Professor James Bellini provided basic guidance to help young researchers visualize the steps needed to prepare a good study that meets the publication criteria of international scientific journals.

Professor James Bellini advises researchers to read and update a lot of scientific information in their field, in order to determine the field and scientific issues that they are interested in. The important thing is to find the "gaps" in research - issues that others have not researched to "fill" with their own research. Keeping a research diary is also a mandatory operation, thereby helping to systematize the information you "collect", as well as marking your own journey of thinking and researching about the issue you are pursuing.

In a scientific paper, it is necessary to clearly present the research question, highlight the importance of the research problem, and the contributions of this research to the general research field. The research paper is often structured like an "hourglass". The introduction raises the problem, then gradually narrows down to delve into the method and present the main research results. The conclusion expands the scope by reaffirming the main research results, highlighting the relevance of this research result to existing research. The paper also needs to clarify the similarities and differences between the results of one's own research and the results of existing research.

The scientist also shared in depth the points to pay attention to in order to successfully publish his research in an international scientific journal such as: understanding who the readers of that journal are; strictly following the publisher's instructions; always considering and weighing the reputation of the scientific journal you want to publish in; attaching importance to using citations from international research sources in your research; presenting the article in a scientific style; seeking the help of experts to ensure that your article is presented in scientific and accurate English...
