Analysis of the Relevance of Meeting Activities to the Number of Scientific Publications Using Invitation Management System Data

Abstract

The invitation management system is one of the applications of the Smart Information System. One invitation management system developed by the Faculty of Engineering Gadjah Mada University (FT UGM) is the SIMADANG application. SIMADANG manages data from all meeting activities (meetings and FGDs) at FT UGM, which can be processed to determine the relevance of the meeting activities to performance achievements, one of which is the number of scientific publications. The invitation management system data is processed using panel data regression and produces several findings. From data processing it was found that the frequency and number of meeting participants had a significant effect on the effectiveness of the meeting indicated by the number of scientific publications.
