The Southeastern Philippines Journal of Research and Development (SPJRD), the official research journal of the University of Southeastern Philippines (USeP), proudly announces its monumental achievement of being indexed in the renowned Scopus database. This milestone signifies the commitment of SPJRD toward research advancement through publications and the University’s vision of becoming a premier research university that transforms communities in the ASEAN and beyond.
Scopus, a leading global bibliographic database, is widely recognized for its rigorous evaluation process and comprehensive coverage of academic publications. Being indexed in Scopus refers to the inclusion of a publication, such as a journal, conference proceedings, or scholarly article, in the Scopus database. When a publication is indexed in Scopus, it has been evaluated and accepted by Scopus for encompassing in its database, indicating that it meets certain quality and scholarly criteria.
SPJRD in the Scopus database confirms the journal’s scholarly merit and showcases high-quality research contributions.
“SPJRD presents diverse perspectives on contemporary issues, concerns, and best practices within the Mindanao and ASEAN region. This includes discussions about its borders, identity, efficacy, and limitations as both a geographical marker and a conceptual category. Since its revival in 2019, the journal has garnered worldwide attention from scholars and researchers. Now, being indexed on Scopus will further the journal to reach an even wider audience,” noted the SPJRD Editor-in-Chief Sajed S. Ingilan regarding the inclusion of the university-based research journal in Scopus.
Additionally, Scopus indexing is vital for researchers and institutions as it enhances the visibility and accessibility of their work within the global academic community, facilitates citation tracking, and can be a measure of the publication’s academic impact and quality.
In today’s time, where knowledge dissemination and collaboration are paramount, the presence of SPJRD in Scopus opens up new avenues for international collaboration and interdisciplinary research opportunities. This achievement highlights the fundamental role of SPJRD in advancing the region’s academic landscape and promoting knowledge sharing on a global scale.
USeP extends its heartfelt appreciation to all the dedicated authors, diligent reviewers, the Board of Advisers, and our tireless Editorial Team, namely Dr. Anne Marie Jennifer Eligio, Dr. Eleonor Guden, Mr. Roel Ceballos, Dr. Cecirly Puig, Dr. Angelo Lenard Yu, Ms. Monique Tagaytay, Dr. Joyce Limbaga, Mr. Kevin Viray, Mr. David XYZ Callena, Ms. Hannah Mae Lolong, Mr. Rey Kenneth John Marces, and Mr. Francis Reginio, for their unwavering commitment, which has been instrumental in this success.
