More than 450 participants took part in online training through the GoToWebinar platform. The participants are lecturers, educational staff, and UGM postgraduate students from various disciplines. Every year, the NRA workshop is able to attract the UGM academic community to join it. This can be seen from the increase in the number of participants from year to year. After participating in this training, participants are expected to be more productive in writing scientific articles and publishing them in reputable international journals. (Kiki)
