1.Yes, I have studied it.
2.a.In my opinion, the interview results are quite consistent with the journal guidelines. Both emphasize that a scientific article must have a clear structure, such as introduction, method, results, and discussion. In addition, the use of valid data, proper citations, and academic language is also important. The difference is that the interviews discussed real experiences such as repeated revisions, waiting for reviewers, and difficulty managing time. Meanwhile, journal guidelines focus more on technical rules, such as writing format, word count, and journal templates.
b.The sample articles show that scientific writing must be concise, clear, and well-structured. The title is not too long, the abstract goes directly to the main point, and the discussion is organized logically. This is in line with the interview results that mentioned the importance of clarity and systematic writing.
In addition, the use of APA Style and applications such as Mendeley shows the importance of neat citations and professional writing.c.Some challenges from the interviews are also addressed in the journal guidelines. For example, citation problems are helped by reference rules and reference management tools. Difficulties in explaining data are solved through tables and figures. Problems with article length are helped by dividing proportions for each section of the article.
3.Similarities: In my opinion, the interview results, journal guidelines, and sample articles all emphasize that good scientific writing must have a clear structure, valid data, academic language, and proper citations.
Differences: Journal guidelines focus more on technical rules such as format and templates, while interviews discuss real experiences such as revisions, time management, and writing difficulties. Sample articles show the final polished result.
Patterns: The common pattern is that high-quality scientific writing needs strong ideas, clear methods, systematic writing, and a serious revision process to meet academic standards.Name: Laili Humairoh
1.In my opinion, based on what I learned from the interview and other groups results, the process of writing a scientific article starts from choosing a topic, doing research, writing according to the journal format, and then submitting the article. After that, the article will go through review, revision, and the final decision of being accepted or rejected. The common pattern I noticed is that this process is quite long, and revision is a normal part of it.
2.In my opinion, a high-quality scientific article should have a new topic (novelty), valid data, clear writing, and useful discussion. The challenges often faced by authors are finding ideas, managing time, writing in academic language, and dealing with revisions from reviewers. This pattern was also found in many other groups.
3.In my opinion, authors need access to journals, the internet, reference tools such as Mendeley, and guidance from lecturers or mentors. The article structure must also be clear and follow journal rules. The common pattern I noticed from other groups is that authors need support from their environment and proper facilities so the writing process can run smoothly.
1. I read a journal article titled “Students’ Perceptions of the Use of Digital Media in English Language Learning.” I read this article recently for my class. I opened it from the google scholar web. The article talks about how students use digital media like YouTube, WhatsApp, and Google Classroom to learn English. When I read it, I felt interested because I also use digital media to study.
2. This experience was memorable because the topic is relevant to me as a student. But it was also challenging because the language is formal, there are many difficult words and the sentences are long. So, I needed to read slowly and read again and again.
3. The most difficult part for me is the introduction. Because it is the beginning of the article, I am still confused about the topic, there are many ideas in one part. So, it is not easy to understand at first.
4. Reading journal articles helps me, learn new vocabulary, learn how to write with good structure and learn how to explain ideas clearly. It really help me to improve.
