HumasUPNVJ - Great news has come again from a student at the Faculty of Medicine UPN Veterans Jakarta (FK UPNVJ) class of 2017 Tiara Josephine Gracienta. He succeeded in publication in international journals and achieved Scopus Q1 ranking as first author .

Scopus uses a ranking parameter called the Scimago Journal & Country Rank or SJR. SJR is calculated based on the average number of citations per article published in a journal in the last three years from the Scopus database.

In assessing journals, Scopus makes clustering of journal quality, Q1 is the highest cluster in terms of journal quality, followed by Q2, Q3, and Q4.

Tiara Josephine Gracienta, who is usually called Tiara, successfully completed her journal entitled Diagnostic Accuracy of Antibody-based Rapid Diagnostic Test in Detecting Coronavirus Disease 2019: Systematic Review. The achievements Tiara has achieved are milestones for the world of medical education in Indonesia because Tiara is still an active student and already has international publications.

"The research topic of this journal developed from the results of my thesis to obtain a Bachelor of Medicine degree. Initially, this research journal only wanted to be submitted to national journals, but thanks to the guidance of my supervisor and examiner and the extraordinary support, I finally had the courage to pack this journal for publication in international journals and even Scopus Q1," said Tiara to the public relations team on, Wednesday (21/04/21).

Tiara also explained that the research being conducted aims to find out how accurate the antibody rapid test is in detecting COVID-19 which is popularly used widely in the world. The research method is systematic review , in which the researcher collects data from previous studies, then identifies, interprets, and evaluates the research results systematically.

In the process, Tiara admitted that she could not be separated from the support of various parties, the support was not only present from her parents, but from Dr. Ryan Herardi as supervisor, dr. Yanto Sandy Tjang as the examiner lecturer (supervisor 2), and dr. Taufiq Fredrik Pasiak Dean of FK UPNVJ and Prof. Frans Santosa who is the Chairman of the UPN Veterans Jakarta Senate.

Not only that, Tiara also conveyed a message to other fellow students who wanted to follow in her footsteps.

“Everything can start from the research, the purpose and scope must be clear, look for hot topics and novelties or something controversial which later we can give a conclusion to rectify the controversial matter. Then learn and understand the structure of good article writing, review articles that have been published. Last but not least is our own intention, don't just want to pass publication, but try to see how this research can have an impact on the wider community. God will definitely have good intentions," Tiara ordered

He also hopes that one of these successes will become a great enthusiasm to make even better works.

"I'm more enthusiastic to learn and keep learning. Hopefully in the future there will be more publications that are much better, as well as more achievements achieved which can also make the alma mater proud. Maybe the motivation from one of the supervisors that I always remember can increase the enthusiasm of my fellow students and lecturers who said that hang your hopes as high as the sky, if you fall you are still in the clouds. If it's only as high as the table, if you fall directly to the floor. You decide how high you want to fly. If you want to be 'top', you have to try harder. If the business is careless, the results are also sloppy, "he added.
