Research is a part of every activity of human life, and the tri dharma of higher education only reaffirms that task for each academician. Research is not just a coincidence like that, but it is a possibility and opportunity, or not incidentally, for life itself. Because, however, every interest will urge to become the human needs, research becomes a solution so as not to contribute negatively to social and personal well-being. This is stated as research serendipity, which ontologically states that a research will supported by another research and will also give birth to another research.
