Abstract:

The Annals of Tropical Research (Ann. Trop. Res. | ATR) of the Visayas State University proudly announces its formal inclusion in Elsevier's Scopus, one of the world's largest and most respected databases for peer-reviewed literature (Schotten et al., 2017). This accomplishment marks a defining moment in the journal's almost five decades of scholarly publishing. Since its inception in 1979, ATR has remained steadfast in its commitment to knowledge creation, scientific advancement, and societal development as evident in its 47 volumes published in both print and online formats that has steadily expanded its global visibility.
