Keep It Simple but Smart

KISS

Prinsip dalam pembuatan karya ilmiah adalah KISS (Keep It Simple but Smart).

Ungkapan KISS ("Keep it simple, stupid") sebagai prinsip desain U.S. Navy in 1960.^[1][2]

The KISS principle states that most systems work best if they are kept simple rather than made complicated; therefore simplicity should be a key goal in design and unnecessary complexity should be avoided. The phrase has been associated with aircraft engineer Kelly Johnson (1910–1990).^[3] The term "KISS principle" was in popular use by 1970.^[4] Variations on the phrase include "keep it short and simple" and "keep it simple and straightforward".^[5][6]
