Message from the Editor

We are glad to announce the launching of the new ATR website (https://atr.vsu.edu.ph). Our new upgraded ATR website features several technical and aesthetic enhancements including a robust yet user-friendly submission-to-publication platform.

Since its inception in 1979 (Vol. 1, Issue 1), the ATR has undergone various stages of development and faced numerous challenges, ultimately shaping the journal into what it is today. The Visayas State University is committed to enhancing the performance and quality of the journal, aligning it with international standards, and keeping the ATR current with the ever-evolving demands for relevance and sustainability.
