Dr. Ruchi Gupta presented the seminar in the form of discussions with participants, where 30% was done by delivering material and 70% was done by the participants answering questions given by Dr. Gupta. Participants were also indirectly asked to be active in the event which made the seminar seem more lively and full of discussions between participants and Dr. Gupta.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”14002″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” css=””][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”14003″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” css=””][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”14004″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” css=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]When it comes to the content, Dr. Gupta’s presentation contained quite diverse material on the topic of scientific writing. “Research to Publication is a long procedure with lots of details to guarantee the rewards“, so it is not a problem if we take a long time to publish our research results. Dr. Gupta also explained the importance of the role of logic in writing with the IMRaD format (Introduction, Methodology, Result, and Discussion/Conclusion). In addition, Dr. Gupta also explained the procedure for writing abstracts in the order of Why? What? How? So What? To emphasize the importance of our research in the eyes of other researchers. But again, the purpose of all this is to improve our writing skills, especially for writing final assignments and articles.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”13997″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” css=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]The event ended with a group photo with Dr. Ruchi Gupta who has given her knowledge focused on the logic and procedures of writing in internationally reputable articles. This event was held with the aim of training the academic community for all levels not to be afraid to try writing in reputable articles. The participants were also given the message to keep trying and writing, because only then our ability to write will continue to increase. This activity also reflects that learning is not only done in writing in the classroom. There are some lessons that can only be obtained from experience, whether it is experienced by ourselves or the experiences of others who are told to us. In closing, remember not to be afraid to try, because a million steps always start from one small step.
