PSDKU Unpad Lecturer Assists BRIN Researchers in Composing Scientific Articles
Jatinangor, West Java – Fisheries Study Program lecturer and head of Tropical Marine Fisheries Study Program PSDKU Universitas Padjadjaran, Alexander M. A. Khan, provided assistance to research conducted by the National Research and Innovation Agency’s Political Research Center team (PRP BRIN) through Rumah Program Organisasi Riset Ilmu Pengetahuan Sosial Humaniora.
Located at the Grand Tebu Hotel, Bandung, the collaboration was carried out through discussions and consignments. During the discussion and consignment, Alex met directly with the BRIN research team consisting of Anta Maulana, Awani Irewati, Imam Prakoso, and Viga Ananda Wicaksono. This activity received support from various faculties, especially the Faculty of Cultural Sciences as support for the advancement of scientific research.
He said that the BRIN research team conducted a study entitled “Marine Connectivity Model in Sangihe and Talaud Region: Optimization of Integrated Marine and Fisheries Centers to Reduce Illegal Fishing Activities”. The study examines the Dinosaur Area, which is suspected to be an area with a high level of illegal fishing.
Currently, field data collection has been completed by the team. Furthermore, the team intends to publish the results of the research in a scientific journal. In addition, the team is currently in the data processing and drafting stages of the journal. The process of drafting the journal is assisted by Alex’s experience and views on data processing and article drafting.
Fisheries issues in Indonesia, such as the blue economy, the practice of “IUU Fishing”, and measurable fishing policies were discussed in the meeting. In addition, several other things were also discussed, such as discussions on what are the reputable national and international journals in the field of fisheries and marine affairs, the composition of research reports and the steps in submitting manuscripts starting from selecting suitable journals, compiling manuscripts, making manuscript submissions, the peer review process, production, and receiving publications.
Alex said that in publishing in scientific journals, the point is not to rush the publication of articles. You have to make sure many times before sending the article. Also, make sure that the article is in accordance with what you want to convey.
