This section provides a thoughtful comparison of the challenges and strategies mentioned by Mr. Mu’man and those found in the Cakrawala Pendidikan guidelines. You clearly identify that while both recognize the difficulty of revisions, they focus on different aspects—Mr. Mu’man emphasizes personal challenges such as topic selection and maintaining writing ethics, whereas the journal guidelines highlight technical issues like methodological errors and delayed reviews. This distinction shows good analytical depth. Moreover, your explanation of strategies—using proofreading tools, selecting relevant topics, and reading widely—demonstrates an understanding of how practical efforts can align with academic standards. Overall, this is a well-balanced and insightful analysis.To: Danisya
This is an excellent and comprehensive response. You clearly connect Miss Cynantia’s insights with the IJAL guidelines and sample article, demonstrating strong analytical and critical thinking skills. The discussion about academic honesty, adaptability to journal requirements, and the importance of coherence shows a deep understanding of both ethical and technical dimensions of academic writing. What makes your answer particularly strong is the observation about relevance and current trends, which highlights how good research must also respond to contemporary academic contexts. Overall, this is a well-structured and insightful reflection that integrates theory and practice effectively.To: Haifa
This is a clear and well-organized reflection. You successfully connect Miss Gartika’s advice with the journal standards and show how those ideas are applied in a real article. What stands out is your attention to practical challenges, such as dealing with writer’s block and using tools like Grammarly or Quillbot — a point that highlights a real-world contrast between formal journal rules and actual writing practices. Your conclusion also summarizes key qualities of good writing effectively. Overall, this response shows strong comprehension and thoughtful analysis.To: Mutiara
This is an insightful and well-organized analysis. You effectively identify how Mr. Yana’s perspectives align with journal guidelines, especially in emphasizing coherence, literacy, and ethical writing. What makes your response particularly strong is your attention to the contrast between Mr. Yana’s flexible, process-oriented approach and the journals’ formal, rule-based standards. This observation shows critical understanding of how academic writing involves balancing creativity and compliance. Overall, your synthesis demonstrates depth, clarity, and an excellent grasp of both theoretical and practical aspects of scholarly writing.To SUci:
This is a well-developed and coherent response. You clearly explain how the article reflects Miss Gartika’s advice, particularly in the structure of the introduction and the depth of the discussion section. What makes your answer especially interesting is the observation of a notable difference between the interview data and the article — specifically, Miss Gartika’s emphasis on the writing process (such as the use of AI tools or literature mapping) versus the article’s focus on the final written product. This shows your critical awareness of how academic practices can differ between preparation and publication stages. Well done for identifying this nuanced contrast.To: Mutiara Azni

Thank you for submitting your group’s list of questions. Overall, your questions are well written and show good understanding of each category. However, most of them are still too general and do not invite in-depth discussion based on real experiences.Please revise all the questions in Categories 1–4 and the first question in Category 5 to make them more specific, critical, and experience-based. You may ask questions that explore how or what exactly successful writers or lecturers do in real publication contexts.
Only the following two questions are already strong enough and can be kept as they are:
Category 5, Question 2: How does the discussion section show critical thinking?
Category 5, Question 3: What makes a conclusion meaningful in a research article?
Please revise the rest of your questions so that they are more analytical and focused on real academic writing and publication experiences.

Syeifh Fahma Salsabila (22220097)Thank you for preparing these questions. However, most of them are not very relevant or critical for the upcoming interview session. They focus too much on writers’ personal habits or general writing tips, rather than on meaningful insights about the publication process.
1. What are the main stages from the idea stage to publication in a scientific journal? —— should be specific
2. What strategies can help overcome writer’s block? Unimportant
3. Are there any online platforms that support research article writing and collaboration? Unimportant
4. What tools or platforms can help writers understand journal standards and formats?
5. What are the important sections of a research article in English Language Education? Unimportant, because all section are important
6. How can authors effectively integrate theory and previous studies in their literature review? In literature review or discussion?Please remove or replace these questions with ones that can explore deeper experiences from lecturers or researchers who have successfully published their work. For example:
What are the most common reasons an article is rejected even after revision?
What specific criteria do experienced authors consider when preparing a manuscript for submission?
How do successful writers ensure their article matches the journal’s scope and quality expectations?
Revise your list so the questions can encourage practical and experience-based answers from lecturers with strong publication backgrounds.

2. Nadia Putri Azzahra (22220111)
3. Widya Aulia Octavia (22220089)Thank you for compiling these questions. However, most of them are not very relevant or important
1. How important is peer review or feedback before submitting an article to a journal?

4. How can writers handle time pressure or lack of motivation during the writing process?
5. What mindset should writers have when facing multiple revisions or delays in publication?
6. How can collaboration tools (e.g., Google Docs, Mendeley, Zotero) make the writing process more efficient
7. What institutional supports (e.g., workshops, writing centers) are most beneficial for first-time journal writers?Please remove or replace these questions with more critical ones that address editors’ and reviewers’ real experiences — for example:
What are the most common reasons an article is rejected even after revision?
What specific criteria do editors prioritize when evaluating submissions?
How do editors identify whether an article fits the journal’s scope and quality standards?
Thank you for submitting your questions. However, these questions are not quite strong or relevant enough for the upcoming interview with journal editors or reviewers.
• The question about time management is more related to personal writing habits, not to the publication process.
• The question about rejection or harsh feedback is quite common and does not lead to new or specific insights.
• The question about important parts of a research article is too general and already well known.
• The question “What are the most common mistakes students make in organizing their article structure?” is a good and relevant question. However, it is placed in the wrong category.
• This question should be moved to Category 3 – Challenges, because it focuses on the difficulties or problems writers often face when organizing their articles, rather than on the structure itself.Please create new questions that are more meaningful and focused on the editors’ or reviewers’ professional perspectives — for example, what specific criteria they use when deciding whether to accept or reject an article, or what common weaknesses they often find in submissions.
