UNS — The International Publication Department (UPPI) Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) Surakarta held an assistance program for UNS faculty members and postgraduate students in writing manuscripts for Scopus-indexed proceedings.
The writing assistance program was held offline in Indraprastha Room, UNS Inn, on Thursday (7/4/2022) and online through the Zoom Cloud Meetings platform. The writing assistance program attracted 120 participants who joined the program offline and online.
The Chairman of UPPI LPPM UNS, Prof. Dr. Doddy Setiawan, S.E., M.Si., Ph.D., Ak., explained that the program aims to assist faculty members and postgraduate students in writing Scopus-indexed proceedings as they are required to publish works in Scopus.
“We will help the participants who experience difficulties in Scopus,” Prof. Doddy stated.
UPPI is a new unit under the Institute for Research and Community Service (LPPM) UNS, established in 2021 and starting its activities this year. The Chairwoman of LPPM UNS, Prof. Okid Parama Astirin, M.S., highly appreciated UPPI initiative in holding the program. UPPI would greatly help UNS accelerate its international publication as a new unit. Prof. Okid also stated that the program had attracted many participants.
“I think this international publication assistance is vital for faculty members who are required to publish internationally. But it seems that the need is not limited to faculty members but also postgraduate students who are enthusiastic about conducting research and publication,” Prof. Okid stated.
This enthusiasm is an asset for UNS to be developed in increasing its international publication. She also explained that the assistance should not stop with the event but could be focused on small groups. Participants will be assigned a personal assistant for continuous support during their publication process.
Participants received materials from two speakers, Dr. Miftahul Awar, S.Si., M.Eng and Tri Mulyaningsih, S.E., M.Si., Ph.D., in a six hours program. Dr. Miftahul assisted in the natural science write-up, while Tri Mulyaningsih, S.E., M.Si., Ph.D., assisted in the social and humanities tracks. Humas UNS
