Mataram, February 25, 2025 – The Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB) at Universitas Mataram successfully organized an international public lecture titled “Tips & Tricks for Writing Scientific Articles for Publication in Scopus-Indexed Journals.” The event featured Assoc. Prof. Dr. Mohd Anuar bin Arshad from the School of Management, Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), as the keynote speaker.

During the lecture, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Mohd Anuar bin Arshad delivered a presentation on “Structured Literature Review (SLR) Writing Strategies for Reputable Journal Publications.” He emphasized the importance of the Structured Literature Review (SLR) method as a systematic, transparent, and replicable approach to literature reviews. Unlike conventional literature reviews, SLR employs a clear methodology, including comprehensive steps for source selection, analysis, and synthesis.

Key Topics Discussed in the Public Lecture:

• The importance of SLR in ensuring comprehensive, transparent, and replicable literature reviews.
• The stages of SLR, from formulating research questions, source search strategies, and selection criteria to data synthesis techniques.
• Analytical and reporting methods in SLR that enhance the quality of scientific publications and minimize bias.
• Strategies for publishing in reputable international journals, particularly Scopus-indexed journals, by adhering to the required academic formats and standards.

The event was attended by lecturers, program managers, and master’s degree students eager to learn SLR-based scientific writing techniques. The discussion session was interactive, allowing participants to engage directly with the speaker regarding the challenges in conducting SLR and how to overcome them.

Through this public lecture, it is hoped that Universitas Mataram academics and students will be increasingly motivated to adopt the SLR method in their research. This initiative aims to improve research quality and expand academic contributions at the international level, aligning with Universitas Mataram’s mission to build a global reputation through high-quality scientific publications.
