Journal History

Gadjah Mada Journal of Psychology (GamaJoP) was launched in 2015 as an outlet for the publication of a Psychology Master’s thesis at Gadjah Mada University taking into account that this program produces a large number of final assignments each year. From the start, Gadjah Mada Journal of Psychology (GamaJoP) was published three times a year with the aim of disseminating empirical research reports that did not involve clinical or therapeutic interventions. However since 2018 Gama JoP has only been published in two editions a year (May and October).

Gadjah Mada Journal of Psychology (GamaJoP) was accredited by the National Journal Accreditation (ARJUNA), managed by the Ministry of Research, Technology, and Higher Education of the Republic of Indonesia, with Third Rank (Sinta 3) for the period 2018–2022, in accordance with Decree No. 28/E/KPT/2019. Subsequently, the journal was re-accredited with Second Rank (Sinta 2) for the period 2020–2025 based on Decree No. 164/E/KPT/2021.
