Business Technology and Innovation Research among Southeast Asian Countries: Examining Philippine Performance in Technoinnovation Research

Technology and innovation in business research and technological innovation are significant contributors to humanity’s advancement. Innovation is the consequence of the meticulous efforts and outputs of research and development activities and tasks. The current study examines the published research data of Southeast Asian (SEA) countries’ performance, specifically the Philippine performance, in the Scimago Journal and Country Rank digital bibliometric repository. The data demonstrate that technological innovation research is establishing itself as a recognized field of study and is rising in terms of publishing output within Scopus subject areas. It indicates that the Philippines falls below the average band line for SEA nations in terms of published documents, citations, self-citations, and open access, but falls inside the average band line for international partnerships. Additionally, it demonstrates that the Philippines has a modest positive association between published documents and open access availability. Additionally, this paper discusses other projects in depth.
