"Web of Science or WOS is stronger in humanities than Scopus: or stronger in the humanities field, and one of the Clarivate Analytics product derivatives is Publons, which can be used free of charge by scientific journal managers to find Peer reviewer partners (scientific journal reviewers) based on history and merit system," said Faizal. 

He stated that there were 24 complete requirements when registering with the WOS, the most important of which was the article's title and abstract in English, regardless of the language in the full-text articles. Journals must provide an accurate English translation. In addition to the timeliness of publication, the journal must state whether it has a specified publication frequency, and what is no less important is the validity of the statement. 

This is the Explanation of the Chairman of APJIKI. Among them is that published content must demonstrate compliance with the policies stated by the journal. Then peer review and published content must reflect good and effective peer review and editorial oversight.

Furthermore, content relevance, namely published content, must be consistent with the title and scope of the journal.
