Scholarly publishing in the fields of science and engineering plays an important role in developing and disseminating knowledge. In this context, bibliometric analysis is used as a method and tool to understand trends, patterns, and impact of scientific publications. The main objective of this research is to carry out bibliometric analysis of articles published by Semarak Ilmu Publishing. Information about productivity, collaboration, and impact of publications based on the keyword “Semarak Ilmu Publishing” as publisher was explored to provide better insight into their potential contribution to improving understanding and development in the fields of science and engineering. Based on the analysis, the number of articles that were published in 2019-2024 reached more than 40 articles with the number of articles per year being 45 articles in 2019, 75 articles in 2020, 50 articles in 2021, 79 articles in 2022, 66 articles in 2023, and 17 articles in 2024. For the case of 2024, since it is still at the beginning of the year, the number of publications is still low. Apart from that, each article has been widely cited by other authors with an average citation per year of 263.53 citations. This research becomes an initial basis for further evaluation of Semarak Ilmu Publishing and its contribution to supporting the scientific ecosystem.

This study aims to examine the development and trends of research related to radicalism in the context of digital technology. Research data was obtained using the Publish or Perish reference manager application by taking references from journals indexed by Google Scholar. A total of 907 articles relevant to the keywords “Radicalism” AND “Digital Technology” from 2018 to 2023 were collected. The data was then analysed and visualized using the VOSviewer application. The results provide insight into the development of radicalism research in the era of digital technology. Bibliometric analysis reveals year-to-year research trends, the main contribution of citation counts, and the development of key concepts in the literature. The results of this study can provide a foundation for future research into a better understanding of radicalism in the context of digital technology.

In this editorial, we will introduce the contributions to the Special Issue entitled “Measuring Open Access Uptake: Databases, Metrics, and International Comparisons.” The contributions to this Special Issue explore the methods and metrics that are used to assess open access (OA) uptake across disciplines and regions, a crucial topic considering the growing push by several research institutions worldwide to achieve 100% OA. We will discuss the impact of OA on scholarly publishing, focusing on how economic factors and discipline-specific practices shape its adoption. Additionally, we will examine the transformation of OA models, the citation benefits of a hybrid OA model, and regional perspectives. Our analysis identifies key challenges and disparities in OA adoption and suggests future directions for achieving sustainable and equitable access to research.
