Dr. Mulyaningsih explained that there are many ways for articles to get published in Scopus indexed reputable journals. Researchers can submit articles to conferences that provide publication in Scopus indexed proceedings. “Publication through Scopus indexed proceedings is usually easier, compared to publishing articles directly to journals because reviewers for proceedings are usually not as strict as journal reviewers,” she said in a Scopus Indexed Proceedings Writing Assistance event at UNS Inn some time ago.

The first aspect that needs to be prepared is the suitability of the conference theme and the article. Articles that fit the conference theme will have a higher chance of being accepted than one that does not fit the theme. This suitability involves the written article’s main focus, economic activity, and efficiency. Additionally, Dr. Mulyaningsih also reminds participants to follow the format or template provided by the organizer because each organizer has its own writing style. After the article has met the conference theme and writing template, the next aspect to fulfill is plagiarism checking. Before sending the article to the organizer, the researcher must conduct a plagiarism check on the article. Scopus proceedings usually require this. Plagiarism checks can be made on applications designated by the organizer, such as Turnitin or iThenticate. In general, the required level of plagiarism should not be higher than 10 percent.

If all these steps have been done, the last step is to re-read the articles written for any spelling errors on the titles, authors, abstracts, margins, tables, images, as well as citations and references. “Each conference has a specific template, so don’t use the wrong article format because it will have a big impact,” explained Dr. Mulyaningsih at the event organized by the International Publications Implementation Unit (UPPI), Research and Community Service Institute (LPPM) UNS.

With this Writing Assistance, Dr. Mulyaningsih, who currently serves as Coordinator for Social Humanities Field at UPPI LPPM UNS, hopes that many UNS lecturers and students will be interested in submitting their articles for publication in Scopus proceedings. Despite the challenges in publication, Dr. Mulyaningsih believes that all this effort is achievable with great perseverance. Humas UNS

The first day of the program was attended by more than 100 participants consisting of lecturers and students of the Science Education Study Program FKIP UNS. The event started with remarks from the Head of the Science Education Study Program (Kaprodi) FKIP UNS, Dr. paed. Nurma Yunita Indriyanti, M.Sc., M.Sc. Following the welcome remark was the opening speech from the Vice-Dean for Academic, Research, and Student Affairs FKIP UNS, Prof. Dr. Slamet Subiyantoro, M.Sc., which at the same time opened the event symbolically.

Starting her presentation, Dr. Hobbs delivers material covering STEM in Australia, Why STEM? Framing STEM (What is It?), Approaches to STEM in Schools, STEM Teaching and Learning, Doing STEM, and What Have We Learned So Far about How to Implement STEM Well? Next, Dr. Hobbs also provides activities for students to apply STEM in groups, to design a nature-inspired technology.

On the second day, Dr. Hobbs continued her material on STEM implementation in Indonesia – how does it compare to Australia? Planning for STEM Learning and Assessment, Looking for Construction of New Practices and Beliefs, Key Pillars for Successful and Sustainable, STEM Programs in Schools, and Final Messages about Making STEM Education Work. After the material presentation, the event continued with a question and answer session. Some of the attending lecturers and students are interested in discussing with Dr. Hobbs about STEM and its application in schools. The event led by Bayu Antrakusuma, M.Pd., as moderator, went smoothly to the end of the event.

This Visiting Professor Program is expected to strengthen the Science Education Study Program FKIP UNS academic members’ knowledge of STEM. As a Lecturer of the Science Education Study Program, Bayu hopes that this activity can prepare FKIP students, as prospective teachers, to implement STEM in their schools.

“Hopefully, this activity will help FKIP students as prospective teachers to get ready to implement STEM in their future schools,” Bayu wishes. Humas UNS
