Assessing Knowledge Economy Utilization in Research at Technological Institute of the Philippines

This study aims to assess how Technological Institute of the Philippines (TIP) utilizes principles of the knowledge economy in its research activities. A mixed methods approach is employed combining quantitative and qualitative analyses of research publications from TIP over the past 5 years. The publications will be collected from databases and repositories then preprocessed through text cleaning. Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA), a topic modeling technique, will be applied to identify prevalent themes within the publications. Both the frequency and content of topics related to knowledge economy concepts like innovation, technology transfer, and industry collaboration will be examined. In addition to quantitative metrics from LDA modeling, a qualitative analysis of publications within knowledge economy topics will provide context. The findings will offer strategic recommendations to better align TIP's research agenda with knowledge economy goals of fostering innovation, knowledge sharing, and technological progress. Proper ethical guidelines will be followed to ensure data privacy and anonymity. The study methodology integrates computational and manual approaches to comprehensively evaluate TIP's utilization of the knowledge economy in research.
