Standing as foremost gatekeepers of scholarly quality and visibility, Clarivate Analytics' Web of Science (WoS) and Elsevier's Scopus confers credibility, influence, and prestige upon the journals and articles they list. In the Philippine higher education landscape, there is a growing clamor for faculty researchers to publish in these two major indexing databases driven by the need to elevate the country's research visibility, enhance institutional rankings, and align with international standards of academic excellence. Recognizing the role of intellectual capital in a knowledge-based economy, national research agencies in the Philippines have institutionalized the push for international publications in scientific journals indexed in Clarivate Analytics' WoS and Scopus Elsevier. However, despite institutional mandates, many Filipino researchers face challenges in meeting the standards of these major indexing databases. A movement aligned towards global and national imperatives, how can one publish their research manuscript that reflects a deep understanding of academic writing conventions, ethical publication practices, methodological rigor, and strategic alignment with these academic journal indexing giants?

Strengthening every researcher’s proficiencies through skill enhancement, the Asian Society of Teachers for Research Inc. invites you to the Training-Workshop on Preparing Research Manuscripts for Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus Publications on November 27-29, 2025 (9:00 am -5:00 pm) at the N Hotel, Cagayan de Oro, Philippines.
