On April 5, 2025, the University Research Center successfully conducted the second installment of its Research Writeshop at the EA Building, Room EN218. This event brought together 15 representatives from a diverse range of academic and non-teaching departments, such as the university clinic. Building on the first session held in the previous semester, this workshop focused on advancing participants’ research papers, specifically targeting the Results and Discussion sections.
The session was led by Martin Cris Buenafe, who delivered a lecture on the Present, Analyze, Interpret, Link (PAIL) method. His presentation provided participants with a clear framework for structuring and articulating their findings, ensuring that their research is both coherent and impactful. Buenafe also covered the essential components of the Conclusion and Recommendation sections, closing the lecture on how to summarize results and proposing actionable next steps.
A question and answer segment followed the lecture, allowing participants to share their insights, raise queries, and discuss their previous experiences with research writing. This interactive exchange fostered a supportive environment where both new and seasoned researchers could learn from each other’s challenges and successes.
The remainder of the day was dedicated to a focused writing session. During this time, participants worked on their drafts, benefiting from the guidance of University Research Center personnel who were on hand to provide feedback and answer questions. The collaborative atmosphere encouraged participants to seek advice not only from facilitators but also from their peers, further enhancing the learning experience.
Overall, the Research Writeshop Part 2 proved to be a valuable opportunity for faculty and staff to refine their research papers and develop their academic writing skills. By providing a structured yet flexible platform for learning and collaboration, the University Research Center continues to empower the university community to produce high-quality research that contributes meaningfully to their fields.
