Journal History

Jurnal Pembelajaran Fisika (JPF) was first published in July 2012 with p-ISSN 2302-0105, and e-ISSN 2684-9828. In the beginning, JPF contained articles in the Indonesian language concerning physics and physics learning. Between 2012 - 2017, the number of issues per year was not certain. This is because the initial purpose of JPF was to facilitate our Physics Education Students in publishing their research as a partial fulfilment of the graduation requirement. 

Since 2018, JPF has committed to improving the journal's quality in terms of management and substance aspects. Now JPF is a publication medium for researchers, lecturers, teachers, educational practitioners, and students, from any institution, both national and international. JPF also changes the scope and focus to be more specifically related to issues of physics teaching and learning (i.e. assessment and evaluation, learning models and strategies, development of learning media and materials, use of technology, curriculum development, teacher professional development, student engagement and motivation, and inclusive education in physics)

To maintain the quality of articles to be published, JPF tightens the process of accepting articles by changing the period of journal publishing biannually, every June and December. JPF has also been working with many physics education experts from various institutions/universities to become JPF editors and reviewers. Therefore, the editorial team and reviewers of JPF experienced changes, which initially only involved local editors and reviewers, now involving national and international level editors and reviewers.

JPF continuously updates and improves the article submission guidelines, including the structure of headings, author information, abstract formatting, citation and reference styles, and the substantive elements of articles. All these details are clearly and comprehensively outlined in the JPF template. This new template version has been implemented since the June 2024 edition.

JPF was first published using Bahasa Indonesia, and since Volume 7 Issue 1 2019, all articles have been published in English. JPF has become a CrossRef Member since the year 2019. Therefore, all articles published have a unique DOI number, beginning from Vol. 7 No. 1 (2019).

JPF was first Accredited with 3rd rank (SINTA 3) based on the Decree of the Director-General of Research and Development, The Ministry of Research, Technology, and Higher Education No. 91/E/KPT/2019. The current accreditation remains at SINTA 3, as per the Decree of the Director General of Higher Education, Research, and Technology Number 72/E/KPT/2024, dated April 1, 2024. This accreditation is valid until Issue 2 of Volume 13, 2025.
