, the authors collected some resources by

interviews and document collection. In addition, an

ICRI 2018 - International Conference Recent Innovation

1432

observation was carried out to support other sources.

Second, the existing sources were then classified and

verified. Third, the data was analysed and then a

report was written as the final step.

3 RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS

The development of the professor's quality at UIN

Jakarta is related to the scientific productivity that he

has achieved. Not only does the professor write or

compile reports, but also publishes his works in

books with ISBN and in reputable international

journals. Particularly in UIN Jakarta, these activities

have generally been carried out by most professors.

In 2015, these activities experienced several

dynamics to be explained further.

Until 2015, the total number of professors at UIN

Jakarta was 68 persons. Four professors retired by

December 2015 so that the number was 64 persons.

Referring to the Strategic Plan of UIN Jakarta in

2012-2016, the achievement of the number of

professors consecutively was 7.5%, 10%, 12%, 15%

and 17.5% of the total number of lecturers in that

year. This year, the number of professors at UIN

Jakarta should be 15% of the total number of

lecturers reaching 931 people. If it is recalculated,

the number of professors should be 140 persons.

This number is still far from the number of existing

professors. This year, UIN was only able to have

two more professors, Prof. Dr.MunzierSuparta. M.

A., (a professor of Educational Sciences Faculty)

and Prof. Dr.ArifSumantri, SKM, M. Kes (a

professor of Medical and Health Sciences Faculty).

Thus, the number of UIN Jakarta professors is 66

persons or only 7.1% of the total 931 percent. In the

next five years, up to 2020, the number of professors

who will have retired is 17 persons. If this is not

anticipated, the vision of UIN Jakarta to become a

world class university in 2026 will not be achieved.

The minimum number of professors is at least as

many as the number of published scientific papers.

Referring to Strategic Plan of UIN Jakarta in 2012-

2016, it is stated that one of the important points

related to the professors' activities lies in improving

the culture and quality of research, research

participation, publication of scientific works, and

dissemination of research results. Citing a study by

the Institute of Research and Community Service

(LP2M) UIN Jakarta in 2014, it was found that the

number of professors' scientific works was still

minimal, especially those published in reputable

international journals. Most UIN Jakarta professors

carried out mostly community service activities.

The lack of scientific publications at UIN Jakarta

seems to be in common with what happens in

universities in Indonesia in general. The number of

lecturers’ scientific works published is still very low,

even compared to other ASEAN countries.

According to the findings from the SCImago Survey

in 1996-2008, Indonesia was in 64th place out of

234 countries surveyed. Other ASEAN countries,

such as Singapore was at the 31

place, Thailand in

the 42

, and Malaysia in the 48

. The number of

Indonesian publications in this period was only

9,194 documents.

Based on the results of a study by LP2M UIN

Jakarta in 2014 on professors and their scientific

works, it was found that the implementation of the

Tridharma Higher Education by professors was

dominated by activities in the field of education

(teaching) and community service, while the aspect

of research was only a few. In fact, the amount of

research grant from UIN Jakarta in 2014 reached 10

billion. From 2011 to 2014, the amount of research

grants had been increasing. The amount of research

funds in 2014 increased from the previous year

which was only 5.5 billion. In fact, this fund was

provided to all UIN Jakarta lecturers, including

professors. However, it was found that among many

lecturers who received 2014 research grants, not all

professors received the funds. In other words, some

professors did not conduct any research.

The scarcity of professors’ participation in

research was also found in a few years before 2014.

In 2011, there were only 14 professors (7.6%) out of

178 lecturers who took part in the research with the

funds sourced from UIN Jakarta. In 2012, the

number declined. The researchers in that year

consisted of 143 lecturers with only 5 professors

(3.5%). In 2013, 575 lecturers were awarded the

research grants, but there were only 19 professors

(3.3%) involved in it. Compared to the total number

of professors in that year that was 65 persons, only

34.5% of professors involved in research. By 2014,

the number of lecturers involved in research was

decreasing. In fact, the research funds in this year

was far greater than in the previous year. This year,

the number of lecturers involved in research was 241

persons and only 5 professors (2.1%). In 2015, the

number of research grants increased. On this

occasion, there were only 8 research studies

conducted by professors (2.3%) out of 377 research

studies which received the research funds. Below is

The data above shows that the amount of

research grants in 2011 - 2015 was increasing every

year, not in line with the involvement of professors

in conducting research. This scarcity has impacted

on the number of published scientific papers, both in

the form of books with ISBN and in scientific papers

published by reputable international journals. This

finding needs to be studied more deeply in terms of

the factors underlying the inhibition of the

professors' scientific productivity.

According to the findings of past research, there

were several reasons why professors’ contribution in

publication, particularly in reputable international

journals, decreased. To obtain valid data, the authors

conducted a number of interviews with professors of

UIN SyarifHidayatullah. Despite their subjective

point of view, the information adequately provided a

general understanding for the main reasons of the

reluctance among professors in writing scientific

papers. The results of this study revealed that there

were several factors which led to the scarcity of the

professors’ participation in research and scientific

writing.

First, professors concurrently hold structural

positions. AzyumardiAzra, a professor of history of

Islamic culture who is also the chancellor of UIN

Jakarta (1998 - 2002 and 2002 - 2006), stated that

the main reason of the absence of professors in

research is because some of them occupy structural

officials position in an institution. This circumstance

results in the limited time to research and write. In

fact, they are not an administrator, but scientists. The

commitment to research and write is a tradition that

must not be abandoned. This is an academic

responsibility that must be fulfilled.

Azyumardi explained that when he served as

chancellor of UIN Jakarta for two periods, he tried

to fulfil all of his academic obligations. At that time,

he had to go through his days with a very busy

schedule. In the midst of his activities, he still made

use of his time to research and write. He claimed

that even though he was in the highest position in

the university, his profession as a lecturer was an

academic burden that must be considered. When he

was entrusted with the position of postgraduate

director of UIN Jakarta Director in 2007 - 2014, he

still had to share his time with the other position,

Deputy of Welfare in the Vice President Office

served by JusufKalla. He tried to take his time to

fulfil his intellectual obligations by the publication

of books or other scientific works.

Second, the age and health factor of the

professors also determine the lack of interest in

conducting research and writing. The data obtained

shows that most professors, 33 out of 64 professors

per December 2015, are 60 to 69 years old, or close

to the retirement period of 70 years. As the age is

getting elder with sometimes followed by declining

health conditions, the professors’ scientific

productivity is decreasing. Huzaemah T Yanggo,

another professor of school of comparative

jurisprudence in UIN Jakarta, justified that age and

health are problems for professors in conducting

research and writing activities. Usually, they will

need the help of assistants regarding technical

matters.

In line with Huzaemah, Lily SurrayaEkaPutri,

the professor of general biology, she said that the

performance of professors over the age of 60 is

different from those below this age. In fact, they are

obliged to produce scientific works, both in the form

of books and articles published in reputable

scientific journals. Employing assistants who are

accustomed to scientific activities seems to be a

solution to overcome the problem of scientific

productivity of senior professors. The professors can

still contribute in the academic field by contributing

their ideas, while the technical matters are

performed by their assistants.

The minimum number of nationally accredited

journals and reputable international journals at UIN

Jakarta is the third reason. The existence of journals

as an application for the ideas of professors has

become important. A journal is where lecturers

disseminate the results of their research to public. In

ICRI 2018 - International Conference Recent Innovation

1434

2015, there were 45 journals in UIN Jakarta, but not

all of them were published regularly. There were

only 2 journals, Ahkam and Iqtishad (both under the

management of the Faculty of Sharia and Law),

nationally accredited by the National Accreditation

Board of Higher Education (BAN-PT). The journal

with an international reputation was only

StudiaIslamika.

The fourth factor is the supporting facilities for

professors in each faculty. The construction of

faculty buildings in UIN Jakarta varies. Not all of

them provides a special room for professors. There

are professors’ rooms in some faculties, but they are

still general. This means one room for all professors.

This is a challenge for faculty officials and study

programs to overcome this shortcoming. With an

adequate personal space, the concentration of

research and the article writing can be maintained.

Fifth, there is no research facility available.

Oman Fathurrahman, a professor in philology,

believes that to improve the quality of professors,

the existence of research facilities is absolutely

necessary. Once this facility has been built, the next

step is to strengthen the research tradition. Before

that, the professors’ skills must first be mapped. This

mapping is useful to facilitate their empowerment.

Professors must also be given a broad access to

obtain primary sources of their research.

The foreign language skill, both oral and written,

is the sixth factor. English is an international

language including the scientific field. The mastery

of English is an important requirement for the

dissemination of research results, both in the form of

writing for international journals and for

presentations in international forums. Facts on the

ground show that mastery of English is not fully

comprehended by professors of UIN Jakarta. For

professors, who have studied at Western universities

where English is the medium of instruction, English

is not a problem.

Finally, the last factor is regarding research

funding. Every year UIN Jakarta provides research

grant funds for UIN Jakarta lecturers through the

Research and Publishing Centre (Puslitpen) and

LP2M, but from year to year the fact is that there are

not many professors accessing the funds. The

number of professors who participated in this

research program was only about 2.1% of the total

number of recipients of research funds in 2015. This

reality occurred due to several reasons including the

imbalance in the amount of funds and the population

of lecturers, including professors who could access

it. Nevertheless, there is an evidence that not all

professors submit their research proposals. In

addition, a number of proposals was not selected in

the selection process, including those submitted by

professors.

Based on the barriers described above, the main

problem of the professors is not only on their own,

but also on UIN Jakarta. The existence of professors

is an important element for the institution. This is

because their position plays a role as the main

trigger for the progress of the university. Mastna, a

professor of teacher science and former Vice

Chancellor for Academic Affairs, said that the

interest of professors is not only personal matters but

also the responsibility of study programs, faculties

and universities.

4 CONCLUSIONS

Professors at UIN Jakarta are important elements

as a science developers. Their existence determines

the quality of the institution. However, professors

are not people who only cultivate their expertise, but

also must continue to be dynamic in the academic

world, one of which is by increasing their

involvement in research and writing books and

international scientific journals. These activities

complement their other duties, namely teaching and

community service, as reflected in the Tri Darma of

Higher Education.

According to the results of the study, it is shown

that throughout 2015 (even in previous years since

2011) not all professors were active in research field.

UIN Jakarta has allocated annual grant funds (as of

2011) that can be accessed by all lecturers, including

professors. Apparently, not all professors were

involved in this study. In fact, its number is less than

half of the population. It indicates that there are

serious problems must be addressed immediately.
