What is E-Saliksik?

E-Saliksik (hereafter referred to as “E-Saliksik”, “the Research Portal”, or “the Portal”) is the official repository for research in the Department of Education (DepEd). E-Saliksik is short for “Edukasyon Saliksik”.

The Portal was designed to contribute to the culture of research in the Department by providing easy access to completed and quality-assured research produced by its employees, as well as its partner organizations and institutions. Policy backing for the Portal is provided by DepEd Order No. 14, series of 2022.

E-Saliksik is powered by a WordPress-based content management system (CMS) which allows content creators to compose their work and make it accessible to their target audiences online.

Like other WordPress-based sites, content in E-Saliksik is divided into two technical categories: Posts and Pages. Posts are used for timely content and have publish dates; examples include uploaded research and periodic research-related content (such as announcements, feature articles, and blog posts). Pages are used for non-time-sensitive content and have no publish dates; examples include static content such as the “About” and “Contact Us” pages.

E-Saliksik relies on multiple layers of users who assigned specific roles in managing and creating content. These roles determine the functions a user can execute on the Portal’s CMS, which include but are not limited to creating and modifying content. The completed research uploaded to E-Saliksik is organized based on two major categories: (1) the themes of the Basic Education Research Agenda (per DepEd Order No. 39, series of 2016); and the (2) research report’s geographical scope.
