Ibu Noralia Purwa Yunita.,M.Pd was the speaker. she is a teacher at SMP NEGERI 8 Semarang.She was actively joining competitions and always a champion in every one of them. We were given her full biography from the shared link: Ibu Noralia's VideoGraphy
Bu Nora wrote and published Chemistry books, she published her first anthology book for Senior High School entitled " Menciptakan Pola pembelajaran efektif dari Rumah", Academic Ekoji Book entitled " Digital Mindset and "Gamifikasi" and plenty of other good books. I should really have one of them. Below is the picture of one of Bu Noralia's bestseller books, You can buy it from BELBUK
The Moderator today is Ibu Aam Nurhasanah and she was also the speaker on the team. Bu Aam opened the class with her typically cheerful style of words choices, and she then welcomed the speaker. The topic today is how to make a book out of a scientific Journal.
The Speaker explained that most of us made a thesis or dissertation only to fulfill the last assignment of our studies, which ended up as one of the campus library's files. She thought that it is a great loss for the world of Science and for our efforts to only have important knowledge left over the corner of a library.
Pointing so deep on how critical it is to let society read our research journals as scientific findings, she explained that every innovation and findings are much more important to the world of science, she then asked the participant How to change your Research Journals into a book There is some transformation to take to start writing the book, they are :
1. Transforming the Journal's Title: Change the title into a research focus. Things to add after are; Tips, Strategies and success idea
2. Transforming Chapter I on Your Journal into Chapter I of a book; that is to lose some details on. Add the methods and general details instead of formulation of the research
3. Chapter II transformed into the original and developed version of theoretical studies.
She then gives samples of a chapter written on a book regarding the title of a journal then divide that into a more general content, therefore, only from chapter I and II of the journal, we have already made several chapters in a book
4. Chapter V is taken from the research results and Discussions.
5. As for diction or choice of words, we need to use different styles to those we made as a report of the research, Use your creativity.
6. Give or explain the research reviews on strength and weakness
7. References may use official Blog Sites such as Kemendikbud
8. Pages for books made out of a journal are at least 70 pages with A5 paper size.
Last but not least she then emphasized that Research journals or thesis will be more beneficial if it is written also in a book version.
There are some benefits we can get in transforming a research journal into a book.
1. More people can read the research
2. It can be for sale.
3. For Government employees (ASN) a book is a credit point and scientific publication.
4. You will definitely get fame too, more people read and buy the book the more fame you'll get
5. Your research will be open source.
After getting a holistic explanation along with the samples of every chapter that we can make, within the process of creating a book out of a research journal. There has never been this full package of tips and explanations in only such a short time.
Wrapping up I would say, that I agree very much with the emphasized note that a journal or research will give so much more benefit towards society if we only make a Book out of it.
Also, the explanation has made it loud and clear that a book can open the world, if you can make a good book especially when you are also a researcher, You can make the world a better place. Today's class has again changed my perspective towards BOOKS, WRITING, and READING.
So, if you are a researcher, make a Book!. Transforming From Scientific Journals To Books is as easy as snapping your fingers. (even I have no idea when I will start with mine 😁)
