Good Governance (GG) is a scholarly journal published by the National Institute of Public Administration (NIPA), through the School of Administrative Science (STIA LAN Jakarta), Indonesia. The journal focuses on administrative sciences and related disciplines, including public administration, public policy, governance, public sector management, public service innovation, bureaucracy, decentralization, sustainable development, economic development, and community empowerment. Its development reflects the continuing need to disseminate research and scholarly perspectives on governance and administrative practices in Indonesia and internationally.

Good Governance has a documented publication history extending to at least Volume 13 in 2017. The journal's archival records include Volume 13, Number 1 and Number 2, published in 2017, followed by Volume 14 in 2018. These records demonstrate the journal's continuing publication activity and its role in disseminating research on public administration, governance, public policy, and related social science issues. The journal's print ISSN is 1412-4246.

The journal's early publications addressed a range of governance and administrative issues, including public accountability, institutional governance, bureaucratic reform, public service delivery, regional development, and public policy. This multidisciplinary orientation has supported the journal's engagement with researchers, academics, public sector professionals, policy analysts, and other scholars interested in improving governance and administrative practices.

In January 2019, Good Governance began making its journal content available online through its electronic publishing platform, coinciding with the release of Volume 15, Number 1. The transition to online publishing expanded access to the journal's scholarly content and supported the broader dissemination and discoverability of its articles. The journal's electronic edition is identified by e-ISSN 2654-8240.

The adoption of an online journal management platform also provided a structured environment for manuscript submissions, editorial correspondence, peer review, publication of individual articles, and access to archived issues. The online archive preserves bibliographic information and publication records, allowing readers to consult the journal's published research across multiple volumes and years.

As its online publishing activities developed, Good Governance adopted Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) for its scholarly publications through Crossref. DOI registration supports persistent identification, citation, and retrieval of published articles, while the deposit of bibliographic metadata facilitates the discovery and linking of scholarly publications.

The journal has also developed its presence across scholarly information and discovery platforms. Its current records can be consulted through services including Dimensions, GARUDA, SINTA, Crossref, Scilit, and ROAD. These platforms serve different purposes, ranging from research discovery and citation-related information to Indonesian scholarly journal records, DOI metadata, and international bibliographic identification. Their coverage and the availability of individual article records may vary by platform.

Alongside its digital development, Good Governance maintains editorial procedures intended to support the quality, relevance, and integrity of its published research. The journal provides author guidelines, manuscript formatting requirements, peer review procedures, and publication ethics information to guide authors, reviewers, and editors throughout the publication process.

The journal requires submitted manuscripts to comply with its author guidelines and originality requirements. Authors are expected to submit original scholarly work that has not been published previously or simultaneously submitted to another journal, except where an appropriate explanation has been provided to the editor. Manuscripts that do not meet the journal's submission requirements may be rejected before proceeding to further review.

Peer review forms an important part of the journal's quality assurance process. Reviewers assess manuscripts according to their scholarly relevance, originality, methodological appropriateness, clarity of presentation, and contribution to the field. Editorial decisions are made by the editorial team, taking into account the reviewers' assessments, the journal's scope, and its applicable editorial and ethical requirements.

Good Governance also provides publication ethics information to communicate expectations concerning responsible authorship, originality, research integrity, reviewer confidentiality, conflicts of interest, and the handling of potential publication misconduct. These policies are intended to promote fair editorial practices, responsible scholarly communication, and accountability among authors, reviewers, and editors.

Good Governance publishes two issues per year, generally scheduled for March and September. The journal accepts scholarly contributions within its multidisciplinary scope, including research articles and other scholarly discussions relevant to administrative sciences, governance, public policy, public sector management, public service innovation, and related social science disciplines. Its scope allows the journal to address emerging issues and developments in governance and public administration.

During 2020–2025, the journal continued publishing successive volumes and issues through its online archive. The available records document Volume 16 in 2020, Volume 17 in 2021, Volume 18 in 2022, Volume 19 in 2023, Volume 20 in 2024, and Volume 21 in 2025. This sequence demonstrates continuity in the journal's publication activity and the maintenance of its digital scholarly record.

During this period, the journal's online presence supported access to article metadata, abstracts, full-text files, and DOI-linked publications where available. Its continuing use of an online publication platform and its presence in scholarly discovery services support the accessibility and dissemination of research relevant to academic and professional communities.

In 2026, Good Governance continues its publication activities through its online journal platform. Its published records include Volume 22, with issues covering contemporary topics in governance, public administration, bureaucratic reform, public sector human resource management, digital governance, public finance, and public service delivery.

The journal continues to provide access to its published articles, maintain its editorial and author guidance, and support the identification and discovery of its scholarly outputs through DOI-linked metadata and relevant scholarly information services. Its ongoing development is directed toward maintaining publication continuity, strengthening editorial quality, improving digital accessibility, and disseminating research that contributes to the advancement of governance and administrative sciences.
