ABSTRACT
This study analyzes grammatical and lexical cohesion in students' scientific works. Cohesion as an important aspect in academic writing plays an important role in creating coherence so that the writing becomes easy for readers to understand. This study describes the tools of grammatical cohesion (references, substitutions, ellipsis, conjunctions) and lexical cohesion (reiteration and collocation) in the context of student scientific writing, as well as reviews theoretical studies, analytical methods, and empirical findings from various previous studies. This study uses a descriptive and qualitative approach that describes the analysis related to the data that has been obtained. The results of the analysis showed that students tended to use lexical references and repetition more often than other cohesion devices. It was concluded that mastery of cohesion tools is very important to improve the quality of students' scientific work and needs to be improved through special learning interventions.
