1. Establishment and Early Development

Jurnal Pengembangan Penyuluhan Pertanian (JP3) is a scientific journal published by Politeknik Pembangunan Pertanian Yogyakarta–Magelang. The journal provides a platform for disseminating research findings, scholarly studies, and practical insights related to agricultural extension, livestock, agribusiness, and agricultural technology. Its publication history can be traced through the journal's archived issues and records available in the GARUDA journal directory.

The available online archive documents issues published in July and December 2015, identified as Volume 11, Numbers 21 and 22. These records provide an early verifiable reference point for the journal's publication history. The official establishment year and the complete history of its earliest print editions should be confirmed against the publisher's institutional records and original journal issues.

2. Development of Publication and Journal Identity, 2016–2018

The journal archive records continued publication in 2016 and 2017, followed by issues in 2018. The available records show that the journal published research concerning agricultural and livestock production, farm management, and related development issues. Some historical issue records use the title “Jurnal Pengembangan Penyuluhan Peternakan,” while the current journal website uses “Jurnal Pengembangan Penyuluhan Pertanian.” This historical variation should be understood in the context of the journal's archived records and should not be interpreted as a formal title change without confirmation from the publisher.

During this period, the journal's published articles included print and electronic ISSN information and began to show article-level DOI records in the accessible archive. For example, the GARUDA record for Volume 16, Number 29 (2019) lists a DOI for an individual article. Historical publication records can be accessed through the GARUDA archive for JP3.

3. Continued Publication and Digital Dissemination, 2019–2022

From 2019 to 2022, the journal continued publishing issues under successive volume and issue designations. The available records include Volume 16 in 2019, Volume 17 in 2020, Volume 18 in 2021, and Volume 19 in 2022. These archives document the journal's ongoing publication of research related to agriculture, livestock, agricultural extension, and associated fields.

The journal's digital publication infrastructure is part of the online journal directory operated by Politeknik Pembangunan Pertanian Yogyakarta–Magelang using the Open Journal Systems (OJS) platform. The online system supports access to journal information, article metadata, published issues, and submission-related information. The journal's current platform can be accessed through the official JP3 website.

4. Expansion of the Journal Archive and Publication Consistency, 2023–2025

The journal's archive records Volume 20 in 2023, Volume 21 in 2024, and Volume 22 in 2025. The available issues show publication in July and December, consistent with the journal's stated twice-yearly publication frequency. These records demonstrate continuity in the journal's publication schedule and the availability of its articles through the online journal platform and external scholarly discovery services.

During this period, the journal continued to disseminate research covering agricultural extension, farmer and rural development, livestock-related topics, and other areas associated with its scholarly scope. The journal's current Focus and Scope page provides the applicable subject areas for prospective authors and readers.

5. Current Development and Publication Status, 2026

As of 2026, the journal website lists Volume 23, Number 1 (July 2026), with a publication date of 29 September 2026. The journal identifies Politeknik Pembangunan Pertanian Yogyakarta–Magelang as its publisher and states that it is a peer-reviewed journal published twice a year. It displays print ISSN 1858-1625 and electronic ISSN 2685-1725. These details can be verified on the official JP3 website.

The current journal description covers research and studies in agricultural extension, rural development, farmer empowerment, smart farming, and agribusiness innovation. The journal accepts quantitative and qualitative research and provides article abstracts in Indonesian and English, as described on its official website.

6. Development of Indexing and Scholarly Visibility

JP3 is listed in GARUDA (Garba Rujukan Digital), an Indonesian scholarly literature discovery service. Its GARUDA profile identifies Politeknik Pembangunan Pertanian Yogyakarta–Magelang as the publisher and lists the journal's print and electronic ISSNs.

The journal is also listed in the Indonesian Science and Technology Index (SINTA) profile. The profile currently identifies the journal as accredited at SINTA 4. The official profile should be consulted for the current accreditation status and the relevant accreditation history; the exact validity period and the dates of individual accreditation decisions should be recorded from the official accreditation documents.

The journal's articles are discoverable through Google Scholar, as reflected in the journal's scholarly indexing and article-discovery records. The journal's inclusion in these services improves the discoverability of its published research. However, inclusion in a discovery service should not be described as equivalent to indexing in every international citation database.

7. Development of Editorial and Publication Policies

As the journal's online publishing presence has developed, its website has provided information about its focus and scope, publication schedule, author submission requirements, editorial team, and peer-review process. These policies help authors and readers understand the journal's academic remit and editorial procedures. The current versions of the journal's policies should be consulted on the official JP3 website.

The journal's stated peer-review process and reviewer guidance describe the responsibilities involved in manuscript evaluation. Historical reviewer instructions available in the journal system refer to a double-blind review process and a review period of 14 days, with a possible seven-day extension. Because policies may be revised over time, these details should be included in the journal's formal history only when the editorial office confirms the applicable dates and versions.

The journal's ongoing policy development should maintain clear guidance on publication ethics, authorship, competing interests, research integrity, corrections and retractions, post-publication discussion, reviewer responsibilities, and editorial independence. Such policies should be implemented and reviewed in line with recognized standards for scholarly publishing, including the COPE Core Practices and the Principles of Transparency and Best Practice in Scholarly Publishing.

8. Commitment to Continuous Improvement

JP3 continues to provide a publication platform for scholarly work relevant to agricultural extension, agriculture, livestock, agribusiness, and agricultural innovation. The journal's development is reflected in its archived publication record, online journal management, article-level metadata, and listing in scholarly discovery and accreditation services.

To maintain an accurate and transparent journal history, JP3 will update this page when verified information becomes available concerning its original establishment, changes in journal title or publisher, print-to-digital development, DOI implementation, indexing milestones, accreditation decisions, and major revisions to editorial policies. Any historical statement should be supported by official journal issues, institutional records, indexing records, or formal accreditation documents.
