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.

All faculty researchers, administrative and support personnel and students who would like to publish their scientific R&D works
in any of the University R&D Journals and Journal of Information of campuses shall be governed by the policies and guidelines
on publications.

a. Editorial Board

There shall be one University R&D Journal that shall be internationally peer reviewed. Towards this end, its Editorial Board shall
be composed of researchers who have published in international peer reviewed journals and shall come from varied fields of
specialization.

As a group, the Editorial Board shall provide guidance for the direction of the publication and should communicate on a regular
basis to discuss and review the policies, directions and contents of the journals. They shall have responsibilities towards:
a) The authors as they provide the guidelines in the preparation and submission of the manuscripts;
b) ISU as owner of the publication; and
c) The readers to advance information to the benefit of the public.

An Editorial Staff shall likewise be organized to fundamentally consist of the following:

• Editor-in-Chief;
• Associate Editors representing the sectoral fields of specialization corresponding to the coverage issue of the
publication;
• Circulation Manager;
• Lay-Out artists;
• Cover Design Artists; and
• Encoders.

The selection of the Editor-in-Chief is very critical to the Editorial Board. Reporting directly to the Editorial Board, he/she
oversees the Editorial Staff and makes the necessary recommendations to improve dissemination of the scientific journal and
have complete authority over editorial contents within the defined scope of the scientific journal. He/she should possess a
general scientific knowledge of the areas covered in the journal; have the skill in the art of writing, editing and critical assessment;
and establish policies and procedures in the submission, processing, evaluation and consequently publication of the scientific
journal.
