RCSSED’s very own Dr. Allan de Guzman is the top Thomasian scientist –and 49th in the country– in the latest rankings of the Alper-Doger Scientific Index. The AD Scientific Index, says its website, is “using the total and last 5 years’ values of the i10 index, h-index, and citation scores in Google Scholar. In addition, the ratio of the last 5 years’ value to the total value of the above-mentioned indexes is used.” Around 1,053 Filipino scientists / researchers are included in this Index. (The top Filipino scientist in this Index is Physicist Jan Mickelle Maratas of the Mindanao State University – Iligan Institute of Technology, who is 5,700th worldwide).

The UST-Research Center for Social Sciences and Education is proud to announce the new fellow of Social Weather Stations (SWS), Asst. Prof. Maria Carinnes P. Alejandria, PhD. Her research interests are focused on food security, health vulnerability, disaster resilience and social gerontology.
RCSSED is also proud to announce another new PhD holder – Asst. Prof. Pia Patricia P. Tenedero, with a doctoral degree in Linguistics from Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia.
Asst. Prof. Pia is a member of the UST Department of English and researcher in RCSSED. When she first joined RCSSED in 2013, her first publication examined the English skills that audit firms considered in hiring new accountants. Her PhD thesis extends this inquiry through a critical sociolinguistic ethnography of communication in globalized accounting. Having examined views and practices of communication across the accounting education-profession continuum, her research offers new understanding of what is considered ‘effective’ communication in the growing field of outsourced accounting services. Besides communication in accounting, she is also interested in multilingualism in migration contexts and in English language learning in Catholic missionary work, which is her next project under UST-RCSSED.
Congratulations on successfully completing your PhD, Asst. Prof. Pia Patricia P. Tenedero!
The UST-Research Center for Social Sciences and Education (RCSSED) is pleased to announce the appointment of Prof. Allan B. de Guzman, PhD as the co-editor of Educational Gerontology, a Scopus-indexed Q2 journal by Taylor and Francis Online, that publishes researches on gerontology, adult education, and on social and behavioral sciences.
