About the Journal
The Journal of General – Procedural Dermatology and Venereology Indonesia (JDVI) is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access scientific journal established through the initiative of leading Indonesian dermatologists and venereologists who shared a commitment to advancing research, scientific knowledge, and scholarly communication in dermatology and venereology.
Founded in 2015, JDVI was initiated by the Department of Dermatology and Venereology, Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Indonesia, and is published by Universitas Indonesia (UI) Publishing, in collaboration with Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo National General Hospital and the Indonesian Society of Dermatology and Venereology (INSDV). Since the publication of its inaugural issue in August 2015, JDVI has been published biannually, with issues released every June and December.
JDVI welcomes submissions from researchers, clinicians, and healthcare professionals worldwide in the fields of dermatology, venereology, and aesthetics. All submitted manuscripts undergo a rigorous peer-review process conducted by independent experts in the relevant fields to ensure the scientific quality, originality, validity, and significance of the published work. Editorial decisions are based on the recommendations of peer reviewers and the Editorial Board in accordance with the journal's editorial policies and ethical standards.
As a fully open-access journal, JDVI provides immediate and unrestricted online access to all published articles without subscription or paywall barriers. Authors retain the copyright of their published articles. By publishing in JDVI, the author(s) grant Universitas Indonesia, as the publisher, the right of first publication of all published material.

The journal has continuously strengthened its publishing standards and scholarly visibility. In Volume 1, the journal was abbreviated as J Gen Pro DVI. Beginning with Volume 2, the official abbreviation was revised to J Gen Proced Dermatol Venereol Indones. Since October 2015, all published articles have been assigned a unique Digital Object Identifier (DOI) through Crossref, ensuring permanent identification and accessibility of published content.
To enhance the discoverability and global dissemination of its publications, JDVI has progressively expanded its indexing coverage. The journal has been indexed in the Directory of Open Access Journal (DOAJ) since July 2017 and has been searchable through Google Scholar since November 2017. It is also indexed in several national and international databases and library discovery services, including SINTA, Garuda, ProQuest, Dimensions-Digital Science, Scilit, and library catalogues of leading academic institutions.
JDVI has also received national recognition for its publication quality. It is accredited SINTA 2 under the Ministerial Decree of the Minister of Research and Technology No. 105/E/KPT/2022, covering publications from 2021 to 2025. The accreditation was subsequently renewed under Decree No. 355/DST/D.D1/HM.01.01/2026, issued on June 28, 2026, extending the SINTA 2 accreditation to publications from 2025 to 2029.
Committed to maintaining to the highest standards of scholarly publishing and publication ethics, the journal is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and adheres to internationally recognized ethical guidelines for editors, reviewers, and authors.
Migration to New Website
A major milestone in the journal's development occurred at the end of 2022, when JDVI joined ScholarHub Universitas Indonesia, a university-wide initiative managed by the Research and Innovation Management Office to centralize and strengthen scholarly publishing. As part of this initiative, the journal migrated from the Open Journal Systems (OJS) platform to Digital Commons. The migration introduced a new website, an enhanced publishing interface, and improved digital publishing services.
Following the platform migration, the journal adopted a revised Digital Object Identifier (DOI) format in accordance with Universitas Indonesia's publishing standards. Nevertheless, all previously assigned DOIs remain fully functional, ensuring uninterrupted and permanent access to articles published before the migration.
The journal continues to improve its digital publishing platform and online services to enhance accessibility, functionality, and the overall experience for authors, reviewers, editors, and readers.
