Sixty-four researchers of the University of the Philippines made it to the Top 150 Filipino Scientists/Scholars
by Webometrics.

De La Salle University’s Vice Chancellor for Research and Innovation and University Fellow Dr. Raymond Tan topped this
year’s country’s list of the most outstanding and renowned scientists from different universities and government agencies.

Tan, who focuses studies in process systems engineering and process integration, with applications to low-carbon energy
systems and sustainable industrial operations, nagged the top spot with 2,849 citations.

Tan was followed by Maricar Prudente, a full professor at the Science Education Department of De La Salle University-
Manila and an ecotoxicologist, conducting researches on environmental monitoring of Persistent Organic Pollutants
(POPs). Prudente has 2,588 citations per Google Scholar.

The list also mentioned researchers of other institutions such as Ateneo de Manila University and University of Santo
Tomas. So far, Ateneo de Manila University has only 7 scientists in the list.

PhilStar said the list was collected during the third week of May 2015 from the public profiles of researchers working in
Philippine institutions. “It is a BETA ranking of the scientists according to their declared presence in the Google Scholar
Citations database.”
