About the Journal

BHAKTI: Jurnal Antikorupsi is a scientific journal managed by the Center For Anti-Corruption Studies at The Faculty of Law, Bung Hatta University, which publishes research, study, and theoretical and conceptual thinking on anti-corruption issues in all fields of scientific disciplines. BHAKTI: Jurnal Antikorupsi was published third a year periodically and first published in January 2025.

BHAKTI: Jurnal Antikorupsi can be explained in various understandings. The Indonesian Dictionary describes the meaning of integrity as "The quality, character, or condition that shows a unified whole so that it has the potential and ability to show authority; honesty." Integrity itself is defined as a combination of mindset, feelings, speech, and behavior in harmony with the conscience of the prevailing norms.

With many kinds of meanings, it can be pursued that integrity has keywords: consistency in the value of truth, honesty, virtue, and can be trusted. This is what inspired the Center For Anti-Corruption Studies to make BHAKTI: Jurnal Antikorupsi the name of its scientific journal.

The diversity of topics raised in BHAKTI: Jurnal Antikorupsi should be seen as a 'call' for writers and researchers to discuss, discover, and develop a scientific view. The difference in perspective in a phenomenon is certainty in the academic world. However, scientific dialogue must continue to be built even though it must cross differences to foster thought and insight, especially in anti-corruption issues.

We hope BHAKTI: Jurnal Antikorupsi can be a scientific platform that motivates and facilitates intellectuals conducting scientific research in anti-corruption issues. Because knowledge and integration are one of the formation points of anti-corruption behavior, they should go together. As written by the English literary expert in the 18th century, Samuel Johnson, Integrity without knowledge is weak and useless, and knowledge without integrity is dangerous and dreadful.
