About the Journal

Since 2015, the Creative Research Journal (CR Journal) has been a platform for scientific research dissemination, focusing on West Java's developmental challenges. Managed by the Regional Research and Development Agency (BP2D) of West Java Province, this biannual publication accepts various article types, including research papers, reviews, technical records, and editorials. In a move to support open access, CR Journal implements a no-fee policy for published articles.

Submission to CR Journal requires online registration and login. Authors can track their submissions through the online system. Only electronically submitted articles via the online portal are considered; all others are automatically rejected. For submission-related queries, the Editorial Office can be reached at [email protected].

The editorial process begins with an Initial Review by the Editor, examining language, scope alignment, originality, and plagiarism. Turnitin software is employed to ensure content originality. Articles passing this stage proceed to a Double-blind Full Review, conducted by at least two peer reviewers.

Post-review, authors receive feedback for revisions. Reviewers assess both substantial and technical aspects of the articles. The Editor-in-Chief, considering all evaluations, makes the final publication decision. Accepted articles undergo a final proofreading phase involving both the Editor and the Author.

CR Journal prioritizes confidentiality in all aspects of the review process. The Editorial Team ensures author anonymity during the review phase, and all reviewer decisions are based on objective criteria.

CR Journal Vol. 10 No. 01 June 2024 comprises five articles covering various sectors with the following titles: (1) Identification of Demographic Patterns in West Java Province Using Spatial Autocorrelation: Preparing for the Peak Demographic Dividend Momentum; (2) Study of Layered Architecture for Application Development in Supporting Application Building in the West Java Provincial Government; (3) Acceleration of Certificate Issuance for the Complete Systematic Land Registration Program in Bandung Regency; (4) The Impact of Infrastructure Availability on Income Inequality in West Java Province; and (5) Challenges and Future of the Ciwaringin Hand-Written Batik Industry, Cirebon: A Case Study Analysis Using IFAS and EFAS Techniques.

The first article offers contributions and provides insights into significant locations in West Java for policy studies and further research in preparation for the demographic dividend momentum. Then, the second article highlights the relevance of implementing this architecture in the West Java Provincial Government environment, referencing existing local regulations and policies. The research results indicate that this four-layer technology standardization can be an effective solution to address challenges in government application development and support sustainable digital transformation.

The third article demonstrates that the implementation of the complete systematic land registration program in Bandung Regency has been carried out in accordance with the program implementation stages. However, there are still some inhibiting factors in human resources, public awareness, and completeness of application documents. Recommendations for accelerating land certificate issuance include enhancing human resource competencies and developing internal technical guidelines (PTSL handbook). Next, the fourth article shows that the availability of road infrastructure is a dominant factor in reducing income inequality in West Java compared to educational and health facilities. This may occur because road infrastructure promotes inter-regional connectivity, more equitable development of other facilities, and increased business productivity, thereby increasing community income and ultimately reducing income inequality. The fifth article, based on the IFAS and EFAS values, provides a quantitative assessment that can assist local governments in evaluating and creating development programs for the Ciwaringin batik industry. The results of this study can provide policy direction to be more effective and efficient.
