At Editage, we are committed to empowering researchers with solutions that simplify their research journey and strengthen global visibility. Partnering with Universitas Hasanuddin is a strategic step toward promoting research that meets global standards and shapes the future of knowledge creation for Indonesian researchers.”

Prof. Ir. Andi Dirpan, S.TP., M.Si., PhD, Secretary of the Publication Management Center at Universitas Hasanuddin, added, “This collaboration marks an important step for Universitas Hasanuddin as we adopt Editage’s advanced AI-powered solutions into our research ecosystem. By giving our faculty access to complete solution for research writing, we aim to accelerate publication success, strengthen global impact, and nurture a culture of innovation.
