Higher educ, research orgs must embrace open access

Abstract

RESEARCH AND HIGHER education institutions (HEIs) must embrace digital technology and social media as tools in promoting their research and educational materials, making these resources more accessible to Filipinos. During the fifth biennial meeting of the Socioeconomic Research Portal for the Philippines (SERP-P), the University of the Philippines (UP) and state think tank Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) jointly pushed for greater accessibility of research and educational materials through online and digital media platforms, citing the need for instant access to scientific findings relevant in crafting transformative policies and programs in the country.
