Dr. Jomar L. Aban, DMMMSU Professor and the Director of Research and Extension Publication, served as the Learning Service Provider (LSP) for a workshop focused on Journal Article Writing, organized by the National Economic and Development Authority Regional Office I (NEDA RO1) in San Fernando City, La Union on February 26, 2025.

The workshop titled “From Idea to Publication: The Journal Writing Journey” aimed to enhance NEDA staff members’ journal writing and publication skills. Dr. Aban addressed critical aspects of journal writing, provided guidance on structuring techniques, and shared effective strategies for selecting suitable publishing outlets. He underscored the significance of transforming research into published works, thereby contributing to the academic field and informing policy formulation.

This workshop followed the recent collaboration between DMMMSU and NEDA RO1 on the Impact Evaluation Study of the Candon Bypass Road Project, which is currently being prepared for publication in the Philippine Journal of Development. (By Aniway P. Millares)
