Support for Published Research Outputs. The publication of research outputs in
international peer reviewed journals, where findings and conclusions are validated through
rigorous peer review, is the established standard in science. Journals that meet the high
standards of genuine peer review are included in citation indices recognized in the

international scientific community – Thomson Reuters (ISI) and Scopus. On the other
hand, publication or recognition of inventions resulting from research outputs come in the
form of duly registered patents, utility models, designs, trademarks, and copyrights. In the
Philippines, these research outputs are issued by the Intellectual Property Office (IPO).

The University shall promote and encourage the publication of research outputs in
internationally peer reviewed journals, peer-reviewed books or book chapters and to
researchers who are able to have their inventions IPO- registered. For the purpose, the
University shall promulgate a financial rewards scheme. Providing the financial incentives

to deserving ISU researchers shall be approved by the University President through the
recommendation of the VP RDET. In a case where more there are more than one author from
ISU (e.g. co-authors), the award shall be shared equally between (among) the ISU co-authors.

Guidelines on R&D Publications

One of the fundamental roles of ISU in the dissemination of R&D results is the responsibility in
providing a well written, concise, technically correct, and easy to read research report.
Researchers should be able to demonstrate good writing skills because the results of R&D
activities are as successful as the writers and the corresponding reports that emanate from
them.

The print and multimedia R&D publications and other publications of ISU are the public face of

the University and they have significant influence on both public and private perceptions. R&D
books, papers or results of original research works such as technical papers and notes,
scholarly journals, journals of information, newsletters, booklets, reports, posters, training
manuals, modules, brochures and any printed material intended to be transmitted and
communicated by means of any device or process, including the use of the web, shall be
regulated using acceptable standards or style.
