Academic Writing Workshop: Webinar kemenristek/BRIN x AIFIS (Session 1)

-

Couple days ago I joined virtual webinar about academic writing workshop held by BRIN and AIFIS and here what I got.

Frankly, the workshop is interesting and really helpful but unfortunately, I did not fully participate. I had to stop in the middle of the webinar due to the environment situation. 

What do readers want:

  1. answers to questions
  2. followed by questions why and how
  3. researchers starts with questions about facts: who, what, when and where
Peer review:
  1. international refereed journal: double blind
  2. evaluate: content (argument, data, conclusion), contribution to the field 
  3. test for weaknesses and challenge arguments
Writing convention for English:
  1. answer a single research question
  2. generally deductive (general to specific)
  3. science: IMRD (introduction, methodology, result, discussion)
Authors of Indonesian articles tend to:
  1. avoid commenting on work by others writers
  2. hesitate to express their own conclusions
  3. use personal or subjective explanation
  4. rely on passive voice to avoid direct statement
  5. focus on practical applications and include policy suggestion
  6. refer to authority rather than evidence to support argument

example:
  • fact: PAP won 2020 general election in Singapore.
  • covers: who, what, when, where
  • fails to answer : why did PAP win? how did they win?
  • argument: the ruling party won because ... politician of the party is very popular

English language articles tend to be:
  • linear
  • deductive rather than inductive
  • build around an argument drawn from research
  • present data to support and defend argument
  • limit literature review to material needed for the argument

Creating an argument:
  • built around argument
  • starts with facts: wo, what, when, where
  • followed by analysis: why and how
  • strong paper answer analytical questions
  • answer to a question is a claim, or an argument
