| dc.description.abstract | The present study is a content analysis of the institutional researches from 1999-
2014. Data from 219 institutional research output were analyzed to assess the profile
of UM-IR in terms of authorship, citation utilization, number of journal publications,
period of study, and college program; to conceptualize UM-IR in terms of
comparative research methodology, objectives, findings, recommendations, types of
materials used, reference citation style, and library utilization; and to conduct
knowledge mapping of UM-IR in terms of subject content and research agenda.It
was revealed that most of the IRs were written in single authorship; majority of IR
were not cited; not published in the printed school publications though some of IR
were accessible through online in the local and international setting. An increase decrease-increase pattern was noted in terms of productivity with the College of Arts
and Sciences on the lead. Results showed that majority of the methods used in the
conceptualization of the UM-IRs is the quantitative research design with the
descriptive survey as the most predominant. In conceptualizing the research
objective, the interpretative aim was the most used; the descriptive was the most
utilized comparative findings; explanatory recommendations got the highest
frequency; the use of internet resources/materials, books and periodicals got the
highest percentage in terms of types of library materials used; and the American
Psychological Association format (APA) was the most preferred citation style. Under
the knowledge mapping category, when classified according to subject content, the
social science class got a wide margin as the most used and studied domain. It
appeared that the most widely studied domain by the university faculty and
iv
employees are the sustainable institution followed by the sustainable gain in
university. This implied that there is a need to intensify the excellent research culture
among the faculty and employees to help the students develop research skills as one
of the thrusts of the institution for quality education and other endeavors for the 21st
century.
