After attending a seminar-workshop on “Intensifying Strategies for Global University Rankings & Scopus Publications” last November 12-13, 2024, JBLCF-Bacolod, spearheaded by the Unit RDC, initiated the idea of forming a Core Group of Authors and Writers for Scopus Publication.
The seminar workshop, attended by selected participants from the three academic campuses, provided strategic directions for increasing publications in Scopus-indexed journals. This initiative aims to eventually place JBLFMU in world university rankings. The challenge is to raise the university’s current record of 50+ articles published in Scopus-indexed journals to 100 and beyond.
Translating What We Learned from the Seminar-Workshop
To answer this challenge, JBLCF-Bacolod has identified a core group of researchers composed of faculty researchers and students, particularly those who attended the aforementioned activity, who will be tasked to write various types of publishable materials (research articles, commentaries, essays, etc.) for Scopus publication. A follow-up workshop for the core group will be held at the start of 2025. This team will work under the supervision of the Unit Research Coordinator in collaboration with the Academic Deans of the College of Maritime Education and the College of Business and Education and instructors teaching Research.
