About Qubic Research
Welcome to Qubic Research. I am Dr Ertie Abana, the sole author and founder of this platform.
I founded this site with a singular mission: to make life easier for researchers. My journey began in the Philippines, where I earned my Doctor in Information Technology (DIT) from Saint Paul University Philippines. I spent years in the heart of academia, serving as the Research Head at the University of Saint Louis. In that role, I led the Center for Research and Technology Innovation, overseeing diverse research programmes and helping scholars across all disciplines navigate the complexities of data, ethics, and publication.
A Global Perspective for All Researchers
Now based in the United Kingdom, I have dedicated my expertise to bridging the gap between academic rigour and digital efficiency.
Qubic Research is the culmination of my background in Information Technology and extensive experience in Academic Research. I created this site because I realised that while researchers are experts in their specific fields, they are often underserved when it comes to the digital tools and technical infrastructure they rely on every day. Whether you are in the arts, sciences, or humanities, this platform is designed to support your scholarly journey.
Why Trust This Site?
As an active researcher and reviewer, I personally guarantee the integrity of every post. My perspective is unique because I look at the research process and its tools through two distinct research-focused lenses:
- The Academic Lens: I understand the pressure of Scopus indexing, the high stakes of peer review, and the absolute necessity for data rigour in formal scholarship.
- The Methodological Lens: With a Doctorate in IT, I apply a systematic research mindset to evaluate how digital tools and technical infrastructures actually perform under the demands of real-world academic investigations.
What I Cover
I write for the global research community—from PhD candidates to career scientists and professors—focusing on:
- Research Tools: In-depth reviews and comparisons of software and hardware tailored for modern scholarship.
- Research Guides: Step-by-step walkthroughs to help you navigate the complexities of the research process.
- Using AI in Research: Exploring the ethical implementation and practical applications of Artificial Intelligence in academia.
- Research Topic Ideas: Curated inspiration to help scholars identify impactful gaps in various fields of study.
- PhD Guides and Insights: Mentorship-driven content designed to support doctoral students through every stage of their journey.
