The Indonesian Institute of Sciences has issued a siren call to the country’s universities to produce more scientific and technological research papers. Indonesia currently lags well behind neighbours Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines in this regard.
The institute's Science and Technology Research Development Centre claims that a total of 2,874 articles, written by 34,216 Indonesian researchers, appeared in international journals from 2004 to 2008. In 2007, only some 59 of these emanated from the top state university, the University of Indonesia or UI.
