Semarang (08/03), A scientific article is a factual composition about a problem that is published in a journal, magazine, or bulletin with the aim of conveying ideas and facts, convincing, educating, and offering solutions to a problem. With the publication of scientific articles, it becomes the latest study material for researchers to conduct further research, both in similar or different fields. Other researchers can learn about proper writing techniques from published articles, especially those accepted in reputable international journals. This can have a broader impact and can serve as a reference for writing scientific articles internationally.
Despite the numerous benefits of publishing scientific articles in reputable international journals, it requires a significant effort, especially for students pursuing their Ph.D. studies in the Public Health Sciences Program, Faculty of Public Health, Universitas Diponegoro (DKM FKM UNDIP), where students are obligated to publish scientific articles in reputable international journals.
The Education Seminar for the Health Promotion Master’s Program, Faculty of Public Health, Universitas Diponegoro (FKM UNDIP) with the theme “Writing Scientific Articles for Reputable International Journals” was held to address this issue. The event featured an expert speaker in scientific article writing, Dr. Rosmiati, S.Si., M.Sc., from the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN), moderated by Ratih Indraswari, S.KM, M.Kes, a lecturer at Diponegoro University and a student of the Public Health Sciences Program, Faculty of Public Health, Diponegoro University (DKM FKM UNDIP). The event was held virtually via zoom, and many DKM FKM UNDIP students and alumni showed great enthusiasm for attending the seminar as it provided useful knowledge to help students in completing their studies.
