Publication Quality

Since the 1700s, peer review has been a part of scientific publication. Quality peer reviews take extensive time and effort yet reviewers are not often compensated. This editorial announces the new offering of the National Certification Board for Thereputic Massage & Bodywork (NCBTMB)-approved continuing education hours for our peer reviewers who complete timely reviews. Instructions to register as a peer reviewer and how to conduct a review are offered. Thank you to our 2016 and 2017 peer reviewers.

Cost reduction and availability of specialized hardware for image processing have made it reasonable to purchase a stand-alone interactive work station for computer aided analysis of micrographs. Some features of such a system are: 1) Ease of selection of points of interest on the micrograph. A cursor can be quickly positioned and coordinates entered with a switch. 2) The image can be nondestructively zoomed to a higher magnification for closer examination and roaming (panning) can be done around the picture. 3) Contrast and brightness of the picture can be varied over a very large range by changing the display look-up tables. 4) Marking items of interest can be done by drawing circles, vectors or alphanumerics on an additional memory plane so that the picture data remains intact. 5) Color pictures can easily be produced. Since the human eye can detect many more colors than gray levels, often a color encoded micrograph reveals many features not readily apparent with a black and white display. Colors can be used to construct contour maps of objects of interest. 6) Publication quality prints can easily be produced by taking pictures with a standard camera of the T.V. monitor screen.

Standard Practices

Dear readers,The year 2017 marks the 55th anniversary of the Journal of Information & Communications of the Ministry of Information and Communications, and the 18th anniversary of its scientific publication – the Research and Development on Information and Communication Technology (RD-ICT) journal. Again, the purpose of RD-ICT is to provide a forum for researchers and professionals to disseminate original and innovative ideas in the fields of information technology, communications and electronics in Vietnam and worldwide.Without kind support and invaluable contribution of readers and authors, and hard work of the anonymous reviewers and editors under the former editorship of Prof. Nguyễn Thúc Hải, Prof. Trần Văn Lộc and Prof. Nguyễn Cảnh Tuấn, RD-ICT would not be what it is today – a total of 37 issues in Vietnamese and 14 issues in English.To contribute to the development of research in Vietnam, toward standard practices, high quality and international visibility, RD-ICT has been taking measures by following current practices of prestigious international research journals. In this editorial, we would like to inform you some of the things we have been doing lately.Since June 2014, RD-ICT has applied online journal management and publishing, thanks to the well-known open-source Open Journal System of the Public Knowledge Project, which is used by thousands of online scientific journals worldwide. The editorial board of RD-ICT is currently being extended to include international prominent scientists, thus forming a team of international associate editors, under the complementary technical editorship of Prof. Đỗ Ngọc Minh (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, United States), Prof. Nguyễn Hoàng Hà (University of Saskatchewan, Canada) and Prof. Nguyễn Linh Trung (Vietnam National University, Hanoi). Each submission is now assigned to an associate editor who then coordinates the review process and makes editorial decision.For improved paper quality in terms of organization and presentation, authors are guided to good practice of technical paper writing. In addition, accepted submissions are now copy-edited, by the corresponding associate editors, and laid out using LATEX.Apart from already being an open-access journal, RD-ICT is also looking into other measures to increase its visibility, such as all-English publishing, digital object identification, Google Scholar citation, and SCOPUS indexing.Taking the opportunity of informing the above changes, we would like to, again, express our sincere gratitude and appreciation to the readers, authors, reviewers and editors of RD-ICT, and to the leadership of the Ministry of Information and Communications and its predecessors – the Directorate General of Posts and Telecommunications, the Ministry of Post and Telecommunications – for their continued support and contribution to RD-ICT.We look forward to your comments and feedback for better developing the RD-ICT journal for Vietnam.Sincerely,Vũ Chí Kiên, Editor-in-ChiefĐỗ Ngọc Minh, Nguyễn Hoàng Hà, Nguyễn Linh Trung, Technical Editors-in-Chief

This research aims to promote the development of the character of learning community at Madrasah Tsanawiyah of Bantul Regency Yogyakarta, and two problems posed to be addressed: why the character of community learning pattern does not realize as it has been expected, and how does the development of the character of learning community at MTs of Bantul look like? The research uses the Research and Development model that is consisted of four stages: exploration, development, tests, and dissemination. The data were collected by means of observatiosn, interviews, questionaire, and review of documentation. The results show: (1) the character of learning community at the MTs in Bantul Regency has not been fully established because the teachers were not active in preparing their lesson study, and they did not benefit from it. Also, they were too busy in fulfilling their obligations as teachers; (2) the development of the character of learning community at MTs in Bantul could be implemented through Classroom Action Research-based lesson study plans which are consisted of five stages: consolidation of lesson study concepts, explanation of Classroom Action Research as a form of scientific publication, planning, implementation of action, and reflection.
