About

Profile

This is the index of research institutions in Indonesia for the library. It lists universities, laboratories, companies and other bodies in the country whose researchers wrote at least two of the papers held on this site. The order follows the cited work that scientists did while affiliated with each institution. The same list exists for other countries and kinds of organisation, all reachable from the general index of institutions.

Every entry on the Indonesian list is a university. No laboratories, companies, hospitals or government agencies appear here, although the index would include them if they met the threshold. The universities are spread across several cities, mostly on Java, and they differ widely in how often their work here has been cited. The list reflects only the papers this library holds, so it describes Indonesian research as it shows up on this site. It is not a census of the country's research system.

The institutions and where they are

Bandung Institute of Technology heads the list. It is a university in Bandung, a city with a strong presence in the index. Two other Bandung universities also appear: Sunan Gunung Djati State Islamic University Bandung and the Indonesia University of Education. That gives Bandung more institutions on the list than any other city.

The University of Indonesia comes second. It is listed in Depok. Yogyakarta has two entries. One is the University of Petroleum, third on the list. The other is Sunan Kalijaga State Islamic University Yogyakarta, further down.

The rest are each the only entry from their city. Universitas Islam Internasional Darullughah Wadda'wah is in Pasuruan. Universitas Islam Negeri Sultan Maulana Hasanuddin Banten is in Serang. Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University Jakarta is listed under Ciputat. Universitas Islam Negeri Maulana Malik Ibrahim is in Malang.

Taken together, the index covers western and central Java and reaches into the east of the island through Pasuruan and Malang. Banten appears through Serang, and the Jakarta area through Ciputat and Depok. No institution outside Java is listed among the works here.

Two kinds of university

The names on the list fall into two broad groups.

The first group consists of general and technical universities. These are Bandung Institute of Technology, the University of Indonesia, the University of Petroleum and the Indonesia University of Education. They sit at or near the top of the list, and the most cited Indonesian work in our library comes from them.

The second group is made up of Islamic universities, which their own names identify as such. Several are state Islamic universities, named either in English or in the Indonesian form "Universitas Islam Negeri". These are Sunan Gunung Djati in Bandung, Sunan Kalijaga in Yogyakarta, Syarif Hidayatullah in Jakarta, Sultan Maulana Hasanuddin in Banten and Maulana Malik Ibrahim in Malang. Universitas Islam Internasional Darullughah Wadda'wah in Pasuruan is also an Islamic university by name.

This second group makes up a large share of the Indonesian institutions in the library. Some of them have contributed as many papers as the technical universities, or more. Their work, however, has so far drawn far fewer citations among the papers here.

How the list is ordered

The order reflects the cited work done by scientists at each institution, not simply how many papers each has produced. As a result, the order does not always match the raw volume of papers.

Bandung Institute of Technology and the University of Indonesia are the two most cited Indonesian institutions on this site. Between them they account for most of the attention Indonesian work has received in the library.

Below them the gap widens. The University of Petroleum, Sunan Gunung Djati State Islamic University Bandung and Universitas Islam Internasional Darullughah Wadda'wah each have work that has been cited. Their citations are modest compared with the two universities at the top. The Indonesia University of Education, Universitas Islam Negeri Sultan Maulana Hasanuddin Banten and Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University Jakarta have only a little citation so far.

Two institutions show no citations yet. These are Sunan Kalijaga State Islamic University Yogyakarta and Universitas Islam Negeri Maulana Malik Ibrahim. Both still qualify for the list because their researchers wrote enough papers held here.

Research strengths

The index names institutions but does not set out the subjects of their work. Any field-level picture therefore has to be read, cautiously, from the kinds of institution that appear.

The technical and general universities at the top suggest that the most cited Indonesian work here comes from engineering, the sciences or broad university research. The Islamic universities suggest a second strand of work, likely tied to the subjects such universities teach. The index itself does not confirm this.

The Indonesia University of Education points to education as a further area. The University of Petroleum, by its name, points towards the energy and resource sector.

These are inferences from institution names, not statements about particular papers. Readers who want the actual topics, authors and titles should open each university's own entry, which lists its works, people and subjects as the library holds them.

Leading institutions

In the order the index gives them, Bandung Institute of Technology comes first, followed by the University of Indonesia and the University of Petroleum. These three lead the Indonesian list on this site.

Sunan Gunung Djati State Islamic University Bandung is next. It is the highest-placed of the Islamic universities. Universitas Islam Internasional Darullughah Wadda'wah follows. Both have contributed more papers than several of the universities ranked above them, though with less citation.

The Indonesia University of Education, Sunan Kalijaga State Islamic University Yogyakarta, Universitas Islam Negeri Sultan Maulana Hasanuddin Banten, Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University Jakarta and Universitas Islam Negeri Maulana Malik Ibrahim complete the list.

Individual scientists are not named in the country index. They appear on the pages of the institutions where they worked.

Collaborations and change over time

The country index does not show co-authorship between these universities, partnerships with institutions abroad, or the years in which the papers appeared. Any account of collaboration or of how Indonesian research developed in the library over time has to come from the individual institution pages.

What the index does show is how Indonesian institutions reach the list at all. Each entry rests on researchers there having written at least two of the papers in our library. As the library adds more Indonesian work, further universities, and possibly non-university bodies, may cross that threshold and join the list. The order of those already present may also shift as their work is cited.

Reading the index

For a student, researcher or journalist, the index works best as a map of where Indonesian research in this library comes from. It shows a concentration in Bandung, a pair of institutions in Yogyakarta, and single entries across Jakarta, Depok, Banten and East Java.

It also shows a split between two kinds of university. A small group of technical and general universities holds most of the citation. A wider group of Islamic universities contributes steadily to the number of papers but has so far attracted less citation.

To go beyond this outline, follow the links to each university. There the library sets out the works, authors and topics behind each entry.
