On May 3 2024, the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (FMIPA) Semarang State University (UNNES) held an article writing training aimed at improving lecturers’ written work with a focus on publication in the international journal indexed by Clarivate – Web of Science. This activity was held as an effort to support improving the quality of research and scientific publications from academics within FMIPA UNNES.
The main resource person at this event was Associate Prof. Dr. Khanom Binti Simarani, an expert in the field of writing scientific articles and also an Associate Professor from Universiti Malaya. He has extensive experience in guiding and training researchers and academics to publish their papers in well-known international journals.
In this training session, Dr. Khanom Binti Simarani provides an in-depth understanding of the criteria for writing articles that can be accepted and indexed in the Clarivate – Web of Science database. Starting from selecting relevant and significant topics, to appropriate writing techniques and effective publication strategies, all these aspects are discussed comprehensively.
“In this era of globalization, scientific publications in indexed international journals are very important to increase the visibility and reputation of our research,” said Dr. Khanom Bint Simarani. “I hope that with this training, FMIPA UNNES lecturers will be more confident and skilled in compiling and publishing their written work in prestigious journals.”
The training participants, consisting of lecturers and researchers in various disciplines at FMIPA UNNES, were very enthusiastic about participating in each session and actively discussed with the resource person.
