Publications

As many researchers know, research can not be an end in itself. Communicating the findings, the methodologies, the theories, the experience of the research is not only important but fundamental. Interested parties such as the academe, policy-making groups, developers, etc., need to know new and valuable discoveries as they are being made as well as have a chance to examine, comment, question, and test the same discoveries. Publishing, then, becomes an integral part of the research process.

For a serious university, publishing, aside from the basic function of disseminating information, is also considered a metric of performance. A research is considered as having greater credence once it appears on a reputed journal. Universities are also judged according to the number of research it produces that get published.
