The government often claims that Indonesia has been\u00a0ranked the highest for the number of scientific publications<\/a>\u00a0in Southeast Asia.<\/p>\n

Data from the Scimago scientific journal ranking system, for example, shows that in 2020 Indonesia’s research productivity will be in\u00a0the 21st position<\/a>\u00a0in\u00a0the world<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 up 15 places from the previous three years.\u00a0This ranking has the potential to continue to rise in line with the\u00a0incessant culture of scientific publications<\/a>\u00a0in Indonesian universities.<\/p>\n

However, this high amount of research production is not followed by a good dissemination of knowledge from the academic community to\u00a0one of the parties who need it most<\/a>\u00a0, namely the community.<\/p>\n

Many parties,\u00a0from professors to deputy ministers<\/a>\u00a0, have voiced the lack of science communication in Indonesia.<\/p>\n

Professor and former chancellor of the Indonesian Islamic University (UII) in Yogyakarta, Edy Suandi Hamid, for example, said the dissemination of this weak science was a ”\u00a0huge waste of research results<\/a>\u00a0” in Indonesia.<\/p>\n

This lack of scientific communication is due to various reasons, including not many lecturers who are willing to share research results in a way and through media that are more accessible and understandable.\u00a0They seem to forget that ordinary people have difficulty understanding their analyzes in scientific journals.<\/p>\n

Curse of science<\/strong><\/h4>\n

So far, the academic community in Indonesia, especially at universities,\u00a0has been demanded<\/a>\u00a0by universities to devote their energies to publishing articles in reputable international journals.<\/p>\n

As a result, the writing is published using the format, style, and academic vocabulary, which are usually in English, making it difficult for the public to consume.<\/p>\n

The already wide distance between academic writers and the general public is then exacerbated by the ”\u00a0curse of science<\/a>\u00a0“.\u00a0This curse takes the form of thinking bias that occurs in people with higher levels of insight who fail to consider a problem from the perspective of a more ordinary person.\u00a0As a result, science communication is increasingly unbridgeable.<\/p>\n

Steven Pinker, professor of psychology at Harvard University, United States (US), for example, said scientists and lecturers really like to use a\u00a0jargon-filled writing style<\/a>\u00a0called ”\u00a0academese<\/em>\u00a0“.<\/p>\n

He gives an example of an excerpt from a scientific article using complex language which in Indonesian is more or less meaningful:<\/p>\n

\u201cParticipants read several declarative statements whose truths were confirmed or rejected by affixing a word assessment that came after\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The sentences that appear in the methodology section of the scientific article alone are very difficult for native English speakers to understand, let alone Indonesian readers.<\/p>\n

Though there is a choice of sentences that are simpler without reducing the meaning.\u00a0Pinker gives an example, which in Indonesian might read:<\/p>\n

\u201cParticipants read several sentences, each followed by a true or false statement\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This sentence is much shorter and clearer so that it is easy to understand.\u00a0However, the public and policy makers still very rarely find scientific articles written in this language style.<\/p>\n

In certain fields such as the social sciences and humanities, the habit of writing styles that are full of specific vocabulary with dense and complex sentence structures is still a challenge \u2013 especially for non-native English speakers, including most Indonesians.<\/p>\n

According to\u00a0research from the UK<\/a>\u00a0that examined hundreds of teachers and principals, many educators who want to increase their teaching capacity still have difficulty understanding the results of research in journals.\u00a0In the end they rely more on information from popular sources such as the mass media.<\/p>\n

Sounds complicated on purpose<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Academic<\/em>\u00a0culture\u00a0, or writing style with high language can be a manifestation of the desire of academic writers to\u00a0increase their reputation<\/a>\u00a0by highlighting scientific credibility.<\/p>\n

In fact, some of them may even do so to simply cover up the impression that their scientific findings are mundane and offer nothing new.<\/p>\n

A study by Daniel Oppenheimer, a professor of psychology at Carnegie Mellon University in the US, for example, found that 86% of respondents admitted that they\u00a0had deliberately used complex vocabulary to<\/a>\u00a0sound more scientific.<\/p>\n

In addition, two-thirds of them also admitted to using\u00a0thesaurus<\/a>\u00a0to find synonyms for more academic words in their articles.<\/p>\n

This shows that the use of high and complex language is a\u00a0perpetuated<\/a>\u00a0characteristic of the\u00a0publication culture in the academic world.<\/p>\n

Increase the number of popular posts in the media<\/strong><\/h4>\n

One way the academic community can overcome this is actually to distinguish between the target audience from the academic community and those who are ordinary people.\u00a0One example is through popular writing in the mass media.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, currently\u00a0there are very few<\/a>\u00a0lecturers who write in popular scientific media that have an editing process that favors ordinary readers.<\/p>\n

Academics not only\u00a0lack the time and skills<\/a>\u00a0to write popular science, but there is also no incentive for them to spread scientific insights through this channel.<\/p>\n

As an illustration, the government currently only focuses on awards for lecturers who write in scientific journals in accordance with the\u00a0Regulation of the Minister of Research, Technology, and Higher Education No. 20 Year 2017<\/a><\/p>\n

This incentive is not only given by the central government in the form of monetary awards, but also from each institution with various amounts.\u00a0At the Islamic University of Indonesia (UII), for example,\u00a0incentives<\/a>\u00a0for international proceedings (scientific works for academic conferences) can be valued at up to IDR 8 million.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, support for writing in popular media is in the form of very small points, which is only 1 credit score (AK) for writing in popular magazines.\u00a0Compare that to writing in an English-language national journal which\u00a0can reach up to 20 AK<\/a><\/p>\n

The Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology (Kemendikbud-Ristek) needs to provide more incentives for lecturers to write down research results or use their scientific insights to dissect hot issues in society with language that is more straightforward, clear, and down-to-earth through reputable media capable of reach many people.<\/p>\n

From here, demands and encouragement can arise for academics to increase their capacity in communicating research results not only through seminars, but through popular scientific works.<\/p>\n

The quality of publications through journals with an academic style still needs to be improved because it has its own share of readers.\u00a0One of them is scientists who build scientific insight in their respective fields.<\/p>\n

However, the wider dissemination of research results must also be encouraged as a solution to the poor communication of science in Indonesia so that this space is not filled with misinformation from opportunistic social media and online portals.<\/p>\n
