Pramuka 42, Pandeyan, Umbulharjo, Yogyakarta, Indonesia Email: zulkardi@unsri.ac.id Abstract One of indicators to determine the quality of a journal can be observed from how many indexing institutions recognized it nationally and globally, such as Sinta, Scopus, and ScimagoJR. Furthermore, the rank of a journal in the indexing institution will add more value to the reputation of a journal. However, few journal editors are willing to share their experiences in managing a journal, from the beginning to getting recognition at the international level. Thus, this article describes the journey of the first journal in the mathematics education field from Indonesia called the Journal on Mathematics Education (JME), which is globally recognized and indexed on Scopus. JME's journey to gain global recognition is narrated in a structured way, starting from the history of journal formation, recognition at the local level, strategies to get authors from various countries, promotional activities to get credit, until finally getting a global position. In addition, this article also describes many contributions from world-class Mathematics Education researchers who have published their research results in JME. Finally, this article also describes the position of JME at national and international levels based on the data of several indexing institutes and JME's future targets. Keywords: Journal on Mathematics Education, International Reputable, Indexing, CiteScore, Sinta, Scopus, Scimagojr Abstrak Salah satu penentu kualitas suatu jurnal dapat dilihat dari seberapa banyak Lembaga pengindeks yang diakui secara nasional maupun global, seperti Sinta, Scopus, dan ScimagoJR. Selanjutnya, peringkat suatu jurnal dalam Lembaga pengindeks tersebut akan menambah nilai lebih terhadap reputasi suatu jurnal. Namun, masih sedikit editor jurnal yang bersedia menceritakan pengalaman mereka dalam mengelola suatu jurnal, mulai dari awal hingga mendapatkan pengakuan di level internasional. Oleh karena itu, artikel ini menceritakan perjalanan Jurnal pertama dan satu-satunya bidang Pendidikan matematika dari Indonesia bernama Journal on Mathematics Education (JME) yang diakui secara global dengan terindeks di Scopus. Perjalanan JME untuk mendapatkan pengakuan secara global diceritakan dengan terstruktur mulai dari sejarah terbentuknya jurnal, pengakuan di level local, sejumlah strategi mendapatkan penulis dari berbagai negara, sejumlah aktivitas promosi untuk mendapatkan rekognisi, sampai akhirnya mendapatkan posisi di level global. Selain itu, artikel ini juga mendeskripsikan sejumlah kontribusi dari para peneliti Pendidikan matematika level dunia. Mereka telah mempublikasikan hasil risetnya di JME. Terakhir, artikel ini juga menjelaskan tentang posisi JME di level nasional dan internasional berdasarkan data dari sejumlah Lembaga pengindeks, dan target JME di masa yang akan datang.
