Research Publication Services Office

The Research Publication Services Office (RPSO) functions as an avenue for the dissemination of research outputs generated by faculty, students and researchers. It is responsible for consolidating and disseminating the University’s research, extension, and development undertakings through print and online media.  It documents and promotes the research sectors’ contributions to the University by producing publication such as research journals, bulletins, monographs, abstract compendium, special reports, among others.

RPSO handles the annual publication of the Journal of Agricultural Research, Development, Extension and Technology (JARDET) published once a year. This peer-reviewed journal publishes articles not only from USM but also from contributors elsewhere.

In like manner, it facilitates the implementation of Publication and Invention Award with corresponding financial incentives. This is to encourage faculty and fulltime researches to publish research in peer-reviewed or ISI/SCOPUS indexed journals, file patents for inventions or file for copyrights.
