In majority of Universities, publishing thesis is often one of the requirements for graduate students to finish their academic program. Publishing research findings is one of the more important ways to share research data with the scientific community. However, the thesis and a peer reviewed journal article are rather different entities, and although there are similarities, each has their own requirements and audiences. The task of doing so requires thought and structured preparation to ensure that the draft article is in the appropriate format and is ready to be considered for publication in a peer reviewed journal.

There are multiple benefits for publishing peer reviewed journal articles. Apart from making a scholarly contribution to the collective body of knowledge, it represents the possibility of making public and celebrating the voice of the research participants and/or service users, and so influencing practice and, potentially, effecting service provision. In addition, within a highly competitive job market, there may be potential employability advantages of having evidence of your work contributing to theory development or to practice in your chosen profession or specialism.

A range of recommendations and suggestions are offered in this workshop to assist with the transition from an academic thesis to a journal ready, publishable paper. These relate to the preparation required in advance of writing the journal paper (an area which is often ignored), as well as issues relating to selecting an appropriate journal, decisions about which parts of the thesis may constitute the paper, and a variety of other issues associated with the writing up and the publication processes.

This activity is carried out to assisst students and lecturers to write up and publish journal articles based on their thesis or dissertation.

Based on Tri Dharma Perguruan Tinggi, publication must be seen as an important, if not the most important, part of the academician life. However, writing a book is not easy and is also very competitive. After generating an ideas, the remaining question that need to be answered is: how to write a book that attracts the attention of publisher?

The webinar will focus on providing insights on the important aspects related to manuscript idea and writing technique, and strategies for finding a publisher agent and marketing the finished product. This activity is carried out with the objective to help researchers, librarians, lecturers, students, and research support staff navigate the research activity workflow more effectively and efficiently.

Writing skills for teachers and lecturers are very important. For the sake of career development and to keep learning, lecturers and teachers must fulfill the requirements to write scientific papers, both popular and published in journals. This requirement is often an obstacle to the promotion of the ranks for educators given the low ability and interest in writing. In addition to being a requirement for career development, writing is also a means of self-development of a teacher and lecturer. Teachers and lecturers have a lot of potential and this potential will develop optimally by writing.

This activity is carried out with the following objectives:

1. provides knowledge through training for lecturers and teachers who are not experienced in writing popular scientific articles,
2. encourages and increases the number of popular scientific articles, and
3. develops knowledge and improve the quality of writing popular articles for lecturers and teachers.
