Abstract

Abstract This paper reports a study on Mendeley-based instruction for scientific writing in Indonesian higher education. It particularly focuses on examining the students’ attitude on scientific writing through the use of Mendeley Reference Manager in their scientific writing classroom practices. The study employs a survey research utilizing Survey Monkey in collecting data in the defining process on how the 100 students perceive their academic writing and how they translate into their classroom writing practice using Mendeley-based instruction for their scientific writing classroom activities. The research result demonstrates that there were marked differences in the way the students view their academic writing using Mendeley-based instruction for their scientific writing classroom activities. From the students’ perspectives, there were three categories identified in the analysis: (1) Well Equipped Mendeley (WEM); (2) Fairly Equipped Mendeley (FEM); and (3) Lowly Equipped Mendeley (LEM). The WEM students tend to have a better academic writing in their study on scientific writing. The FEM students displayed their academic writing with some difficulties in their writing practices emerged from their academic writing. The LEM students, on the other hand, found it very challenging during their study in scientific writing classes. What is evident is that the more students are equipped with knowledge on Mendeley-based instruction, the better their academic writing performance is.
