1.1 START TO IMPROVE YOUR ENGLISH SKILL
English is absolutely mandatory in writing articles for International Journals. You might find difficulties in this course if you have no competencies in English.
Even though you use Bahasa Indonesia to publish in National Journals but you are highly encouraged to cite references from Reputable International Journals. Your reference-list should be more than 50% cited from Reputable International Journals. Reference is an important part of the scientific article.
However, many of Accredited National Journals (Sinta1 and Sinta2) also required articles formatted in English.
You can use these tools to improve your writing skills while English is not your mother language:
1. Google translate for translation
2. Grammarly for checking grammatical errors
3. Thesaurus for vocabulary enrichment
4. Wordvice for strengthening your writing
5. Writing-center for more tips and tools
