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.
