General Principles [Guidelines on the UP Scientific Productivity System, OVPAA, 2006]

(a)

The conferment of the UP Scientist title shall be based on qualifications and merit.

Faculty members and researchers with doctoral degrees in fields of study in which they are being considered, or MD with MS/MA, with consistent scholarship within the period required in the Guidelines shall be evaluated using a set of high standards that will put “UP Scientists” in their rightful place in the international community of scholars. Only the best and the most deserving shall be conferred the title. The conferment shall be temporary, thus, only those who are productive shall be considered for another conferment and may even be promoted.

(b)

Scientific productivity shall be evaluated based on the following general criteria:

• Scientific publications in refereed reputable scientific journals and books
• Peer-reviewed technological outputs
• Scientific standing in the international science community
• Professional standing in the international science community

(c)

The merit rating system shall take into consideration the following:

• The variations in the landscape among disciplines within the University;
• The relative weights in the rating system will reflect the significance of the source of points;
• Sense of proportionality regarding relative weights of point system;
• Expectations for each Scientist rank - the higher the rank, the higher the expectations.

(d)

Scientific productivity in academia is universally measured by the ability to publish in refereed reputable journals and books. Thus, only refereed scientific publications shall be considered. Technological outputs in the applied sciences shall be considered if they are patented or are peer-reviewed by appropriate means.

(e)

Scientific and professional standings in the international science community are measured by peer recognition of one’s achievements and scientific contributions, gauged by membership in prestigious international bodies and peer review groups, and prestigious international scientific awards.

(f)

Although teaching, extension work, and the training of other scientists are important functions of an academic, these criteria shall not be considered under the UP Scientific Productivity System. As the name implies, it is scientific productivity that is being recognized. Moreover, teaching and public service deserve their own award system. Also, performances in these functions are already considered when being evaluated as faculty for promotions, tenure and other awards (1199th BOR meeting, 26 August 2005).

(g)

Conferment of the UP Scientist title shall be temporary, for a period of three (3) years, renewable or upgraded depending on one’s productivity. It shall be in the nature of an additional recognition, to be given by UP as an Award, called UP Scientific Productivity Award.

11.4.5.1

General principles

(a)

The “UP Artist” is an artist and/or an arts scholar [1239th BOR meeting, 17 December 2008].

(b)

“Artistic productivity” is understood to mean the sustained production of works of arts, such as musical compositions, novels, performance, exhibits, etc., as well as the production of works of arts scholarship [amended at the 1299^th BOR meeting, 31 July 2014].

(g)

Only complete and properly documented applications in all art genres applied for will be considered [1239th BOR meeting, 17 December 2008].

11.4.5.2

Implementing Guidelines

11.4.5.2.1

Nature of appointment

(a)

Regular full-time faculty members, research faculty, REPS, and administrative personnel in active service and regular part-time (occupying a regular item but teaching part-time) in continuous service for five (5) years at the time of application who contribute to the arts and humanities disciplines, and meet the qualifications described in the rating system for evaluation of nominees, may apply for appointment as UP Artist [amended at the 1299th BOR meeting, 31 July 2014].

(b)

Conferment of the title of UP Artist is temporary. It will be in the nature of an additional recognition in the form of a title and a monetary award [1239th BOR meeting, 17 December 2008].

(c)

For the first appointment, the applicant’s output for the last five (5) years prior to application shall be considered for the evaluation of the application [1239th BOR meeting, 17 December 2008].

(d)

The rank of faculty, research faculty, REPS and administrative personnel shall remain the basic rank, on which retirement and other benefits will be based [1239th BOR meeting, 17 December 2008].

11.4.5.2.2

Admission to the System

(a)

UP faculty members, research faculty, REPS and administrative personnel shall be admitted into the System to the extent that they meet the minimum requirements indicated in the present rating system and subject to the availability of funds [amended at the 1299th BOR meeting, 31 July 2014].

(b)

The criteria for evaluation described in the General Principles will be applied based on the present rating system [amended at the 1299th BOR meeting, 31 July 2014]:

1. To earn the rank of UP Artist I, the applicant must earn at least seventy (70) points;
2. To earn the rank of UP Artist II, the applicant must earn at least ninety-five (95) points;
3. To earn the rank of UP Artist III, the applicant must earn at least one hundred twenty (120) points.

11.4.5.2.3

UP Artist I Scoring Guide [1299th BOR meeting, 31 July 2014]

Points must be earned through artistic outputs as indicated in the present rating system for the different arts. (Refer to the Application Form with the Scoring Guide)

Artistic outputs considered acceptable are reflected in the first vertical column of the table of the present rating system for a specific arts area (e.g. “Direction: full-length play” for Theater). The maximum points that each output may earn is reflected in the second vertical column (e.g. 25 points).

Points may be earned through the measures listed in the horizontal space at the top of the grid/ table for each art (e.g. “primary performance, repeat performance, awards/recognitions, etc.). The maximum points that may be earned for each category is reflected in the other vertical columns (e.g. for full length plays, awards, international = 7.5 points). This means that this particular play may only earn a maximum of 7.5 points for the category of awards, no matter how many awards it wins. It cannot earn 7.5 points for each award won.

11.4.5.2.4

UP Artist II Scoring Guide [1299th BOR meeting, 31 July 2014]

To qualify for Artist II, an applicant must earn the required number of points through artistic outputs as indicated in the present rating system. In addition, some of these points must be earned through the recognition of the quality of these artistic outputs in the form of at least one award or distinction in the field.

11.4.5.2.5

UP Artist III Scoring Guide [1299th BOR meeting, 31 July 2014]

To qualify for Artist III, an applicant must earn the required number of points through artistic outputs as indicated in the present rating system. Some of these points must be earned through honors/distinction. In addition, the applicant should attain recognition of outstanding achievement in their field through at least one (1) lifetime achievement award or distinction or at least three (3) national honors/distinctions.

Honors or distinctions are not reflected in the table because they refer to lifetime achievement award or distinction rather than individual outputs.

11.4.5.2.6

Artist Awards [1239th BOR meeting, 17 December 2008]

At least one of these distinctions is necessary for an applicant to cross-rank from Artist II to Artist III.

An applicant who has won such a distinction will always be eligible for Artist III (provided the applicant earns the required number of points), even if the distinction was not earned during the period covered by the application. The justification for that is that such awards are usually given once in a person’s lifetime.

Some awards, like the TOYM, TOWNS, Carlos Palanca Hall of Fame, CCP 13 Artists, are not lifetime achievement awards, but are higher than the awards for individual outputs because they refer to a body of work (e.g., in the case of the Carlos Palanca Hall of Fame, it refers to five (5) first prize awards). Such an award may earn additional points at the discretion of the sub-committees and/or committees of peers, but it is not sufficient to qualify him/her for Artist III.

11.4.5.2.7

Reapplication as UP Artist

(a)

UP Artist who had been accorded the APS award shall be evaluated every three (3) years on the following basis [1239th BOR meeting, 17 December 2008]:

• For Artist I, the applicant must earn 55 points
• For Artist II, the applicant must earn 70 points
• For Artist III, the applicant must earn 85 points

The points for each artist rank must be earned following the same criteria and measures described in the present rating system [amended at the 1299th BOR meeting, 31 July 2014].

(b)

Artists who are unable to gain re-admission into the System upon evaluation after the three-year period may apply again the succeeding year [1239th BOR meeting, 17 December 2008].

Evaluation for re-admission into the System will be based on the accomplishments of three (3) years prior to application [1239th BOR meeting, 17 December 2008].

11.4.5.2.8

Evaluation Procedure [1239th BOR meeting, 17 December 2008]

(a)

The Ad-hoc Arts Productivity System Committee will produce a list of possible members for the Council of Peers from which members of sub-committees and committees for each art in each CU will be drawn. These persons will be distinguished practitioners in the different arts, which are also affiliated with UP, either as faculty members (regular faculty members, lecturers, retired faculty members, professor emeriti) or alumni. This list will be submitted to the Vice President for Academic Affairs. The UP President will appoint the members of the Council.

(b)

Applications will be submitted to the CU Sub-Committee of Peers (who are distinguished art practitioners) for the art to which the applicants believes they belong. The sub-committees in each CU will evaluate the applications, assign the corresponding points for each application, and recommend deserving applicants to the CU Committee of Peers. The CU Committee will review the recommendations of the subcommittees and recommend deserving applicants to the Chancellor. The Chancellor, drawing from the Council of Peers mentioned above, will appoint members of these subcommittees and committees.

If any particular CU is unable to form such sub-committees or committee for whatever reason, it may endorse applications to UP Diliman, and these applications will be referred to the pertinent sub-committees/committees.

(c)

The Chancellor will forward these recommendations to the UP System Committee of Peers which will be chaired by the VPAA (or duly appointed faculty member) and will be composed of peers (artists) drawn from the Council of Peers mentioned above.

(d)

The UP System Committee will oversee the overall implementation of the APS. It will also recommend to the President the UP Artists from the different CUs to receive the title and the corresponding award. It will also regularly review the guidelines for implementation of the APS.

(e)

The final approval of conferment of the rank of UP Artist and the Arts Productivity Award shall come from the Board of Regents upon the recommendation of the President.

Artists, who are unable to gain admission into the System upon evaluation, may apply again the following year. Evaluation for re-admission into the System will be based on the accomplishments of five (5) years prior to application.

(a)

Must have a doctoral degree – in exceptional cases, or when there is no doctoral degree in the discipline, nominations for faculty without a doctoral degree may be considered;

(b)

Must show proof of research or creative output11.5.1.1s; and
