Universitas Trisakti lecturers possess a great potential in performing well in the fields of research, community service, and of course, in education and teaching. The quality performance of Education and Teaching is demonstrated through the experiences of lecturers in writing syllabuses, handouts, and Semester Learning Plans (RPS). In the learning process, there are three interrelated components, namely students, lecturers, and teaching materials. Teaching materials can be interpreted as all forms of materials, both written and unwritten, which can assist lecturers in carrying out the learning process and become study materials for students to help achieve predetermined competency standards. Teaching materials designed in the form of books are called Textbooks.

Guidelines for Compilation of Textbooks

Universitas Trisakti provides full support for lecturers to increase their capacity and competence in writing academic materials through the administration of the Textbook Writing Grant Program. In the program, we refer to textbooks as books designated for university members, including in the form of a monograph. This program is not intended to rewrite a thesis or dissertation into a book.

A. Universitas Trisakti Textbook Writing Grant Program

The textbook writing grant program is a funding program administered by the Research Institute of the University of Trisakti to facilitate course lecturers to translate teaching materials into textbooks or monographs, thereby increasing the availability of quality textbooks at the University of Trisakti. The Textbook Writing Grant Program is designated to support manuscript preparation up until the book is published by a professional publisher, which includes: literature studies, coordination within the writing team, an honorarium of the writers, purchasing of stationary and other consumables, and service fees in relation to typing, layouting, editing, cover designing, and (if relevant) publishing fees. In this regard, a guide has been prepared that can help all parties involved to complete their textbooks in accordance with the agreed schedule.

The Guidelines for the Preparation and Proposal of the Textbook Writing Grant consist of 2 parts, the first contains the guidelines for the Preparation of Textbooks and the second part contains the guidelines in the Textbook Writing Grant Proposal.

The selection of references or literature is an important part in writing a scientific paper because a scientific work needs to be supported by relevant references. Citations or quotations are information that can help readers to find supporting references used by the author. The inability to manage citations from selected references causes many citations in a scientific work to be written incorrectly. Writing a correct and precise citation is a critical way to avoid plagiarism.

As a support for the preparation of textbooks, authors can use:

• Guidelines on Citation Writing for the Preparation of Scientific Papers
• Guidelines for Scientific Publications 2017

An author who receives textbook writing grants is required to fill out a Textbook Contract

• Textbook contract

B. Textbook Writing Grant Program from Directorate of Intellectual Property Management, Directorate General of Research and Development Support.

This program is open to university lecturers/researchers who already have textbooks derived from their research experience, supplemented by publications of research results from other researchers conducted in Indonesia in any field of science but have never been used as a textbook material. Each lecturer who has an NIDN will be given one opportunity to be the first author in this Textbook Writing Grant program. This program is not to finance the preparation or publication of a book manuscript, but to provide funding support to improve, consult, and publish the final manuscript through a publisher.
