Introduction _______

Ladies and Gentlemen A pleasant to one and all.

I was tasked to give you the overview of this activity and it’s a
great pleasure and honor.

Every year, every universities in the Philippines conduct and host

Introduction, Methodology, Research, and Discussion (IMRaD) research
writing and publication webinar for its continued pursuit of academic
excellence and providing quality education. This webinar series aimed to
help our participants and researchers familiarize themselves with the
parts of the IMRaD format as an institutional guideline for research
writing and publication.

IMRaD is the most commonly used format in scientific article

and journal writing and is used widely across most scientific and
research fields. The use of the format has a certain degree of
flexibility, depending on the guidelines of the institutions and
publishers. IMRaD format is also an abridged version of the
germanic writing style with the exclusions of the chapters in the
template.

The main purpose and objectives of this webinar highlights how

the participants would be able to apply it as a student, researcher
or as a publisher.

The migration to IMRaD format is to encourage more students,

faculty and non-teaching staff to publish their research works in
journals.
