From Draft to Masterpiece: SLSU’s Workshop Prepares Research Papers for Global Indexing
Southern Leyte State University (SLSU) continued its dedication to academic excellence with a pivotal event on August 14, 2024, where completed research papers were presented and received real-time feedback from esteemed experts. Held at the USSC Plenary Hall, this event was a key part of SLSU’s ongoing efforts to enhance the quality and impact of its research outputs.
The session was led by Dr. Don Eliseo Lucero-Prisno III, NRCP-RD Leader, and Mr. Jerico B. Ogaya, NRCP-RD Lead Assistant, both of whom brought their extensive experience in academic publishing to the table. Their feedback was invaluable to participants, focusing on refining the structure, enhancing clarity, and ensuring adherence to the specific guidelines of international journals.
Participants presented their completed research papers and received tailored feedback from the experts. The discussions addressed common pitfalls such as ambiguous language, inconsistent formatting, and insufficient depth in literature reviews. These interactive sessions ensured that each participant left the event with a clearer understanding of how to elevate their research to meet the highest academic standards.
This event aligns with SDG 4 by promoting quality education, specifically by improving the research and writing skills of faculty, staff, and students. By equipping researchers with the necessary tools to produce well-crafted and impactful papers, SLSU is fostering an environment of academic rigor and excellence. Additionally, the session supports SDG 9 by encouraging innovation in research methodologies and strengthening the infrastructure needed for academic success on a global scale.
In addition to the technical aspects of manuscript preparation, the event also emphasized the strategic importance of publishing in indexed journals. Dr. Lucero-Prisno highlighted how inclusion in global indexing bodies not only enhances the visibility of individual research but also elevates the institution’s reputation in the academic community. By aiming for indexed publications, SLSU researchers contribute to the global body of knowledge while also reinforcing the university's status as a hub for cutting-edge research.
"From Draft to Masterpiece" event represents a critical step in SLSU's mission to support its researchers in achieving global recognition. By transforming completed papers into polished, submission-ready manuscripts, SLSU is not only enhancing the quality of its research outputs but also ensuring that its scholars are well-prepared to contribute to the global academic community. This event underscores SLSU’s commitment to excellence in research and its role in driving innovation and academic growth.
