Abstract

In an ever-evolving academic publishing landscape, English as a Foreign Language (EFL) postgraduate students face distinct challenges and opportunities in the process of research article publication. This study aimed to meticulously identify the hurdles these students encounter in prestigious public universities in Central Java and Yogyakarta. Leveraging a qualitative narrative research approach grounded in academic publication theories, insights from ten postgraduate scholars across English and Indonesian majors were gathered through open questionnaires and focus group discussions. The methodology facilitated a collaborative setting for data validation and exploration of students’ experiences. Findings underscore that students are actively leveraging feedback and rejection as essential tools for reflection and learning, showcasing an affinity for technological advancements. It is discerned that the readiness to embrace modern tools is integral in cultivating research competence. The study advocates for educational institutions to nurture this preparedness by fostering a culture rooted in extensive literature reviews and theoretical comprehension, thereby encouraging original contributions in academic discourse and enhancing the quality of research outputs. This research, therefore, champions adaptive, technologically adept, and literature-rich academic environments for the upliftment of EFL postgraduate students in research publication.
