Manila Studies Program, in partnership with the Office of the Dean, CAS, held the “Writeshop for Research and Publication” for CAS faculty members last 24-29 November 2011 at the Alumni Conference Room.

The writeshop was facilitated by the Dr. Laurie S. Ramiro, MSP Convenor, and Dr. Leonardo Estacio Jr., Chair of the Department of Behavioral Sciences.  The attendees consist of faculty members from DPSM, DB, DPE, and DAC who are already done with their research and would like to publish them.

Mentors included Dr. Noel Quiming, faculty of DPSM and UP Scientist I; Dr. Ramiro and Dr. Estacio.

The mentors guided the CAS faculty in the preparation of the manuscripts they will submit to pre-identified local or international peer-reviewed journals.  Each participant chose a journal they are interested in and made a draft based on the guidelines set by the publication.

The attendees focused more on writing, revising and rewriting their papers while their mentors and facilitators monitored their progress day by day. 

The researches for publication drafted during the writeshop range from topics on environment to medical conditions such as cerebral palsy.

MSP conducts seminars and workshops on research in line with the thrust of the University of becoming a research university.
