Abstract

In publishing research results as a scientific article, academicians often face various difficulties, especially if they send the article to journals with foreign language. Language barrier often hinders the publication of scientific articles. In this study, we aimed to examine the perception of the academic community from the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (FMIPA), Universitas Negeri Surabaya (Unesa) in the difficulties of writing and publication of scientific articles. The instrument used in the form of a questionnaire consisting of 10 questions based on the aspects of research substance, writing articles, and submitting to scientific journals using Likert scale. Respondents were lecturers and Postgraduate students in FMIPA Unesa. The aspect in publishing scientific article perceived to be most difficult by mathematics and natural sciences academicians was found to be proofreading article (scored 2.74 ± 1.00), while aspect with the highest score was writing article according to journal template (3.46 ± 1.04). From this study, it can be concluded that the academics of mathematics and natural sciences from Indonesia who apply English as English as Foreign Language (EFL) perceived language barrier to be the aspect found to be most difficult compared to other aspects, such as writing according to template or submitting process.
