& AI in Social Research
Upcoming Schedule: 29 - 30 January 2025
Venue: Mindanao State University - Iligan Institute of Technology
Overview
This regional training series will provide back-to-back training on Publishing Social Science Research and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Social Research. The first training is designed to guide junior researchers in the social sciences in transforming their research papers into an academic manuscript that can be published in scientific journals, especially those that are indexed in SCOPUS and Web of Science (WOS). The second training is developed to equip researchers with the tools and knowledge to unlock the full potential of AI as a tool in social research, while maintaining ethics and integrity in the responsible conduct of research.
Who should attend?
This regional training series is intended for social scientists, researchers, civil society partners, and government officers from the peripheries and the regions interested and involved in the process of academic research publication and the ethical and creative use of AI in social science research.

At the end of the Publishing in Social Science Research, participants will be able to:
- articulate the value of disseminating and publishing social science research;
- navigate the process of conceptualizing, writing, submitting, and revising manuscripts; and
- learn knowledge and skills to develop articles for submission to Scopus- and WOS-indexed journals.
At the end of the AI training course, participants will be able to:
- examine the advantages and constraints of AI in social research;
- apply diverse AI tools across different research phases and explore cutting-edge AI applications;
