The quality of students' final projects is greatly influenced by their ability to search for and utilize relevant and up-to-date scientific references. Students of the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education (FKIP) at Pancasakti University Makassar, although they have received guidance on their final projects, still face difficulties in finding relevant and recent articles. This training activity aims to improve the ability of FKIP students at Pancasakti University Makassar to search for scientific articles as an effort to optimize the quality of their final projects. The methods used include socialization and hands-on practice with instructor guidance. The training materials cover an introduction to scientific databases, effective search strategies, the use of appropriate keywords, as well as reference management techniques using the Mendeley application. The results of the activity indicate an increase in students' understanding and skills in finding and using relevant scientific articles. This training is expected to serve as an initial step in fostering a research-based academic culture within the FKIP Faculty at Universitas Pancasakti Makassar.
