Foundational Concepts of Scientific Writing
📌 Scientific knowledge is the answer to human curiosity about natural phenomena, acquired through the scientific method.
🔬 The scientific method involves observation, formulating questions, hypothesizing, testing, analyzing data, interpreting results, and finally publishing the findings as scientific papers.
📜 The report or documentation of scientific research is presented in the form of scientific written works (karya tulis ilmiah).

Norms and Language in Scientific Tradition
⭐ Five core norms in the scientific tradition are originality, selflessness, universality, skepticism, and openness to the public.
✍️ In Indonesia, scientific writing must adhere to good and correct Indonesian language to ensure comprehensibility.
🧐 Scientific writing must be clear, specific, and systematic, contrasting with non-scientific writing, which is often vague.

Research Methodology and Approaches
📊 Research bridges facts and theory, involving processes of collecting, processing, analyzing, and concluding data, often utilizing existing theories from previous research.
🔭 Research approaches include quantitative, qualitative, and increasingly, mixed methods (combining quantitative and qualitative).
📚 Quantitative research types include comparative, experimental, associative, correlational, and causal, while qualitative types include phenomenology, ethnography, and Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA).

Structure and Components of Scientific Papers
📑 A scientific paper's structure typically includes preliminary sections (cover page, preface, abstract, table of contents), the core content (Introduction, Theoretical Basis, Discussion, Conclusion/Suggestions), and final supplementary parts (bibliography, appendices).
📝 The abstract is crucial, limited to 200 words, summarizing the background, methodology, findings, and conclusions, and must include keywords.
📖 The introduction (Chapter 1) must minimally contain four paragraphs covering the background of the problem, research objectives, scope, data collection methods, and systematic structure.
📚 Primary sources for references must prioritize textbooks or scientific writings (print or digital), including scientific journals and annual reports, ensuring they have undergone a review or curation process.

Key Points & Insights
➡️ The core purpose of writing a scientific paper is to explain a problem and ultimately solve it.
➡️ Ensure all scientific writings are precise, in-depth, systematic, careful, unemotional, dialogical, and clearly sourced.
➡️ Prioritize reading scientific journals to develop interesting themes and topics for your own writing.
