International Publication Award
GUIDELINES
Journal Articles
(Rev. June 2013)
1. IPA to UP authors:
1.1 All faculty members and REPS of UP who are authors of an international peer-reviewed (Thomson Reuters-listed [formerly ISI] or SCOPUS-listed) publication will receive a pro-rated share of the IPA.
1.2 All project researchers and thesis students who work on UP projects, and indicate UP as their affiliation in the publication, will also receive a pro-rated share of the IPA.
1.3 Each UP author will receive a pro-rated share of the IPA equal to P55,000 divided by the total number of authors.
1.4 The author(s) must clearly be identified as belonging to UP If the article was produced while on sabbatical abroad or as result of a joint project with foreign scholars, proper acknowledgement must be given the foreign institution that accommodated the faculty or supported the project; the UP address/affiliation of the author(s) must nonetheless be included in the publication (either in a footnote or as a byline).
1.5 The article must fall within the discipline or related field of the author. For example, a work of poetry shall not be entertained if authored by faculty or REPS outside the field of creative writing, unless there is sufficient proof of prior recognition of the author as a serious practitioner in the field of creative writing as determined by the VPAA, upon consultation with known literary figures.
1.6 The article must be a complete, solid piece of research. If one’s work (e.g. poem) is included or cited in an article authored by another, the cited portion shall not qualify for the award. In addition, certain articles (e.g. tribute/testimonial to a known figure, book review, letter to the editor, editorial, commentary) shall not qualify. The VPAA shall evaluate all articles as to their eligibility.
2. IPA to UP units:
2.1. A UP unit (department, institute, center, etc.) indicated as the affiliate institution of authors in an international publication, will receive an IPA apart from the IPA for authors.
2.2. The IPA per publication for UP units is P15,000. Each UP affiliate unit will receive a pro-rated share of the IPA equal to P15,000 divided by the number of authors affiliated with the UP unit multiplied by the total number of authors. Example: P15, 000 (institutional award per article) ÷ 2 (total number of authors) x 2 (number of affiliated with UP unit) = P15, 000
