Titled 鈥淭he UST Journals Online Portal,鈥 it was officially launched by the Office of the Secretary-General and the UJAC on December 6, 2018, at the UST Paredes Building.

The UST Journal Affairs Committee is headed by the UST Secretary-General Rev. Fr. Jes煤s Miranda, Jr., O.P., Ph.D. It is composed of the respective chief editors of the academic journals published by the various units of the University.

assistance, guiding editors in maintaining quality assurance and professionalizing the respective editorial boards, among others. Now that the various UST academic journals are under one common platform, it will be easier for researchers to access content and information about the journals, specifically the respective submission and publication policies of each publication.
