About the Journal

JURNAL EXACT: KAJIAN KEMAHASISWAAN is a peer-reviewed scholarly outlet dedicated to advancing rigorous, critical, and evidence-based contributions authored by university students. The journal positions students not merely as learners but as emerging knowledge producers who are capable of formulating research questions, applying sound methodologies, and offering defensible arguments that speak to contemporary academic and societal challenges.

In an era marked by rapid technological change, information overload, and increasingly complex public problems, the role of student research is both strategic and ethically consequential. EXACT Journal therefore welcomes manuscripts that do more than report findings; it prioritizes works that critically interrogate assumptions, assess methodological choices, engage competing perspectives, and reflect on the social, legal, and ethical implications of research outcomes. Submissions are expected to demonstrate clarity of argumentation, analytical depth, and academic integrity, supported by credible sources and, where relevant, robust data.
