Yogyakarta, Thursday (September 11, 2025) — The Center for Innovation, Intellectual Property, and Research Dissemination at LPPM UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta hosted a Scientific Publication Workshop at the Rectorate Building, featuring Prof. Dr.Eng. Edi Suharyadi from Universitas Gadjah Mada as keynote speaker, moderated by Deddy Rahmadi, M.Sc.

Prof. Edi highlighted that effective scientific writing is grounded in learning by doing and producing research with strong data. He underscored the need to identify research gaps to ensure novelty, calling it the “central issue” of any study. He also stressed integrity in publication, including avoiding plagiarism and double submission, while advising careful selection of journals based on scope, impact factor, quartile, and publication fees. Sharing his personal experience, he noted, “My article was rejected 18 times before it was finally published. Rejection is part of the academic journey.”

The workshop also addressed the distinction between authorship and acknowledgement, emphasizing that only listed authors carry full responsibility for published work. According to Dr. Rika Lusri Virga, S.IP., M.A., Secretary of LPPM, the program is part of UIN Sunan Kalijaga’s broader effort to increase international publications. “This initiative is essential to prepare our faculty for reputable global journals,” she explained.

Dr. Rika further linked the program to the vision of Rector Prof. Noorhaidi Hasan: Empowering Knowledge, Shaping the Future. She noted that international publications are a vital measure of institutional reputation, reinforcing UIN Sunan Kalijaga’s standing in the global academic community. (humassk)
