Perancangan UI/UX My Seven Berbasis Mobile Dengan Metode User Centered Design (UCD)

Pada era digital saat ini, sistem pendidikan di indonesia perlu terus didorong untuk beradaptasi terhadap teknologi.  Dalam rangka adapatasi pada kebutuhan teknologi, terutama keniscayaan yang muncul karena pandemi COVID-19, sistem informasi yang terintegrasi dengan pembelajaran pada sekolah diperlukan untuk kelancaran proses pengajaran dan administrasi pendidikan. Oleh karena itu peneliti melakukan perancangan prototype berupa aplikasi informasi akademik pada tingkat SMK. Penelitian ini menggunakan  metode User Centered Desain (UCD), untuk dapat menghasilkan prototipe yang sesuai dengan harapan penggunanya. Melalui wawancara langsung kepada beberapa guru, murid dan tenaga administrasi, kemudian menganalisis dan membuatkan desain prototipe high fidelity yang dibutuhkan oleh pengguna. Untuk memastikan kesesuaian harapan pengguna dengan hasil desain, pada penelitian ini menguji prototipenya dengan instrument System Usability Design (SUS). Hasil dari pengujian diperoleh skor rata-rata dengan skor 74,4, hal ini menunjukan rancangan desain aplikasi MY SEVEN sebagai aplikasi sistem informasi akademik pada SMK sudah cukup baik untuk dapat dikembangkan aplikasinya dan diterapkan di sekolah.

Citation performance of Indonesian scholarly journals indexed in Scopus from Scopus and Google Scholar

Citation frequency is an important factor for estimating the quality of a scientific journal, and the number of citations that an academic paper receives is often used as a measure of its scientific impact. This study aimed to characterize the citation performance of scientific journals published by Indonesian publishers that have been indexed in Scopus by analyzing the number of citations available in the Scopus database and Google Scholar. The results of the study identified 30 Indonesian journals that have been Scopus-indexed, of which 22 were listed in SCImago Journal Rank up to October 2017. Journals in the engineering field were the most cited, with 2,427 citations, including 930 self-citations. A large proportion of the citations were of recently-founded journals. The mean proportional difference in the citation frequency between Scopus and Google Scholar was 14.71%

Usability and acceptance of crowd-based early warning of harmful algal blooms

Crowdsensing has become an alternative solution to physical sensors and apparatuses. Utilizing citizen science communities is undoubtedly a much cheaper solution. However, similar to other participatory-based applications, the willingness of community members to be actively involved is paramount to the success of implementation. This research investigated factors that affect the continual use intention of a crowd-based early warning system (CBEWS) to mitigate harmful algal blooms (HABs). This study applied the partial least square-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) using an augmented technology acceptance model (TAM). In addition to the native TAM variables, such as perceived ease of use and usefulness as well as attitude, other factors, including awareness, social influence, and reward, were also studied. Furthermore, the usability factor was examined, specifically using the System Usability Scale (SUS) score as a determinant. Results showed that usability positively affected the perceived ease of use. Moreover, perceived usefulness and awareness influenced users’ attitudes toward using CBEWS. Meanwhile, the reward had no significant effects on continual use intention
