Abstract :
The purpose of this study was to know whether brand image, motivation to
publish manuscript, affiliation with School of Medicine, Gadjah Mada University,
and prior publication experience in journals of the School of Medicine influenced
the interest to publish in those journals. The higher the numbers of respondents
showing interest to publish in the journals, the better are chances to select high
quality manuscripts with potentially more citations and broader readership.
A sample survey was conducted involving 120 respondents, who may send
their manuscripts to the journals. Questionaires for data collection were adapted
from Shukla (2010) to measure the interest to publish manuscript, from Sondoh et
al. (2007) for perception on brand image, and from Miller and Bedeian (2010) for
motivation to publish. The questionaires were distributed to respondents and selfadministered
before being handed to the researcher.
Results of the study suggest that perception on brand image is the strongest
predictor of interest to publish manuscripts in journals catered by the School of
Medicine, Gadjah Mada University. Motivation to publish only weakly predicts
interest to publish, and is not significant statistically. Affiliation and prior
publication do not seem to be associated with interest to publish. Efforts to
improve brand awareness, recognition, and perceived associations with positive
attributes of the journals would increase manuscript submission, citations and
readership among loyal readers and writers. Brand image is a useful feature in
marketing theories which can be applied in the improvement of manuscript
submission to academic journals.
