The RDE envisions that USM will manage and publish journals that are included in international indexes such as Web of Science and Scopus. The Research Publication Services Office (RPSO) handles peer-reviewed journals published by USM colleges or institutes. These include the Journal of Agricultural Research, Development, Extension and Technology (JARDET) and Studies in Natural and Applied Sciences (SNAPS). All journals can be accessed through USM’s online journal website. All USM peer-reviewed journals publish articles not only from USM but also from contributors elsewhere.
The RPSO also facilitates the implementation of Publication and Invention/Intellectual Property Awards with corresponding financial incentives. This is to encourage faculty and fulltime researchers to publish research in peer-reviewed or ISI/SCOPUS indexed journals, file patents for inventions or file for copyrights.
Publication Incentives
Prior to submission, authors are strongly recommended to inform the URDEC through the RPSO of their intent to publish through the Application Form for Intent to Publish (URDEC Resolution No. 08 s2020, Policy Guidelines in the Paper Publication and Provision of Monetary Incentive/Awards). Upon approval of the intent to publish, the potential authors will receive a notice to proceed, and submit their article to their indicated journal. Potential authors with disapproved applications will also be informed accordingly.
After publication, authors shall inform the URDEC through the RPSO of their publication and email their full paper to [email protected] for evaluation for publication incentive.
The application for intent to publish was put in place to provide guidance to potential authors, and to assist the RPSO set targets for the number of publications and monitor submissions to high quality journals.
