Journal History

Jurnal Keperawatan Indonesia (JKI) is Indonesia’s oldest and most respected comprehensive nursing journal. The journal was established in 1997 by Universitas Indonesia, and as its name suggests, JKI has become a pioneer in the publication of nursing research in Indonesia.

JKI initially published three issues annually, featuring a cover design using the university’s signature yellow branding. In 1998, the publication frequency was adjusted to twice per year, and article titles were integrated directly onto the front cover. Following a period of irregular publication due to limited submissions between 1998 and 2000, operations stabilized in 2001. In 2008, the journal permanently transitioned back to a triannual publication schedule (March, July, and November) to meet national re-accreditation benchmarks and enhance editorial quality.

The journal underwent major infrastructural modernization in 2013, redesigning its cover to comply with Indonesian national journal accreditation standards and adopting electronic editorial management via the Open Journal Systems (OJS). Full online operations and open-access publishing commenced in 2014 with Volume 17. JKI expanded its digital footprint in 2017 by registering with Crossref and assigning Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) to all articles.

In 2018, JKI expanded its global reach by publishing articles in both Bahasa Indonesia and English. Currently, we only receive articles written in English.
