With great joy and deep gratitude, we are pleased to announce a remarkable achievement for UTAMAX: Journal of Ultimate Research and Trends in Education. Based on the official decree No. 177/E/KPT/2024 issued by the Directorate General of Higher Education, Research, and Technology, our journal has officially been upgraded from SINTA 3 to SINTA 2 accreditation status.

This new accreditation status is valid starting from Volume 5, Issue 1 of 2023 through to Volume 9, Issue 3 of 2027.

This is more than just a step forward,  it is a significant leap that reflects our continuous commitment to academic rigor, editorial integrity, and publishing excellence. The journey from SINTA 3 to SINTA 2 is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and collaboration of many individuals and institutions who believe in the vision of UTAMAX.

On this occasion, I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to:

  • The editorial board and dedicated reviewers who uphold the highest standards of scholarship,

  • The authors and researchers who have entrusted their valuable work to be published with us,

  • Universitas Lancang Kuning, our home institution, for its constant encouragement and support,

  • And the Relawan Jurnal Indonesia (RJI) network for their unwavering assistance throughout this journey.

This recognition inspires us to further strengthen our role as a credible and impactful platform for the dissemination of educational research. We remain committed to advancing knowledge, fostering innovation, and supporting the global academic community through quality publications.

Let us take this momentum to aim even higher and uphold the spirit of excellence in every issue we publish.
