IDPublishing

What IDPublishing does

IDPublishing (legally PT Penerbit Jurnal Indonesia) is an Indonesian scientific journal publisher and publishing-services company headquartered in Kasihan, Bantul, Yogyakarta, operating with approximately 14 employees. The company runs the Pubmedia Journal Series, a portfolio of more than 100 peer-reviewed open-access journals indexed by Crossref, Dimensions, Google Scholar, and Road, of which five titles hold SINTA accreditation. Its end customers are Indonesian researchers, lecturers, journal managers, private publishers, and English-language education researchers who need support navigating manuscript preparation, peer review, DOI/ISSN registration, and SINTA or international indexing.

The underlying platform is Open Journal Systems (OJS 2 and OJS 3), which IDPublishing both uses to operate its own journals and offers as a deployment, upgrade, and configuration service to external journal managers. DOI registration and article-level activation are delivered through Crossref, with Pubmedia acting as its in-country Crossref sponsorship partner. Complementary services include ISSN acquisition support (with standardized MoU templates that help private publishers meet new BRIN affiliation rules), SINTA and international indexing assistance targeting Scopus and Copernicus, professional layout and editing, and plagiarism checking. The company also operates LPK Pengelola Jurnal Ilmiah, a wholly-owned vocational training institution (Lembaga Pelatihan Kerja) launched in June 2023 that delivers structured journal-management training and is licensed through the Indonesian Ministry of Employment framework.

IDPublishing monetizes primarily through one-time article processing charges (e.g., Rp200,000 per article for Pubmedia Jurnal Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris), paid training programs priced at Rp100,000–Rp1,500,000 per participant, structured accreditation and indexing consulting engagements delivered over Zoom, and Crossref-related DOI services (Pubmedia DOI prefix membership at approximately Rp750,000 per year plus USD 1.00 per article). Free offerings such as the MoU template and webinars function as lead-generation for paid programs. Go-to-market is sales-led and domestic, combining WhatsApp-driven direct sales, a self-serve customer portal on idpublishing.org, a nationwide Representatif campus-representative referral network across Indonesian universities, and educational blog and YouTube content for SEO-driven demand generation.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Frontiers: Swiss open-access publisher with a large peer-reviewed journal portfolio and similar services around DOI activation, indexing, and editorial workflow support. Comparable on open-access journal publishing model, though operating at much larger international scale.
• Hindawi (Wiley): Open-access journal publisher (now part of Wiley) with a comparable high-volume peer-reviewed journal model and APC-based revenue. Comparable on portfolio scale and APC monetization, though now operating under a major international publisher.
• MDPI: Swiss-based open-access publisher with hundreds of peer-reviewed journals and similar APC-driven revenue model. Comparable because both operate high-volume open-access journal portfolios, but MDPI is far larger, international, and indexed across major databases including Scopus.
• Copernicus Publications: European open-access publisher of peer-reviewed journals; IDPublishing markets direct Copernicus indexing assistance as a service, making Copernicus both a destination indexer and a structural comparable on open-access journal publishing.

Others

• SINTA (Science and Technology Index): Indonesia's official national journal accreditation and indexing system under the Ministry of Education. Comparable as the accreditation infrastructure IDPublishing helps its journal manager customers navigate and target.
• OJS/PKP (Public Knowledge Project): Open-source journal management platform provider whose OJS software underpins IDPublishing's journal hosting infrastructure. Comparable as the foundational technology ecosystem on which IDPublishing's service stack is built.
• Garuda (Garba Rujukan Digital): Indonesian Ministry of Education reference portal for academic journals. Comparable as adjacent ecosystem infrastructure that Indonesian journal publishers must engage with for SINTA visibility and accreditation outcomes.

Direct peers

• Scientific Research Publishing (SCIRP): Open-access publisher offering APC-based journal publication services across many disciplines. Comparable on business model (per-article APCs, open-access journals, assistance with formatting and DOI), and similar in operating profile as a high-volume mid-tier publisher.
• IISTE (International Institute for Science, Technology and Education): Open-access academic journal publisher with APC-based revenue and services supporting indexing. Comparable on the open-access journal publishing model and reliance on international databases for credibility.

Regional players

• Neliti: Indonesian research repository and discovery platform indexing Indonesian academic outputs. Comparable as a peer in the Indonesian academic publishing infrastructure ecosystem, though Neliti is primarily a discovery/repository rather than a publisher.
