Evaluation of Journal Management Through Dialogic Communication: A Content Analysis of Agrivita International Journal of Agricultural Science Website

<p>The paper was intended to measure the website of Agrivita Journal<br />in the implementation of dialogic communication features. These<br />communicative features indicate the management capability in the<br />digital-based scientific journal process. The content analysis was<br />employed, utilizing 31 dialogic communication features that five coders<br />evaluated as the assessment instrument. The Intraclass Correlation<br />Coefficient (ICC) approach was used to measure inter-rater reliability,<br />and a composite index was used to assess the implementation strength<br />of each feature. The results showed that the ICC calculation based on the<br />two-way random effects model and absolute agreement was considered<br />reliable. ICC values of features such as the layout of the Agrivita<br />website, the publisher profile page, and visitor statistics were scored<br />1.00, indicating that the respective features perform an exceptional and<br />consistent execution in facilitating effective bidirectional communication.<br />Meanwhile, minimal ratings resulted from features like the FAQ page,<br />referring to the lack of information transparency and participation from<br />website users. This study also indicated that improving interactive and<br />informative elements on the website is substantial to induce higher<br />participation from the scientific users. Moreover, the study also pointed<br />out that the evaluation conducted by journal management should<br />include principles of dialogic communication as a strategic reference<br />to enhance governance quality and achieve international indexing.</p>
