Worksheet 2.1 – Insight from interview data

After reviewing and comparing your findings with those of other groups, discuss the following questions:

1. What are your findings about the process of writing and submitting a scientific article? What common patterns can you identify when compared with other groups’ findings?
2. Based on your interview results, what are the characteristics of a high-quality scientific article and the challenges authors often face? What common patterns can you identify when compared with other groups’ findings?
3. From your experience interviewing the respondent, what understanding did you gain about the resources, support, or structural components that are important in writing a scientific article? What common patterns can you identify when compared with other groups’ findings?

1. The results of the interview with Miss Gartika are very much in line with the guidelines of the IJAL and Cakrawala Pendidikan. Both the interview results and the journal guidelines emphasize the importance of writing according to a clear structure, IMRaD (Introduction, Method, Results, and Discussion). Miss Gartika explained that before starting to write, a researcher should first identify a research gap by reading many previous studies through platforms like Google Scholar and Elicit. This insight aligns with the journal guideline that requires writers to present the background of the problem, the research gap, and end with a statement of the research objective or focus of the study. In addition, novelty is also a determining factor in the quality of an article. This is also emphasized in the Cakrawala Pendidikan journal guidelines, which require to display of research novelty and useful innovations.

2. The sample article I analyzed, “BIPA teachers’ perspectives on Digital Game-Based Language Learning (DGBLL): Attitudes, benefits and challenges in teaching Indonesian as a foreign language”, reflects the same principles that Miss Gartika mentioned. For example, the Introduction of the article presents the background, the gap, and the research objectives. Additionally, the article adheres to the IMRaD format. The discussion section also links the findings to relevant theories, which matches Miss Gartika’s statement that writers must deeply understand theoretical relationships among variables.

3. Yes, several challenges mentioned by Miss Gartika are reflected in both the Cakrawala Pendidikan author guidelines and the sample article “BIPA teachers’ perspectives on Digital Game-Based Language Learning (DGBLL): Attitudes, benefits and challenges in teaching Indonesian as a foreign language”. Challenges she mentioned were writer’s block, which often leads to high plagiarism scores. The guidelines for the similarity index for plagiarism check are pegged at 20%. Miss Gartika also mentioned the challenge in designing or adapting research instruments for topics that have not been widely studied. The sample article “BIPA teachers’ perspectives on Digital Game-Based Language Learning (DGBLL): Attitudes, benefits and challenges in teaching Indonesian as a foreign language” demonstrates how writers explain the instrument validation and reliability testing process in the Methodology section. Another challenge Miss Gartika mentioned is choosing a topic that the writer truly master.

4. Based on the comparison between the interview insights, journal guidelines, and the sample article, I found that high-quality scientific writing shares several important characteristics. Both Miss Gartika and the journals emphasize novelty and structure in writing. A good article should follow the IMRaD format, have a research topic problem. The main difference is that journal guidelines emphasize writing format, while the interview highlights about process of writing, the challenges of writing, and the tools that can help in the process of writing.
From this, I conclude that a high-quality research article must combine the following format (IMRaD) with rhetorical movement.

The results of the interview with Miss Gartika
In general, the interview results emphasize the importance of having a clear flow of ideas and a well-organized structure in scientific writing. Both the researchers and the interviewees agreed that the main difficulties in writing lie in developing ideas, using correct grammar, and choosing appropriate words. In addition, good scientific writing should be able to answer research questions, use sufficient data, and be easily understood by readers.

From the interview results, several effective writing strategies can be concluded, such as the importance of creating an outline or mind map before writing, using natural and clear academic language, and ensuring that the data used truly support the research objectives.

Overall, high-quality scientific writing has several key characteristics: ideas that are logically and coherently arranged, a structure that follows the journal’s template, the use of accurate academic language, and content supported by sufficient data and easily understood by readers.
