Journal History

The International Journal of Research in STEM Education (IJRSE) was established in 2019 through a collaboration between RSF and the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education (FKIP) at Universitas Terbuka (UT). RSF played a key role in facilitating the article publishing process. Since May 24, 2023, IJRSE has undergone significant management changes. It is now independently managed by FKIP of Universitas Terbuka under the Institute of Research and Community Services-Universitas Terbuka, Indonesia. Additionally, the publication domain has transitioned from RSF to Universitas Terbuka.

FKIP-UT, as an institution holding the Journal, has important roles as funding support and providing scientific reviewer support from the expert on the field study of the journal.

All those entities started a collaboration to join hands together to manage the publication of the International Journal of Research in STEM Education (IJRSE) in 2019.

  • January 17, 2023. IJRSE changes the author guidelines for manuscript submission and publication. 
  • January 30, 2023. We applied Crossmark Update Policy 10.31098/ijrse-crossmark  since Volume 5 the Year 2023.

  • May 2026. Beginning with Volume 8 Number 1, IJRSE migrated from its previous journal platform at https://jurnal-fkip.ut.ac.id/index.php/ijrse to the official Universitas Terbuka journal platform at https://jurnal.ut.ac.id/index.php/ijrse. This migration was undertaken to support internal management improvements and institutional integration. Both journal websites remain accessible and will continue to be maintained to ensure long-term access to published articles, journal archives, and scholarly records.

  • August 2026. IJRSE published its first Special Issue under Volume 8, marking a significant milestone in the journal's development. The introduction of Special Issues provides a dedicated venue for high-quality scholarly contributions arising from international conferences, thematic research initiatives, and emerging topics relevant to STEM and STEAM education. Additional Special Issues may be published periodically upon approval of the Editorial Board and are subject to the same editorial and peer-review standards as regular issues.
