DOST said that the OSP Award is given yearly to “papers with quality content and significant contribution to science and technology” that were published in journals listed in Thomson Reuters or SCOPUS, two of the most popular scientific citation databases worldwide.

Among those that were recognized is the paper of Jean Meir Jardeleza, Charlotte Kendra Gotangco, and Maria Aileen Leah Guzman entitled “Simulating National-scale Deforestation in the Philippines Using Land Cover Change Models by Jardeleza” published in the December 2019 issue of PJS.

Another article recognized was the paper of Darlon V. Lantican, Cris Q. Cortaga, Anand Noel C. Manohar, Fe M. de la Cueva, and Maria Luz J. Sison entitled “Resistance Gene Analogs of Mango: Insights on Molecular Defenses and Evolutionary Dynamics” which appeared in PSJ’s October 2020 issue.

The paper of Bernhard Egwolf and Nicanor Austriaco entitled “Mobility-guided Modeling of the COVID-19 Pandemic in Metro Manila” was also highlighted.

The December 2020 issue also showcased the paper of Maria Luz J. Sison, Cris Q. Cortaga, Ana Kristine S. Barcos, Niño R. Laurel, John Marty C. Mateo, and Fe M. de la Cueva entitled “Resistance Screening and Influence of Fruit Physico-biochemical Properties of Carabao and Other Mango Varieties against Oriental Fruit Fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Diptera: Tephritidae) in the Philippines.”

Also featured in the said issue is the paper of Gabriel Phillip Ragudo, Beatriz Soneth Pureza, Denise Anne Rimando, Mikael Remus Manrique, Teresa Sy Ortin, Kin Israel Notarte, and Pia Marie Albano entitled “RAD51 135G>C Single Nucleotide Polymorphism and Risk of Breast Cancer in Selected Filipino Cases.”
