From Workflow to Research Paper: How KNIME Can Grow in Indonesian Universities

I’ve been thinking about a simple way to help introduce KNIME to more universities in Indonesia.

Perhaps, one of the ways is simply to use KNIME in our research.

Start with a research question.
Work with the data.
Build the workflow.
Learn from the results.
Then turn that learning into a paper and share it with others.

Yesterday, I was grateful to have the opportunity to present my research paper at the 2026 International Conference on Information Technology Research and Innovation (ICITRI 2026).

For me, this is not a big achievement, but rather one small step in a much longer learning journey with KNIME.

I hope that, little by little, experiences like this can encourage more students, lecturers, and researchers in Indonesia to explore KNIME not only as a tool for learning data science, but also as a tool that can support academic research.

There is still so much for me to learn.

My next hope is to continue conducting research using KNIME and, someday, have the opportunity to publish my work in a Scopus-indexed journal.

One workflow at a time.
One research at a time.
One small step at a time.

Thank you to everyone in the KNIME Community for continuously sharing knowledge, ideas, and inspiration.

Still learning. Still exploring. Still sharing.
