Journal History

SOLUSI: Solution Journal is a scientific journal in business and economics published by the Faculty of Economics, Semarang University. The journal was first published through the Open Journal System in January 2007, starting with Volume 6, Number 1. Since its inception, SOLUSI has aimed to disseminate conceptual ideas, scientific thinking, and research findings in business and economics. Publication occurs four times a year: in January, April, July, and October.

In 2018, the journal was managed under the leadership of Prof. Dr. Ir. Hj. Kesi Widjajanti, S.E., M.M. as Editor-in-Chief, with Citra Rizkiana, S.E., M.M. as Editorial Manager. During this period, articles were published using the Open Journal System (OJS) version 2, from Volume 16, Number 1, to Volume 20, Number 4. All publications have been officially registered with P-ISSN and E-ISSN.

2023 marked a significant milestone for SOLUSI, with the achievement of SINTA 6 accreditation, valid from Volume 18, Number 3, 2020, to Volume 23, Number 2, 2025, based on Decree Number 79/E/KPT/2023. In the same year, the Editorial Manager was replaced by Dr. Andhy Tri Adriyanto, S.E., M.M.

Entering 2024, the journal's management structure underwent another change. The position of Editor-in-Chief was held by Dr. Andhy Tri Adriyanto, S.E., M.M., while the Editorial Manager was held by Bonita Prabasari, S.Pd., M.Ak. From 2024 to the present, each publication edition contains 10 scientific articles.

As part of quality improvement efforts, on January 2, 2024, the Writing Guidelines and Article Template were updated, effective with Volume 22, Number 1 (January 2024). In the same year, SOLUSI also expanded its academic network through a collaboration with the Indonesian Management Forum (FMI) and established a partnership with the Indonesian Economics and Accounting Research Association (AREAI) in 2025.

To improve the quality of governance and publication services, the OJS system was upgraded to version 3 in 2025 to strengthen editorial management, accessibility, and user experience.

Significant progress was achieved again in early 2026. Based on Decree Number 295/C/C3/KPT/2026 dated January 2, 2026 (page 83, table 340), the SOLUSI Journal officially increased its accreditation rating from SINTA 6 to SINTA 3. This achievement reflects a continued commitment to maintaining academic standards, improving journal governance, and strengthening scientific contributions in the fields of business and economics. The accreditation certificate is currently pending issuance.

This history demonstrates that SOLUSI: Solusi Journal continues to develop consistently, both in terms of management, publication systems, institutional networks, and academic quality.
