Sharing experiences when developing scientific work ideas

Closing
• Writing scientific papers is a skill that needs to be trained and developed
continuously.
• Local regions with its rich culture, nature, biodiversity, and other
uniqueness provides a wide choice of space for research topics.
• Ideas can come from anywhere but need to be tested using critical thinking
and skeptical examination.
• Publication is a process with known steps, details, and requirements. A
high interest can ignite passion and encourage action to write and produce
quality scientific works.
• We need to overcome the emotional blocks that often get in the way of
accomplishing our writing goals.
• Every research and publication is a journey of experience that has its own
dynamics and is not a destination.
20

Let’s hear about your own projects
• Tell us what you are going to research and publish.
• What is the highlight of your research intent and why might readers
be interested in what you report?
• Thus, the introductory sentences are most critical.

“I am very serious about the responsibility of being the fourth woman to win
a Nobel Prize. I hope I can inspire other young women into the field. It's a
field that has a lot of fun, and if you like science, there's a lot to do."
Andrea Ghez (2020) is the fourth woman in history to win the Nobel Prize in Physics after
Marie Curie (1903), Maria Goeppert-Mayer (1963), and Donna Strickland (2018).
