What penerbit does

Penerbit Goodwood is an Indonesian academic publisher operating 31 peer-reviewed open-access journals across disciplines including business, social sciences, accounting, management, education, law, technology, medicine, agriculture, and community service. The platform is built on Open Journal Systems (OJS), an open-source manuscript submission and peer-review management framework, with DOI registration handled through Crossref integration. All journals operate under Creative Commons CC BY-SA 4.0 licensing and are indexed in 8+ academic databases including Google Scholar, SINTA, GARUDA, Crossref, Dimensions, and BASE. The publisher employs a double-blind peer review process with manuscripts evaluated across 11 criteria including originality, methodology, statistical analysis, and language quality. More than 500 articles have been published, with 1,000+ authors registered across 50+ countries and 12,000+ users on the publishing portal.

The company is part of the broader Goodwood group, which includes sister entities Goodwood Conferences (event organization), Goodwood Proceedings (conference publication), Goodwood Institute (researcher training), and Goodwood Services. Revenue is generated primarily through Article Processing Charges (APCs) on some journals — amounts are journal-specific and not publicly disclosed on the main site — alongside conference fees from the events portfolio. Authors retain copyright under CC BY-SA 4.0 while granting the journal first publication rights. The publisher targets Indonesian and international researchers, university faculty, and graduate students who need open-access venues for scholarly dissemination, particularly those serving Indonesian national requirements for academic publication (Abdimas/community service journals, SINTA-indexed venues). The Goodwood group ecosystem allows the publisher to generate submissions through conferences, provide professional development through the institute, and publish proceedings — creating a multi-touchpoint relationship with the academic community rather than relying solely on inbound manuscript submissions.
