The Use of English Relative Clauses by Indonesian Authors: A Case Study in Business, Engineering, and Science Journal Articles

The ability to effectively use relative clauses is pivotal in English journal articles, as it allows authors the flexibility to modify various noun phrases within sentences to convey clearer and more precise writing. This research explores the strategies employed by Indonesian authors from three distinct disciplines - business, engineering, and science. To accomplish this, we analyzed thirty papers published in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Makara Journal of Science, and Gadjahmada International Journal of Business. In total, 1453 relative clauses were collected and analyzed. A cross-classification analysis was performed to examine the distribution of relative clauses. The findings of the study indicate a preference among Indonesian writers to use non-reduced relative clauses, specifically those that serve as restrictive modifiers for objects. We also observe that the past participle is employed with greater frequency than the present participle. The results reveal that Indonesian authors prefer non-reduced relative clauses over reduced ones, opt for restrictive clauses over non-restrictive ones, and consistently favor relativizing the subject (S-form) in their relative clauses over the object (O-form). Our results also show that the choice of relative clauses is subject-specific, influenced by the distinct communicative requirements and preferences within each field. Our examination of relative clauses has provided insights into the syntactic choices, including their reduction status, restrictiveness, the use of participles, connectors, and the syntactic category modified by the clause.

The Rhetorical Model of Indonesian Research Article Introductions (RAIs) in the Law Discipline: Problems and Opportunities

The issue of internationalizing academic works into English Scopus-indexed journals has been becoming a growing concern in Indonesia in the last few years. However, investigating rhetorical models of local research articles is still very limited in the Indonesian context to date, while finding this foundation that underpins the global issue may overcome and create awareness for Indonesian academics for the likelihood of publishing their academic papers into reputable journals. This paper attempted to investigate the rhetorical model of Indonesian Law RAIs because none has investigated it in this selected discipline. The purpose is to discover whether or not it is different from earlier findings in English and Indonesian models. The data in the present study are 15 Indonesian Law RAIs published in accredited Science and Technology Index journals (SINTA 2). For the analysis, the study employed a genre-based study using two rhetorical models as primary code analysis. The results revealed that the Indonesian Law RAIs in the present study have a different rhetorical model from the English model, the CARS model. The main difference is the ways of establishing a niche. This finding implies that it may become an obstacle for Indonesian authors in this discipline, on the one hand, but may become an opportunity for them to publish their academic works in reputable journals, on the other hand.

Literature survey and analysis of phytoremediation strategies for Cs-137 decontamination

Phytoremediation has become a sustainable solution for mitigating cesium-137 (Cs-137) contamination and has been implemented in areas affected by the Chernobyl and Fukushima nuclear disasters. Despite the absence of nuclear power plants in Indonesia, incidents of Cs-137 contamination have been reported in Batan Indah Housing Complex, emphasizing the need for effective decontamination techniques. The aim of this study was to analyze the bibliometric characteristics of research works on phytoremediation in addressing Cs-137 contamination during the last ten years (2013–2022) by foreign and Indonesian authors. This research is important both globally and in specific contexts, such as Indonesia, particularly in the context of policy and practical applications. For example, when facing issues like Cs-137 decontamination in the BATAN Indah area, the research can have local relevance and contribute to solving immediate problems. This study utilized the Scopus database and retrieved 2,123 article titles within this topic over the last decade. Several indicators were used to examine the publications: productivity of authors, collaboration between countries, top-cited articles, keywords analysis, and publication trends. The results show that the number of publications fluctuated over previous decade with an average publications age of 5.54 years. Onda Y from the University of Tsukuba, Tsukuba, Japan become the most prolific and collaborative author. Japan being the most productive and collaborative country, while Indonesia ranked 42nd with only 9 publications regarding the topics. The bibliometric analysis provides a foundation for understanding the development of science on this topic and uncovers that there is still plenty of space to conduct phytoremediation research in Indonesia, especially for Cs-137 contaminated soils, which have increased over the years.

Authorial Presence in English Research Articles in Medicine Written by American and Indonesian Authors

The present research attempts to investigate authorial presence in English research articles in medicine written by American and Indonesian authors. In doing so, the study first attempts to describe first-person pronouns used to express authorial presence. Secondly, the research aims to examine the discourse functions of first-person pronouns in the research articles. Data for the present research were taken from 20 English research articles in medicine, consisting of 10 articles published in CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians (Wiley) and 10 in Medical Journal of Indonesia. A corpus of 81,657 words was analyzed with the help of a concordance program, WordSmith Tools 5.0 (Scott, 2008), to identify the occurrences of first-person pronouns used in research articles. A qualitative analysis was also conducted to examine the discourse functions of each first-person pronoun using the classification proposed by Filimonova (2005) and Tang and John (1999). Hopefully, the present research findings could indicate the intention of authorial presence in academic writing, specifically in medical research articles. The findings also contribute to investigating the difference between American and Indonesian authors in presenting themselves in academic writing.

Three-Dimensional Representations of Children's Songs and Its Implementation in Character Education

This research aims to describe the aesthetic pattern and meaning of songs children created by Indonesian authors from the 60s to 70s. The songs it is very familiar and frequently sung by children of their time. The spread of children's songs at that time only through radio and electronic television media, which was still very rare and owned by the people of Indonesia at that time. In this digital age, the spread of children's songs conducted through digital media is very fast, good in audio and audio-visual form. The development of technology makes it convenient for children to recognise songs. The second aim is to describe the meaning of character education in three dimensions: the connection between man with God, man with humans, and humans with nature. This study use theory focused on eco-strategy analysis problem environment existing life in literary works. Next, the meaning of three dimensions could be implemented in character education for students in kindergarten and elementary schools.

BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS AND VISUALIZATION OF BOOTSTRAPPING STRATEGY ARTICLES BY INDONESIAN AUTHORS

This research aims to analyze bibliometric characteristics and trends of crowdfunding bootstrapping strategy articles indexed by Indonesian authors. Information was extracted from the Google Scholar database. The study employed bootstrapping and its variations as search terms, with Indonesian author affiliations considered. Simple statistical techniques were applied, and VOS Viewer software was utilized for bibliometric analysis. In this study, patterns of keyword co-occurrence, document citations, citation relationships, and bibliographic coupling were visualized. The results indicate that the main trend in current startup research is the adoption of bootstrapping strategy, particularly network-based bootstrapping, due to its ability to support startup growth without relying on external funding but rather on a network.

COMPARATIVE STUDY: RHETORICAL MOVES OF RESEARCH ARTICLE ABSTRACTS WRITTEN BY AMERICAN AND INDONESIAN AUTHORS

Research in Research Article (RA) abstract written by native English authors has been widely conducted. Yet, a comparison of RA abstracts written by American authors and Indonesian authors has not been conducted. This paper reports a study on the analysis of research article abstracts written by American and Indonesian authors published in two reputable journals. Data presented are move sequences of 20 Research Article (RA) abstracts from the latest six years issue (2021-2016). The abstracts were selected from a particular discipline, English language teaching and learning, to control the variability. The findings reveal that the salient move sequences of two groups have reflected the stipulated framework of the rhetorical abstracts. The American authors and Indonesian authors complete the moves occasionally within 3 units, 4 units, or 5 units. The similarity and differences of expressions used in writing abstracts in each move have been detected. The article concludes by highlighting the status of Indonesian authors in writing the RA abstracts compared to the native English authors.

A Comparative Move Analysis of Low and High-Impact Social Science Scopus Journal Articles Written by Reputable Indonesian Authors

Producing research articles requires clearly, logically, rationally, and empirically substantiating complicated ideas. Regarding that, many professors struggle to have their articles published in highly regarded publications and require references; for instance, the rhetorical move pattern. Many studies have analyzed the rhetorical structure of articles, but few have investigated the rhetorical move of the research articles produced by lecturers by specifically comparing their publications in high-impact versus low-impact Scopus-indexed journals. Using a descriptive-comparative qualitative design, this study seeks to investigate the moves of low-impact and high-impact articles of the two social humanities lecturers of a state university in Indonesia. Eight articles were analyzed through the move framework proposed by Maswana (2015). The results revealed that the rhetorical moves from each section were organized with significant conformities and minor non-conformities.Especially, the authorsemphasized the goals, procedures, and outcomes of the publications in the abstract section. Furthermore, the writers provided references to the existing literature and the goal of the research to assist the reader in understanding the theory applied in the papers. On the other hand, deviations from the norm are displayed in the methodology section due to variations in how the study was conducted, particularly the data processing phase. The authors’ attention to conveying the research’s specific findings and their significance was in the findings and discussion section. The results of this study can be used as a reference for Indonesian researchers who are striving to publish papers in international journals toward a more visible and impactful publication.

Marketization Strategy in Research Article Introductions by Indonesian Authors in English Language Education Journals

Writers should attract readers’ attention to read their work from the very beginning of their article; this can be done by addressing a centrality claim (henceforth CC). However, very few studies examining research article introductions (henceforth RAI) examined further how authors attract readers to the importance of the research topic. This study aimed at investigating the types of CCs used in the RAIs published in local journals in English Language Education (henceforth ELE) with different Sinta values. Forty articles were chosen from four national accredited journals in LE for this study. The results showed that the most frequent appeals found in the RAIs are appeals to salience followed by appeals to problematicity and appeals to magnitude. This is reasonable because a piece of research should be on an important topic, because of a practical problem on a popular topic to attract readers to read the entire article. Also, although the difference is not significant the higher the Sinta value of a journal the higher the frequency of different appeals used by the authors in the introduction of the articles published in the journal. This suggests that to improve the attractiveness of an article, authors should use several different types of appeals in their RAIs.

Big Data Utilization on Tourism Marketing in Post-Pandemic Recovery Ear: Future Prospect for Indonesia

Along with the behaviour changes toward digitalisation in the pandemic, reliable data to manage tourism marketing in Indonesia is needed. The study objectives are to go into detail on the application of big data and identify what kind of data is necessary for tourism marketing based on the previous research. Most studies about big data on tourism marketing come from overseas, with only a few from Indonesian authors. Questions were raised on what big data is used in tourism marketing and what data is needed, mainly for Indonesia. The use of big data and the kind of data for the benefit of tourism marketing in this study has yet to be discovered. The study adopted SLR with the PRISMA approach and continued with bibliometric analysis using VOS Viewers based on keywords and co-occurrence. Scopus is a database source, and 105 articles published from 2002 to 2022 are found. There are six clusters from plotting extensive data application networks. Two forms of big data can be gained to foresee tourism marketing in post-pandemic recovery. The utilisation cluster is the consumer behaviour research, technology operation, social media, future prediction based on network sentiment analysis, and innovation in smart tourism. Data from the tourism industry and non-tourism sector can be utilised. The study implied combining both the tourism and non-tourism sectors as integrated big data in tourism marketing for decision-making in the future.
 Keywords— big data; marketing; non-tourism; tourism; utilization

Translation Studies Research Orientation of S1 & S2 Sinta-indexed Journal Publications

Abstract. This descriptive qualitative research examines the distribution of translation studies of Sinta-indexed journals (S1 and S2) through a dataset of 19 journals and 60 articles. The objective of this article is to offer a clear depiction of the current direction that research is taking within the field of translation. The empirical results derived from the study demonstrate a discernibly higher frequency of S2 journals in comparison to their S1 counterparts. This observed disparity can reasonably be attributed to the divergent criteria employed in the classification of these journals as well as the ongoing progress and expansion of the journal landscape. S1 journals exhibit a greater inclination toward prioritizing applied translation studies, whereas both categories demonstrate a prevailing prevalence of research centered around pure translation, thereby suggesting a possible imperative to advance the deployment of research with applied orientations. The results of this study demonstrate a prevalence of the qualitative methodology in translation studies across both S1 and S2 journals. Quantitative research is notably infrequent, constituting a minority fraction of the publications, whereas mixed-method approaches are also limited but present to some extent. Collaborative efforts are observed in S1 publications, with larger-scale projects, whereas S2 publications involve smaller, collaborative teams. Foreign researchers contribute more to S1, while S2 showcases predominantly Indonesian authors, but both display international collaboration. Thus, encouraging more applied translation research and industry collaboration can enhance the practical impact of translation studies. The above findings are significant not only for scholars engaged in translation studies but also for journal editors when making editorial judgments.Keywords: Translation Studies, Research Orientation, Sinta 1, Sinta 2

PRAGMATICS TEACHING BARRIERS IN EFL CLASSROOM

Pragmatics is a branch of linguistics that study about language and its context. In learning a second language, EFL learners need to have a pragmatic competence in order to be able to communicate effectively based on the context of the target language. There are some factors that can help learners improve their pragmatic competence, not only the EFL teachers who are competent in their field but also the tools and media that support the learning process. This study aimed to investigate (1) what the most common barriers to teaching pragmatics in EFL classrooms by Indonesian EFL teachers and (2) how pragmatic norms is provided in textbooks by the Indonesian authors. Qualitative used as the research methodology in this study. The participants of this study were 15 Indonesian EFL teachers from different schools -- junior and senior high schools. The writer used questionnaire as the instrument research. The participants were given questionnaires to find out what exactly the barriers found to teaching pragmatics in EFL classroom. English textbooks used in junior and senior high school written by Indonesian authors were also analyzed by the researcher. This study came up with the findings that (1) there are six common barriers to teaching pragmatics in EFL classroom by Indonesian EFL teachers and (2) most of the ELT textbooks do not consider the pragmatic norm in its content. Given the significance of students' pragmatic abilities, EFL teachers need to keep improving their research of teaching pragmatics in order to help EFL learners in developing their pragmatic competence.

Research Article Introductions in Applied Linguistics: A Comparative Study on the Use of Appeals

Introduction: Although extensive studies have been carried out on the rhetorical structure of research article introduction (RAI), centrality as a promotional strategy has received very little attention.
 Purpose: To address this lacuna in research literature, this study investigates centrality claims and how the appeals are realized strategically and linguistically.
 Materials and Methods: 60 RAIs from three-corpora, i.e., 20 English L1 corpus (written by native authors in English), 20 English FL Corpus (written by Indonesian authors in English), and 20 Indonesian L1 corpus (written by Indonesian authors in Indonesian Language), in the field of applied linguistics (AL) were analyzed. The analysis started from the step of claiming centrality found in the authors’ RAIs using the Swales’ (1990) framework. Wang and Yang’s (2015) framework was used to identify the types of appeals in the claiming centrality.
 Results: This study indicates that the three groups of authors use four types of appeals, namely the appeal to salience, magnitude, topicality, and problematicity. The appeals appear in varied ways, i.e., referring to the research world and the real world. Although application of each appeal in the step of claiming centrality is relatively different in the three groups, some share similarities in using the appeals in terms of referring to the research world and the real world.
 Conclusion: This study provides pedagogical implications for teaching academic writing, particularly in writing research articles for publication.

Focus of Research on Leadership in Islamic Education: Bibliometric Analysis

Leadership is not only about ordering or giving instructions but also involves motivating, inspiring, and influencing others to achieve common goals. Leadership can occur in a variety of fields, including business, politics, and education, and plays a critical role in the success of an organization or community. This research aims to identify publications related to leadership in Islamic education and describe the characteristics of this research. The bibliometric analysis method was used in this study. The research results show that publications about leadership in Islamic schools have increased yearly from 2019 to 2023—meanwhile, the largest number of documents come from Indonesian authors. Proceedings of the ICECRS hold the top position as an institution or publisher with the most four documents. In contrast, the author with the most citations is Firman-Mansir, with a total of 3 published documents and eight citations, followed by the writer Eugenie A Samier with a total of 3 and 5 citations of published papers and followed by writer Fitriyah with a total of 3 published documents and two citations. Keywords that appear a lot in joint events are Education, Islam, Institution, Approach, Leader, Development, Activity, Quality, Teacher and Problem. The new theme keywords are Strategy, Community, Skill, Creativity, Facility, Decision, Generation, Innovation, and Prophetic Leadership. Therefore, these new themes can become new material for further research that addresses this field.

Trends of research topics related to Halal meat as a commodity between Scopus and Web of Science: A systematic review

Background: People are more aware of halal products in commodity markets. Halal meat is an essential commodity for society in the Islamic commodity market in particular. The objective of this study was to analyze differences in research trends related to halal meat in published papers indexed by Scopus and Web of Science. The objective is to observe how was halal meat as commodity become the trend of research written by Indonesian authors, as well as what was the novelty of the research trend related to such tiopic. Methods: This study used purposive sampling with a bibliometric approach in collecting the samples. The samples were published papers from the Scopus and Web of Science (SCI) databases from 2006 to 25th October 2021. The were 154 samples found from cSopus and 50 samples in Web of Science (SCI). Analysis was performed by VOSviewer and biblioshiny. Results: Overall, 154 papers from Scopus and 50 from SCI were analyzed. Scopus and SCI exhibited different research trends. Moreover, papers from Scopus were dominated by Indonesian authors; those from SCI were not. The source growth of published papers in SCI was more dynamic than that in Scopus. The research trends in papers from SCI were more focused on the types of meat and the source itself. This was different to papers in Scopus, which placed greater emphasis on the supply chain. Conclusions: This paper can act as a reference for continued research into halal meat in commodity markets, especially in Islamic countries. This paper is the first to compare the research trends in halal meat in the commodity market by comparing the differences in two major indexes, Scopus and SCI.

Citation studies in English vs. Indonesian research article introductions (RAIs) in the history discipline

Citation studies in research articles (RAs) have been widely conducted worldwide, but such studies rarely compared English and Indonesian RAs, especially within the history discipline. Therefore, the researchers intended to analyze and compare citations in English and Indonesian research article introductions (RAIs) in the history discipline using a genre approach for the analysis and a descriptive qualitative approach for the reports. In this regard, 30 RAIs from both data sets were analyzed using two different frameworks: one is to identify citation ways and, the other one is to analyze citation types. The results revealed that English and Indonesian authors tended to employ descriptions more than other techniques when citing sources. However, English authors employed this technique more than Indonesian authors. In addition, both English and Indonesian authors also used a non-integral type more frequently than the integral counterpart, but English authors employed this type more frequently than Indonesian authors. Thus, these results conclude that although both English and Indonesian authors tended to assimilate their citations and avoid integrating them, English authors still employed this citation technique and type more frequently than Indonesian authors.

Cohesion In the Texts of Arabic Textbooks Written by Indonesian Authors

Arabiyyah Li al-Hayât (ALH) is a book about learning Arabic as a second language written by non-native speakers. The State Islamic University of Malang uses this book as an Arabic learning book. This paper analyses the cohesion in the reading texts (nushush Qira‘ah) used for learning Arabic reading skills in the book. This library research uses a descriptive-qualitative approach. This study found that reading texts have several kinds of cohesion markers, both grammatical and lexical cohesion. Grammatical cohesion marker includes the use of pronoun personas and the use of conjunction markers. Lexical cohesion marker includes the use of repetition, that is, the repetition of words. The researchers also found reading texts in ALH books that lacked a relationship of greatness in them.
 Keywords: cohesion, Arabic, reading skill, non-native speaker

Rhetorical Functions of Articles in SINTA Accredited Journal

Background: 
 In the past ten years or so, the publication of research journal articles has been increasing and growing. The development is even more significant when the Higher Education in Circular Letter No.152 / E / T / 2012 requires article writing for students of all levels as one of the graduation requirements. The publication of articles, especially in English-language journals, is a challenge for Indonesian authors to be able to produce scientific papers that not only meet scientific rules but also linguistic rules in English.
 Methodology: 
 This study aims to see the function of rhetorical moves in English journal articles published in SINTA-accredited journals. The part of the article to be studied is focused on the Introduction which has the main role of providing general information about the research background. The rhetoric function of this article will show a series of texts that have a specific function in the Introduction. The sample of this study was taken from articles in the SINTA-accredited journals level 2 and written in English written by authors of non-English-language disciplines. Two articles were randomly selected from each journal so in total it amounted to 16 articles.
 Findings: 
 This study looks at what rhetorical functions were used, and the textuality of the rhetorical functions used in the Introduction to articles written and published in SINTA-accredited journals level 2. “Indicating the Structure of the Research Paper” and “Announcing Principal Findings” were the least two rhetorical functions stated by the authors in the Introduction section. Two articles in this study fulfil the textuality components but the rests fail to fulfill the textuality components.
 Conclusion: 
 Writing journal articles in English is a great challenge for Authors with an English as a foreign language (EFL) background. Language proficiency, academic language mastery, academic writing convention and mechanics awareness which include rhetorical functions and textuality might distract their content writing competence.
 Originality: 
 Many studies searched the rhetorical functions of postgraduate theses, journal articles, and thesis abstracts in English written by non-native English; however, research on journal articles by Indonesian journal publishers is limited.
