使用文献计量学指标对菲律宾教育和心理学领域的研究效率进行了客观评估。然后，将结果与其东南亚邻国在相同领域的研究生产率进行基准比较。结果显示，与新加坡、泰国和马来西亚相比，菲律宾的研究生产率排名较低，特别是从20世纪90年代开始。只有少数研究人员--主要来自少数高等教育机构--定期在少数期刊上发表论文。这些期刊要么没有影响因子，要么影响系数很低，而且大多数论文的引文量都很低。它还减少了与国内和国际机构的合作。从经济指标、许多社会科学研究的地方性定位、资金、研究人员的个人特征以及该国知识生产的认知文化等方面解释了研究生产率低的原因。然而，政府发起的改革，特别是在高等教育部门的改革，有望带来更好的研究前景，从而在不久的将来提高研究生产率。
An objective assessment using bibliometric indicators of research productivity in education and psychology in the Philippines was conducted. Results were then benchmarked against its Southeast Asian neighbors’ research productivity in the same fields. Results showed that the Philippines ranked low in research productivity compared to Singapore, Thailand, and Malaysia, particularly starting in the 1990s. Only a few researchers, mainly coming from a small number of higher education institutions, were publishing papers on a regular basis in a small range of journals. Those journals had either no or low impact factors and most papers had low citation counts. It also collaborated less with domestic and international institutions. This low research productivity was explained in terms of economic indicators, the local orientation of many social science research studies, funding, individual characteristics of researchers, and the epistemic culture of knowledge production in the country. However, the reforms initiated by the government, particularly in the higher education sector, would hopefully lead to a better research landscape and, consequently, improved research productivity in the near future.
