Page last updated: 30 September 2026
Proponents: Dr. Rene C. Batac (Physics, CSG, ALTDSI), Dr. Jude Maria V. Antenorcruz (Physics, CSG), Dr. Briane Paul V. Samson (Software Technology, ALTDSI), Dr. Ruth Angelie B. Cruz (Decision Sciences, ALTDSI)
Funding agency: De La Salle University (DLSU) under the Interdisciplinary Research Project program of the Research and Grants Management Office (RGMO)
Target start and end date: Term 1, AY 2026-2027
Status: Under review for research ethics
Overview of the research project:
Despite having the most impactful researchers, the De La Salle University (DLSU) has seen some decline in research impact metrics over the last few years. The work aims to provide detailed analytics of all-time co-authorship patterns of DLSU using complex network metrics to understand the organic growth of the community and provide insights regarding future trajectories. More importantly, the work may shed light on how DLSU can leverage the success of established researchers through strengthened and incentivized collaboration. Needless to say, the success of DLSU as a research university translates into long-term benefit for the general Philippine society it serves.
