Writing scientific papers is the one thing that unites scientists from

every discipline, culture, and

country

HATE

BUT there is no escaping writing up your research !!

Personal reason for publishing a scientific paper

•  …???

Get

funding?

MSc, PhD

de

gree

?

get promoted…?

??

•  However, editors, reviewers, and research community do not consider these reasons when assessing your work.

The three “C”s (C3) principle

• Clarity

• Conciseness (simplicity)

• Correctness (accuracy)

A well-written scientific paper possesses the following three “C”s:

Thus, both the science and the language need to be sound

Can I publish my work ?

Have you done something new and interesting? Have you checked the latest results in the field? Have the findings been verified? Have the appropriate controls been performed? Do your findings tell a nice story or is the story incomplete? Is the work directly related to a current hot topic? Have you provided solutions to any difficult problems?

If all answers are “yes”, then start preparing your manuscript.�

When you are sitting in front of a lab book full of results and a blank computer screen, just getting started if often challenging !!!!

•  First, of course, have a good research results •  Understand the fundamentals of your field of research •  Good manuscript IS NOT a manuscript that is similar

with article written by good scientist à use your creativity

•  Find the meanings behind data •  Find its correlation with research trends in your field, BUT

following research trends is not a must!

•  Plagiasi, yaitu menggunakan data, informasi, atau pendapat dari tempat lain tanpa menyebutkan sumber, harus dihindari.

•  Bahkan data/metode/pendapat sendiri pun, kalau pernah diterbitkan, tidak bisa digunakan kembali tanpa sitasi.

•  Sebagian data dari tulisan kita sebelumnya, tanpa penyebutan sumbernya, disebut self-plagiarism

•  Metode yang pernah kita gunakan, dan pernah diterbitkan, jika digunakan kembali, sebaiknya tidak diuraikan kembali di artikel berikut, melainkan cukup mensitasinya dari artikel sebelumnya.

Pendahuluan

•  Pengelolaan penelitian mencakup: •  Pengelolaan tahapan penelitian •  Pengelolaan informasi yang bersifat khusus •  Pengelolaan informasi ilmiah

•  Salah satu masalah utama: information overload •  Tantangannya adalah bagaimana mengelola informasi

ilmiah agar menjadi bermanfaat •  Zotero merupakan salah satu tools untuk pengelolaan

bibliografi artikel dan dokumen ilmiah lainnya.

Persiapan

•  Download Zotero di http://www.zotero.org. Install. •  Download Zotero Plugin for Word dari alamat yang sama.

Install.

•  Zotero harus bekerja sama dengan Firefox •  Sebetulnya bisa dengan Chrome, dengan menggunakan

kombinasi Zotero Standalone & Zotero Plugin for Chrome •  Tapi menurut pengalaman, Zotero Firefox lebih baik

•  Berhenti men-download, mulai membaca!

Skenario Pengelolaan

•  Tahap Pengumpulan Data dan Informasi •  Kumpulkan data bibliografi lewat http://scholar.google.com

atau cara lainnya. •  Tahap Pengolahan Data yang Terkumpul

•  Lakukan dengan cara abad komputer, bukan abad mesin tik •  Tahap Penulisan Artikel, Buku, dll. •  Tahap Finalisasi Artikel/Buku dengan Pustaka

Mengelola Informasi: Tahap Pengumpulan Data

•  Di Zotero, buat Collection: Inbox, Read, Reference, Someday

•  Di harddisk, buat folders: 1nbox, Analytical Chemistry, Journal of Chemical Education, dll.

•  Cari artikel lewat Science Direct, www.oajsa.com, Google Scholar, dll.

•  Pastikan kursor kita dalam Zotero ada pada Collection: Inbox

•  Klik icon "Paper" (menyimpan data bibliography) •  Download artikelnya, simpan di folder 1nbox

Mengelola Informasi: Tahap Pengolahan Artikel

•  Buka satu-satu artikel di dalam 1nbox SAMPAI HABIS. (Collection Inbox di Zotero, maupun folder 1nbox di komputer)

•  Pindahkan file artikel ke folder "Nama Jurnal", lalu ganti namanya menjadi vol-halaman.pdf

•  Pada saat yang sama: •  Jika artikel tidak menarik, pindahkan data bibliography di Zotero

ke folder Someday. Selesailah urusan dengannya! •  Jika artikel menarik, lakukan langkah berikut

•  Tambahkan keywords (Tags) dan Notes ke data bibliography-nya di Zotero

•  Pindahkan data bibliography ke Collection "Read" dan hapus data itu dari "Inbox”

Mengelola Informasi: Tahap Penulisan Artikel, Dll.

•  Mulai buat draft artikel kita atau skripsi kita dll. •  Pindahkan data artikel yang hendak dirujuk di Zotero dari

Read ke Reference. •  Masukkan (Insert Zotero Citation) artikel dari Zotero

(Reference) ke dalam artikel kita sebagai rujukan. •  Lengkapi Tags dan Notes jika perlu.

Mengelola Informasi: Tahap Penyelesaian Artikel

•  Zotero icons: •  Zotero Insert Citation •  Zotero Edit Citation •  Zotero Insert Bibliography •  Zotero Edit Bibliography •  Zotero Refresh •  Zotero Set Doc Prefs •  Zotero Remove Codes

•  Pindah ke akhir artikel, buat DAFTAR PUSTAKA, pindah ke baris berikutnya, klik "Insert Zotero Bibliography“

Fasilitas Zotero

•  Duplicate items: mengecek adanya data ganda. •  Pengaturan format Daftar Pustaka

Pengelolaan Printed Paper

•  Pengelolaan tempat: •  Current references untuk rujukan artikel yang sedang ditulis •  Current readings untuk artikel, buku, dll. yang sedang dibaca •  Article repository untuk artikel yang disimpan

•  Artikel dalam repositori tidak disimpan berdasarkan penggolongan, tapi berdasarkan nama jurnal (abjad)

•  Bibliografi artikel-artikel itu disimpan di Zotero

Technical Editing Using Words and LaTeX Muhamad A. Martoprawiro

Word Templates & LaTeX

•  Will be demonstrated.
