 Research gap adalah kekosongan atau celah dalam pengetahuan ilmiah yang belum diteliti secara memadai oleh studi sebelumnya. Celah ini dapat berupa ketidakkonsistenan hasil, keterbatasan cakupan geografis, kerangka teori yang belum berkembang, atau fenomena baru yang belum dijelaskan oleh literatur yang ada. Menurut Sandberg dan Alvesson (2011), > "A research gap is a problematization of existing literature and theories that reveals areas that are under-theorized, over-generalized, or inconsistent." Sementara itu, Booth et al. (2008) menjelaskan bahwa mengidentifikasi research gap adalah proses penting dalam mengembangkan argumen ilmiah yang kuat dan menentukan kontribusi penelitian. Contoh Research Gap Judul Topik: Penggunaan Teknologi AI dalam Pembelajaran Bahasa Indonesia untuk Penutur Asing (BIPA) Literatur Sebelumnya Menyatakan: Sebagian besar penelitian fokus pada penggunaan AI dalam pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris, terutama melalui aplikasi seperti Duolingo, Chatbot be...

Di era informasi yang penuh distraksi dan opini subjektif, jurnal ilmiah menjadi jangkar kebenaran yang berdiri di atas landasan metode ilmiah dan validasi sejawat. Tulisan ini memaparkan pentingnya jurnal sebagai mekanisme pencatatan, validasi, dan penyebaran ilmu pengetahuan yang dapat dipertanggungjawabkan, serta bagaimana ia menjadi pondasi utama dalam membangun kemajuan peradaban. Sejak era Renaisans hingga Revolusi Industri, perkembangan sains tidak pernah terlepas dari proses dokumentasi dan diseminasi pengetahuan. Jurnal ilmiah lahir bukan sekadar sebagai wadah publikasi, melainkan sebagai sistem desentralisasi ide dan pengetahuan — di mana setiap temuan dapat ditelusuri, ditantang, direplikasi, dan disempurnakan. Masalah: Informasi Tanpa Verifikasi Dalam dunia digital saat ini, informasi menyebar lebih cepat daripada validasi. Artikel blog, video, dan opini media sosial menyajikan data tanpa proses peer-review. Hal ini menyebabkan bias, misinformasi, dan penurunan kualitas pen...

🔍 Apa Itu Novelty dalam Artikel Ilmiah? Dalam dunia akademik, novelty atau kebaruan ilmiah adalah elemen penting yang menentukan nilai orisinalitas suatu penelitian. Sebuah artikel dikatakan bernovelty tinggi jika mampu menyajikan hal-hal baru, unik, dan belum banyak dikaji sebelumnya. ✅ Ciri-ciri Penelitian yang Memiliki Novelty: 1. Topik atau objek yang baru Belum banyak diteliti atau menjadi tren baru dalam bidang tertentu. 2. Metode baru atau modifikasi metode lama Pendekatan inovatif yang menghasilkan sudut pandang berbeda. 3. Kombinasi variabel yang tidak biasa Menggabungkan teori atau variabel dari berbagai bidang. 4. Kontribusi terhadap literatur ilmiah Menambahkan wawasan baru atau mengisi celah riset (research gap). 5. Konteks lokal spesifik Kajian yang dilakukan di wilayah/komunitas yang jarang disorot. 🧠 Mengapa Novelty Penting? Jurnal bereputasi tinggi, terutama jurnal internasional, mementingkan novelty sebagai salah satu syarat utama kelayakan publikasi. Artikel tanpa ...

Recent years have seen a tremendous increase in scientific literature on social networks. The term "network" is now widely used in several situations. The scholarly community is increasingly interested in the institutions that impact our social and economic life. Matthew Jackson's volume on social network analysis (SNA) emphasizes that networks facilitate human connection. They influence the spread of knowledge and people's decisions. Human networks follow stable and predictable norms, even as they become increasingly complicated over time. Adopting a network perspective is critical for understanding human behavior. The editors of this edition convened a workshop titled "Networks, Behavior, and Strategies in Early Financial Markets" at Stockholm University in October 2022, which resulted in enlightening conversations among the contributors. 5 This volume emphasizes the significance of networks and the usefulness of using a network approach to study his...

Human beings require privacy. We all require a private location where we can feel safe from scrutiny and judgment. In dystopic governments, complete transparency is seen as a violation of freedom. However, those in power prioritize personal privacy. Privacy is a primary priority for policymakers and has become a social concern in many countries, including Europe and China. However, it is unlikely that humans have ever had less privacy. Physical surveillance is pervasive, with cameras deployed by governments on streets, stations, and public transport, companies in shops, and individuals outside their homes. In recent decades, the rise of digital services has led to increased surveillance of personal information. As a result, the private of people's information and data (informational privacy) may not be fully lost, but it is not in excellent shape. Smartphones are mostly used to provide services to users, rather than for communication. Users often pay for services using their...

 This study examines the use of bibliometric reviews in marketing literature by conducting a methodical review of 140 papers from the top 47 journals. We analyze bibliometric review methods, focusing on sample size selection, database comprehensiveness, methodological complementariness, theoretical contributions, and practical consequences. Our findings indicate a growing use of bibliometric tools in marketing research. However, worries remain about the rigor and potential impact of bibliometric analysis. We identify avenues for development, including improving sample size and replicability, expanding database coverage, using theory-driven frameworks, and establishing implications for practice. Our guidelines help marketing academics handle bibliometric research successfully and contribute to the growth of marketing studies. Marketing researchers can use bibliometric analysis to gain insights, discover gaps in research, and enhance theory by following recognized rules and reco...

 According to Walter Mischel (2008), "Psychologists treat other peoples' theories like toothbrushes—no self-respecting person wants to use anyone else's". With the current work, which introduces the humanistic theory of welfare (HTW), I must plead guilty as charged. Given the abundance of existing theories and models in psychology and wellness studies, it's reasonable to question the need for new ones. I believe we do. While theories are important in science, it's important to note that Michael's warning was not intended to discourage the development of new theories. He criticized the publication of early theories aimed at furthering careers over knowledge. Mischel cautioned against narrow "turf" ideas focused on "sub-fields within sub-disciplines." Mischel warned against creating a "Terminological Tower of Babel" that separates sub-fields and disciplines, causing unnatural joints. Theories should not be limited by arti...
