Abstract: The goal of this study was to figure out the implementation of creative writing to improve the quality of students’ journal articles in developing ideas, citations, and thesis statements. This study was conducted at UIN SAIZU Purwokerto, Central Java, Indonesia using a qualitative method based on phenomenological research. Observations, semi-structured interviews, and literature studies were used to collect the data in creative writing to develop ideas, citations, thesis statement, and article quality. The phenomenological data analysis technique is started by describing personal experiences and under-studied phenomena, followed by a list of important questions, assertions, and data analysis to draw conclusions. The results showed that the students should express new information from the developed ideas, citations, and thesis statements through creative writing. Creative writing does not only need to develop writing skills and the use of technology, but also promote novelty, preciseness, and certain styles to improve the quality of scientific publications. It was concluded that the development of ideas, citations, and thesis statements can increase the quality of students’ journal articles in various ways depending on each student's ability and support from the lecturers by providing training and learning materials. It is expected that government and universities should not only focus on the implementation of technology and increasing number of publications, but also provide creative writing training, so that the quality of scientific writings produced by the Indonesian universities can be recognized all over the world.
