Finally, after a year of postponement due to the pandemic, the Visiting Scientist Program of West Visayas State University pulls through, as it starts March 15 and ends in August, this year.
During the opening program to welcome the visiting scientist Dr. Roland Buresh and the participants, WVSU President Dr. Joselito Villaruz urged everyone to “challenge” and “doubt” ideas.
Dr. Villaruz also added that revising policies is needed and he acknowledged that activities such as the Visiting Scientist Program opens doors for novel and practical ideas, adapting to the call of times. This, he says, is part of the “how” WVSU could remain “viable and globally competitive”.
The University President hopes that as WVSU gears toward a stronger research culture, the community would embrace a better vision, a renewed vigor in the quest to improve communities, creating impact on policy and quality of life.
The 6-month program is hosted by the College of Agriculture and Forestry (CAF), with 18 participants from CAF, College of Arts and Sciences, and the Lambunao campus, and 9 Ph.D. students, representing five state universities in Region VI-University of the Philippines In the Visayas, Institute of Science and Technology University, Negros Oriental State University, Guimaras State University and WVSU. One student is an employee of the Department of Agriculture Regional Office. –CILPI
West Visayas State University has proven its quest to become one of the top research universities as viable by welcoming Dr. Roland J. Buresh, from the United States.
Dr. Buresh is the University’s visiting scientist, starting March 15, 2021 to August of the same year. The 6-month Visiting Scientist Program, though this time held via online platforms, is hosted by the College of Agriculture and Forestry, with campus administrator Dr. Dominador L. Lisao.
“A paper cannot be better without research. I want to highlight quality research as part of the success of publication process,” Dr. Buresh stressed.
He shared two ideas in publication: There is the ideal, wherein the researcher plans for publication when the research is planned; and the less desirable, wherein the researcher only plans for publication after the research is finished.
Dr. Buresh has a Ph.D. in Marine Science from Louisiana State University and Master of Science in Soil Sience from North Dakota State University. He has 127 publications and 6,204 citations by 4,763 documents, with h-index=49(Scopus); 17,845 citations with h-index=74, i10-index = 185 (Google Scholar);
Dr. Buresh will serve as mentor to 18 participants, including WVSU faculty and Ph.D. students.
Dr. Greta Gabinete, WVSU’s OIC-Vice President for Research, Extension, and Training said the participants are assigned to Google Classrooms wherein activities and assignments will be required from them. -CILPI
