This event, which included active participation from Lyceum-Northwestern University (L-NU), aimed to enhance the research skills of participants, particularly in publishing their research papers in reputable academic journals. The training featured 3 lecturers with different expertise. Dr. Rhowell Dellosa, the Center Head of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Environment Research of PSU shared his expertise on effectively preparing and publishing research and provided practical strategies in navigating the complexities of the publication process with the aid of AI tools, while Dr. Rosalyn Rosal the Research Director of VMUF discussed the essential IMRAD format, guiding participants on structuring their papers for maximum clarity and impact.

Dr. Cynthia P.

By framing findings through a distinct viewpoint, researchers can offer fresh insights that engage readers and increase the likelihood of publication in reputable journals.

This collaboration between the RUC and CBC of R1HRDC with resource speakers from its member institutions, underscores a shared commitment to advancing research capabilities in the region. By fostering a culture of academic excellence and supporting researchers through capacity-building efforts, these institutions are empowering professionals and students to make significant contributions to scientific knowledge and innovation.
