Abstract

The rapid advancement of digital technology has increased the demand for university students to manage academic references effectively, systematically, and accurately. Nevertheless, the use of digital reference management applications continues to present several technical and operational challenges. This study aims to develop a model of students’ perceptions regarding the use of Zotero as a digital reference management tool by examining their experiences, encountered challenges, coping strategies, and continued use. A qualitative approach employing a phenomenological design was adopted to obtain an in-depth understanding of users’ experiences. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with students at Tanjungpura University in 2025 who had experience using Zotero for academic purposes. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis involving coding, categorization, and the identification of overarching themes. The findings revealed three major themes: barriers to use, coping strategies, and continuity of use. The identified barriers included integration problems with word-processing software, incomplete metadata, and inaccurate ISBN and DOI entries. Students addressed these challenges through training, peer assistance, independent exploration, and online tutorials. Despite these difficulties, students continued to use Zotero because of its perceived benefits in improving reference management efficiency, citation accuracy, and organizational consistency. The findings underscore the importance of developing innovative training strategies and providing sustained academic support to strengthen students’ digital literacy and foster an effective, autonomous, and sustainable digital academic ecosystem in higher education.

Abstract

Ecological crisis has become a prominent theme in contemporary Indonesian literature, particularly in narratives portraying the environmental consequences of extractive industries. This study examines how ecological crisis is represented in Dian Purnomo’s Perempuan yang Menunggu di Lorong Menuju Laut (2nd ed.), set in the mining-affected Sangihe Islands. Using qualitative textual analysis, 89 purposively selected textual units from p. 3–271 were coded according to Greg Garrard’s tropes of pollution and earth and interpreted ecocritically, with extractive capitalism serving as the interpretive horizon rather than a second analytical lens. Pollution appears as mercury-contaminated wells, discolored rivers, polluted seas, damaged burial grounds, and the gendered burden of water insecurity, all normalized as conditions of mining. The earth is constructed as a living, maternal, ancestral, and ethically agentive entity whose wounding registers the disruption of ecological dwelling. Pairing the two tropes reveals what single-trope or socio-political readings cannot: that material contamination and relational loss are mutually constitutive, and that extractive capitalism is critiqued as a system dissolving the reciprocal conditions of inhabitation. The study extends Garrard’s framework to contemporary Indonesian fiction and suggests the analytical value of pairing materialist and relational tropes.
