 BAB I
PENDAHULUAN

A. Latar Belakang
Pendidikan tinggi merupakan lembaga yang memproduksi
lulusan yang mempunyai sikap kecendekiawanan. Sikap
kecendekiawanan tersebut meliputi sikap sebagai penemu, pemadu,
penerap, serta sebagai pengembang IPTEKS. Untuk itu, mahasiswa yang
merupakan salah satu kelompok masyarakat ilmiah harus mempunyai ciri
kehidupan akademis yang dinamis. Kedinamisan hidup mahasiswa
terefleksi dalam perilaku dan pola pikir yang kritis, kreatif, inovatif, serta
produktif terhadap fenomena kehidupan kampus dan lingkungan di
sekitarnya. Perilaku dan pola pikir tersebut diapresiasikan dalam bentuk
kegiatan ilmiah, sehingga kegiatan itu perlu untuk dibina, dikembangkan,
serta dilejitkan agar mahasiswa mempunyai potensi akademik yang
unggul dan handal sehingga mampu dan siap untuk berkompetisi di
masyarakat.
Kualitas kegiatan ilmiah mahasiswa harus ditingkatan secara
optimal dan terus-menerus sehingga perlu memperoleh dukungan dari
berbagai pihak. Berdasarkan hal ini, upaya dan langkah nyata dalam
bentuk pengayaan wawasan ilmiah, kontinyuitas pembinaan budaya
akademik, peningkatan dan pengembangan yang berkelanjutan, serta
komitmen berkarya dan berprestasi ilmiah perlu disadari dan dilakukan

G.2. Written Preparation

Title.
The title describes the subject matter of the article and should be
appropriate for the intended reader. It should be sufficiently specific to
convey the contents of the paper, but not so technical that only specialists
will understand. On the title page, only the title of the paper should appear.
The title should consist of the minimum number of key words necessary to
portray accurately the contents of the paper.

Abstract
The summary should be two hundred and fifty words or less. An abstract
is a concise single paragraph summary of completed work or work in
progress. In a minute or less a reader can learn the rationale behind the
study, general approach to the problem, pertinent results, and important
conclusions or new questions. Summarize the study, including the following
elements in any abstract. Try to keep the first two items to no more than
one sentence each.
• Purpose of the study - hypothesis, overall question, objective
• Model organism or system and brief description of the experiment
• Results, including specific data - if the results are quantitative in
nature, report quantitative data; results of any data or any qualitative
information as a results of a series analysis should be reported
• Important conclusions or questions that follow from the article

Style:
• Single paragraph, 12 pts Times New Romans,
• As a summary of work done, concise and is written in past tense
• An abstract should stand on its own, and not refer to any other part
of the paper such as a figure or table
• Focus on summarizing results - limit background information to a
sentence or two, if absolutely necessary
• What you report in an abstract must be consistent with what you
reported in the paper
• Correct spelling, clarity of sentences and phrases, and proper
reporting of quantities (proper units, significant figures) are just as
important in an abstract as they are anywhere else

Key words
Three or four words, performing the key points of the article

16
Introduction
The main text of a scientific paper should begin with an introduction
that explains the motivation or objective for conducting the research. The
introduction should be organized to move from general information to more
specific information. It should summarize the relevant literature so that the
reader will understand why the topic is of interest or importance, and
therefore, worthy of investigation. The results and conclusions of previously
published studies should be succinctly summarized as background and
support, but should not be itemized. Introductions should not exceed two
pages (double spaced, typed). See the examples in the writing portfolio
package.
The purpose of an introduction is to acquaint the reader with the
rationale behind the work, with the intention of defending it. It places your
work in a theoretical context, and enables the reader to understand and
appreciate objectives of the article. When abstract is the only text in a
research paper to be written without using paragraphs in order to separate
major points, Introduction approaches vary widely reasoning as follows:
• Describe the importance (significance) of the study - why was this
worth doing in the first place? Provide a broad context.
• Defend the model - why did you use this particular organism or
system? What are its advantages? You might comment on its
suitability from a theoretical point of view as well as indicate practical
reasons for using it.
• Provide a rationale. State your specific hypothesis(es) or objective(s),
and describe the reasoning that led you to select them.
• Very briefy describe the experimental design and how it accomplished
the stated objectives.
Style:
• Times New Romans 12 pts, 1,5 paragraph
• Use past tense except when referring to established facts.
• Organize you’re the ideas, making one major point with each
paragraph. If you make the four points of idea, then you will need a
minimum of four paragraphs.
• Present background information only as needed in order support a
position. The reader does not want to read everything you know
about a subject.
• State the hypothesis/objective precisely - do not oversimplify.
• As always, pay attention to spelling, clarity and appropriateness of
sentences and phrases.

Materials and Methods

Methodological details applied to accomplish the objectives should be
provided in this section. It should contain all necessary information to allow
other scientists to repeat the study or experiment. It is reasonable to

17
assume that other scientists have the basic knowledge and skills required of
the study or analysis, but they will need to know the specific details in order
to repeat or critique the study. There is no specific page limit, but a key
concept is to keep this section as concise as you possibly can. People will
want to read this material selectively. The reader may only be interested in
one formula or part of a procedure.

Materials:
• Describe materials separately only if the study is so complicated that
it saves space this way.
• Describe any empirical or real facts conditions that inspiring you to
write up the articles
• Describe any literature, journal, textbook, reports or other scientific
documents that were used to develop ideas or analysis in
constructing the articles.
• Explore any data, facts or other phenomenon that you think the
conditions would be solved using a scientific approach, as you write in
the article.

Methods:
• Describe all technique you employ in order to explore the conditions,
the consequence of the conditions, both in the short or long run
• Describe the technique you select to analyse the conditions or to
develop your arguments and in concluding all facts of your analysis
• Explain the any reason you select the technique of analysis, if you
think it would relevant with the results of the analysis.
Style:
• Times New Romans 12 pts, 1,5 paragraph
• Use past tense except when referring to established facts.
• It is awkward or impossible to use active voice when documenting
methods without using first person, which would focus the reader's
attention on the investigator rather than the work. Therefore when
writing up the methods most authors use third person passive voice.
• Use normal prose in this and in every other section of the paper –
avoid informal lists, and use complete sentences.
• Materials and methods are not a set of instructions.
• Omit all explanatory information and background - save it for the
discussion.
• Omit information that is irrelevant to a third party, such as what color
ice bucket you used, or which individual logged in the data.

Results
This section presents the results obtained using summary tables and
figures, but not the raw data collected. It is better to show the data in a

18
table unless there is visual information that can be gained by using a figure
or other information, that you are going to explore in the idea of your
articles. Each table, figure, or other informations should stand alone and be
accompanied by a text legend (or caption) that explains the information that
is being shown. Please put the author of any information or data that you
cite or you explore, as the results of your studies.

It should be clear but concise without a need for the reader to examine
the text for the basic information conveyed. The principal findings should be
described in the text, referring to the tables and figures, where readers can
see the details for themselves. Do not attempt to discuss or evaluate the
results; this belongs in the Discussion section.

• The page length of this section is set by the amount and types of
data to be reported. Continue to be concise, using figures and tables,
if appropriate, to present results most effectively. See
recommendations for content. The purpose of a results section is to
present and illustrate your findings. Make this section a completely
objective report of the results, and
Style
• As always, use past tense when you refer to your results, and put
everything in a logical order.
• In text, refer to each figure as "figure 1," "figure 2," etc. ; number
your tables as well as the table of qualitative information. Please
always note the author that you cite.
• Place figures and tables, properly numbered, in order at the end of
the report. If you prefer, you may place your figures and tables
appropriately within the text of your results section.
• Make sure that all table or figures, whether it is quantitative or
qualitative are not you single research findings, but a series of
research.

Discussion
The function of the Discussion is to interpret the results in light of
what is already known about the subject of the investigation from other
published results. Results should be discussed in the same sequence as
presented. It should explain what the results mean, and relate them back to
the objectives presented in the Introduction. It should assess how the
results fit into the big picture by integrating all the evidence, including
previous work and the current research, for any new understanding of the
problem. Both positive and negative results should be explained and may
represent something important—adding to the accumulated knowledge of
the field or perhaps suggesting a new or changed focus or methodology for
the research.

19
The objective of discussion is to provide an interpretation of your results and
support for all of your conclusions, using evidence from your experiment and
generally accepted knowledge, if appropriate. The significance of findings
should be clearly described.
Interpret your findings or review in the discussion in appropriate
depth. This means that when you explain a phenomenon you must describe
mechanisms that may account for the observation. If your results differ from
your expectations, explain why that may have happened. If your results
agree, then describe the theory that the evidence supported. It is never
appropriate to simply state that the data agreed with expectations, and let it
drop at that.
• Decide if each hypothesis is supported, rejected, or if you cannot
make a decision with confidence. Do not simply dismiss a study or
part of a study as "inconclusive."
• Research papers are not accepted if the work is incomplete. Draw
what conclusions you can based upon the results that you have, and
treat the study as a finished work
• You may suggest future directions, such as how the experiment might
be modified to accomplish another objective.
• Explain all of your observations as much as possible, focusing on
mechanisms.
• Decide if the experimental design adequately addressed the
hypothesis, and whether or not it was properly controlled.
• Try to offer alternative explanations if reasonable alternatives exist.
• One experiment will not answer an overall question, so keeping the
big picture in mind, where do you go next? The best studies open up
new avenues of research. What questions remain?
• Recommendations for specific papers will provide additional
suggestions.
Style:
• When you refer to information, distinguish data generated by your
own studies from published information or from information obtained
from other students (verb tense is an important tool for
accomplishing that purpose).
• Refer to work done by specific individuals (including yourself) in past
tense.
• Refer to generally accepted facts and principles in present tense.

Conclusion.
This section should simply be a few sentences that summarize the
most significant results and conclusions the data support; refrain from
making statements that are too broad and do not offer any reasons for the
conclusions. Also, it should not just repeat what is written in the Results and

20
Discussion sections. In fact, it can be combined with the Discussion section,
by ending it with a conclusion.

Literature Cited
Please note that in the introductory laboratory course, you will not be
required to properly document sources of all of your information. One
reason is that your major source of information is this website, and websites
are inappropriate as primary sources. Second, it is problematic to provide a
hundred students with equal access to potential reference materials. You
may nevertheless find outside sources, and you should cite any articles that
the instructor provides or that you find for yourself.
List all literature cited in your paper, in alphabetical order, by first
author. In a proper research paper, only primary literature is used (original
research articles authored by the original investigators). Be cautious about
using web sites as references - anyone can put just about anything on a
web site, and you have no sure way of knowing if it is truth or fiction. If you
are citing an on line journal, use the journal citation (name, volume, year,
page numbers). Some of your papers may not require references, and if that
is the case simply state that "no references were consulted."

G.2.b. Judging Criteria
