In the Philippines category, HCCCI moved from Rank 137 in 2025 to Rank 83 in 2026. Within Asia, the institution shifted from Rank 7,401 to Rank 6,052, and globally from Rank 14,127 to Rank 12,150. These movements indicate steady progress in measurable research indicators.

The AD Scientific Index is a publicly accessible ranking system that evaluates institutions and researchers based on scientific productivity, citation data, and overall research performance. As rankings are based on available bibliometric data, results may vary annually.

Beyond numerical improvements, strengthened research engagement contributes to the institution’s broader role in community development. Increased research activity supports evidence-based instruction, encourages faculty and student involvement in relevant studies, and promotes solutions that address local and regional concerns. As research culture grows, students are exposed to inquiry-driven learning, critical thinking, and innovation—skills that are valuable in both professional practice and community service.

Improved research visibility may also create opportunities for academic collaboration, partnerships, and knowledge-sharing initiatives that benefit stakeholders beyond the campus. By gradually enhancing its research capacity, HCCCI aims to contribute responsibly to educational advancement and community responsiveness.

This development aligns with Sustainable Development Goals related to Quality Education, Innovation, Reduced Inequalities, and Partnerships, as the institution continues its commitment to steady growth and meaningful academic contribution.
