JOSI Reaches Q3 in SCImago Journal Rankings
Posted on 2025-04-09In the dynamic world of academic publishing, every step forward tells a story of collective dedication, peer collaboration, and quiet perseverance. For Jurnal Optimasi Sistem Industri (JOSI), that journey has reached an encouraging milestone: its inclusion in the Q3 quartile of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering in the SCImago Journal & Country Rank (SJR).
This recognition comes not overnight, but after years of structured growth. Since being indexed in Scopus in 2019, JOSI has consistently published high-quality research that explores the evolving challenges and innovations in industrial systems. With a clear focus on optimization, operations research, reliability, and applied statistics, the journal gradually carved out its space among regional and international scholars. Its selection for indexing by SCImago—one of the world’s most respected databases for scientific journal performance—marks an important stage in that growth.
The Q3 placement in Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering stands as the journal’s highest-ranking category to date—a sign of its increasing relevance to the field it serves. With an SJR score of 0.174 and a CiteScore of 0.8, the journal continues to demonstrate steady academic progress.
Behind the metrics lies a consistent rhythm. Each year, JOSI publishes two issues containing research that blends theory and practice—often centered on real-world problems faced by manufacturing industries, service operations, and logistics systems. The editorial team has remained committed to maintaining the quality and timeliness of peer review, working closely with authors to uphold academic standards. Over time, these efforts have begun to yield citations in peer-reviewed literature, marking the gradual growth of the journal’s scholarly influence.
Still, perhaps more important than numerical rankings is what this recognition symbolizes. It reflects the trust of researchers who choose JOSI as a home for their work, the thoughtful assessments of reviewers who refine its content, and the continued support of a broader academic community invested in industrial engineering and system optimization.
As the journal looks to the future, its mission remains clear: to foster a space for rigorous, relevant, and responsible research. The Q3 recognition from SCImago affirms the path taken so far and offers encouragement for what lies ahead. JOSI invites new voices—authors, reviewers, and editors alike—to join in shaping the next chapters of this journey.
