later

Abstract

Academic literacy is a crucial competency that every student must possess to produce high-quality scientific work that meets academic standards. Academic literacy encompasses not only reading and writing skills but also critical thinking, analysis, and an understanding of scientific publication ethics. Furthermore, lecturer guidance for students is a crucial factor in guiding students to develop written ideas, develop research methodologies, and produce publishable scientific work. The purpose of this study is to analyze the role of academic literacy and lecturer guidance in improving the quality of student scientific publications. A qualitative method was used in the study through a literature review. The study took place in the even semester of the 2025/2026 academic year. Data were collected using observation guidelines sourced from secondary sources based on a literature review. Data were analyzed thematically based on time triangulation. The results of the study indicate that academic literacy and lecturer guidance significantly contribute to the quality of students' scientific writing, particularly in aspects of writing structure, reference use, and scientific argumentation. Furthermore, lecturer guidance plays a role in improving the quality of scientific work through methodological guidance, ongoing evaluation, and academic motivation. Thus, the synergy between academic literacy and lecturer guidance is an important factor in supporting the continuous improvement of the quality of students' scientific publications.
