KMO 7 - Cara Review Jurnal agar Tersusun dengan Baik dan Benar

Summary

This video provides a comprehensive guide for beginner researchers on how to conduct a literature review for academic writing. The speaker emphasizes the importance of reviewing articles to ensure the novelty of research, build the introduction section, and connect findings with previous studies. Step-by-step instructions are given on organizing article reviews in Word, downloading articles from Google Scholar, and extracting key information such as research objectives, methods, and recommendations. The session encourages reviewing at least 15 articles, with an upcoming lesson on grouping and mapping research studies for future reference.

Takeaways

• 😀 The importance of reviewing articles in research: Ensuring that your research hasn’t been done before and identifying gaps in existing studies.
• 😀 Reviewing articles helps build the introduction section of your research paper, specifically covering facts, phenomena, and literature review.
• 😀 A literature review enables researchers to position their work within the context of existing studies, showing how their research adds new insights or challenges previous findings.
• 😀 The review of past articles ensures that your research findings either support, reject, or add to earlier studies in a meaningful way.
• 😀 The first step in reviewing articles is to find relevant journals through platforms like Google Scholar and setting the proper time frame for your search (ideally 5-10 years).
• 😀 Articles should be carefully selected to ensure they are relevant journal articles, not books, theses, or other types of publications.
• 😀 Organizing article information in a structured table can help in organizing the review process: Include columns for article identity, purpose, methodology, findings, and recommendations.
• 😀 The process of reviewing involves summarizing the article's purpose, methods, and findings to assess its contribution to the research field.
• 😀 Using practical tools like Google Scholar, it’s important to set filters to focus on journal articles from the past few years for the most relevant and up-to-date research.
• 😀 It's crucial to download and organize articles properly, renaming them to ensure clarity and avoiding loss of important files during the review process.

Q & A

What is the primary purpose of reviewing research articles in the context of this tutorial?

The primary purpose of reviewing research articles is to ensure that your research has not been conducted previously. If it has, you must identify how your study differs from past research. Additionally, it helps in identifying gaps in literature and forming the foundation for your research introduction and discussion.

How does reviewing articles help in writing the introduction of a research paper?

Reviewing articles helps in identifying the key components of the introduction, such as the phenomenon, the main problem being studied, previous literature, and research objectives. This forms a structured foundation for building the research paper's introduction.

What are the three major goals of reviewing articles as outlined in the script?

The three major goals are: 1) To ensure that the research has not been conducted previously, 2) To provide content for writing the introduction of the research paper, and 3) To link your research findings with past research in the discussion section.

Why is it essential to select only journal articles when reviewing past research?

It is crucial to select only journal articles because they are peer-reviewed and contain scientifically validated data. Articles such as theses, books, or unpublished studies are not suitable for the review process as they may not have undergone proper validation.

What is the significance of identifying the article’s 'identity' in the review process?

Identifying the article’s 'identity' involves gathering key details such as the title, authors, publication date, journal volume, and methodology used. This helps in understanding the context of the research and aids in differentiating between various studies.

How can the search for relevant articles be optimized using Google Scholar?

To optimize the search on Google Scholar, it is recommended to set a time range (typically the last 5-10 years) to ensure up-to-date research. Additionally, filtering for journal articles and excluding other types of publications like books or theses is important to maintain academic rigor.

Why should the 'abstract' be the first section to be reviewed when analyzing an article?

The abstract is crucial because it provides a concise summary of the article, including the research objectives, methods, findings, and conclusions. It is often sufficient for identifying the article's relevance to your research.

What should be done if the research article does not have a clear theory or methodology in the abstract?

If the abstract lacks clear information on theory or methodology, you should refer to the full article, specifically the introduction or methodology sections, to gather the necessary details for your review.

What is the purpose of reviewing multiple articles (e.g., 15 or more) as suggested in the tutorial?

Reviewing multiple articles allows you to map and categorize previous studies, helping you identify trends, gaps, and relevant findings. It also aids in establishing a broader perspective and ensuring that your research contributes something novel.

What are the steps to follow when organizing the content of the reviewed articles?

The steps include: 1) Identifying the article’s identity (title, authors, publication details), 2) Extracting the research objectives, 3) Understanding the theoretical framework, 4) Reviewing the methods used, 5) Analyzing the findings, and 6) Considering the recommendations for future research.
