Bagaimana agar diterima oleh journal dengan ISI?
1. Good idea (very important)2. Good originality Penemuan benar2 baru Cari apa yang baru 3. Penyempurnaan dari penemuan yang telah ada 4. Dilengkapi dengan analisis intelektual

• < 1.00 Sangat mudah untuk dimasuki
Editor OK, reviewer biasanya agak jelimet • 1.00 – 2.00 Mulai ditemukan beratnya namun bisa • 2.00 – 4.00 Lumayan berat
• 4.00 – 9.00 Cukup berat
• > 10.00 Membutuhkan originalitas tinggi Membutuhkan analisa intelektual tinggi

Algorithm for writing?
1. Dream and Idea (very important) 2. Good experimental data
(80% needed; but can be alternated) 3. Bermanfaat bagi orang banyak?
4. Compare with current papers (not book!!!) 5. Mulai menulis

Experimental method
Experimental method
1. Menjelaskan penelitian apa yang dilakukan Untuk membuktikan our hypothesis 2. Hal yang dimasukkan
- Material
- cara penelitian (Alat pembuatan, statistik, quesioner, survey) - Karakterisasi apa saja (gunakan alat apa, program komputer) - Dimana dan kapan dilakukan
3. Semua ditulis termasuk merk dan brand
4. Semua harus terinci, namun ada sesuatu yang disembunyikan “Sembunyi tapi terlihat tidak sembunyi”
Melindungi hak intelektualitas
Note: Walaupun ada yang disembunyikan, namun apabila orang yang mengulang harus benar2 dengan “seksama”, tidak bisa sembarangan.
Para peneliti International adalah orang yang kepakarannya tinggi, don’t miss anything for this section

Results and Discussions
Result:• Menjelas data, tanpa diskusi
• Semua gambar, tabel, foto harus dijelaskan dan dirinci. Jangan sampai ada yang terlewat
• Susun gambar, tabel, foto agar enak dibaca dan informatif • Jangan ada gambar yang ganda/duplikat dalam manuscript • Gambar, tabel, foto, harus dirinci penomorannya
• Legenda juga harus lengkap dan enak dibaca
Jangan copy paste langsung dari Excel, karena terkadang legenda tidak cocok dengan paper
Discussion
• Bukan pengulangan dari Result
• Menjelaskan data dan kaitkan dengan theori yang ada - Mengapa berbeda, lebih baik, atau lebih buruk
• Kalau perlu bandingkan dengan hasil orang lain (lebih baik) • Tambahkan data2 lain untuk mendukung hipotesis
