The Hannah W. Tibbs Writers’ Studio through its project lead Dr. Emil F. Ubaldo, conducted a technical writing lecture on July 7, 2025, for the first batch of senior high school students participating in the Youth Science Program in the Regions (Luzon), organized by the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) - Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development (PCAARRD).

The four-hour session, part of the Science Immersion Program (SIP) led by Dr. Melanie P. Tolentino, Director of the Center for Central Luzon Studies and professor at the Department of Social Sciences at CLSU, aimed to enhance students’ research capabilities. The lecture focused on evaluating credible academic references and mastering APA formatting and citation guidelines—key skills for effective scientific writing and communication.

As part of the session, students participated in a hands-on workshop where they practiced identifying retracted articles using databases. They analyzed retraction notices to understand the reasons for retractions, such as data falsification, plagiarism, or methodological errors, and evaluated the notices’ clarity and transparency.
Students also investigated whether retracted articles continued to be cited post-retraction, exploring the implications of such citations on the credibility of subsequent research.

He also introduced students to various citation management tools, such as Zotero, Mendeley, and EndNote, to help students organize references, generate citations and manage research materials efficiently.

The students also got the chance to visit the Writers’ Studio and even participate in the on-going study abroad session organized by CLSU alumni of various exchange programs. Additionally, the students received souvenirs from the Writers’ Studio.

The Science Immersion Program at CLSU, running from June 23 to July 11, 2025, brings together 25 Grade 11 and 12 students from various Philippine Science High School (PSHS) campuses across Luzon.
