The Level of Research Output Utilization of Samar State University
Keywords:
Research, Output, UtilizationAbstract
This study aimed to investigate the levels of research output utilization of Samar State University from 2010 to 2014. This study used a qualitative descriptive design to describe, identify and analyze the different levels of research output utilization of social science, technology, and development. From the data collected, analyzed and interpreted, the salient findings of the study is that the research category within the study period (2010-2014) was evenly distributed to 65 researchers under sociocultural and another 65 researchers under technology, engineering and science. Generally, issues on the funding along project duration and lack of fund allocation to development projects, technical writing abilities, poor procurement system, level of confidence in conducting research, subject loading and family time were among the identified factors that affect the levels of utilization. In the light of the findings arrived at in the study, the researcher concluded that the dominance of younger faculty researchers (aged 47 and below) among their other counterparts showed a positive sign for sustained research endeavors. The researcher recommends that there is a need to provide more funds to increase utilization of sociocultural research leading to publication in Thomson Reuters indexed journals and eventually be cited by top authors in the fields.
