This book,therefore, provides a glimpse on how various components of research culture have been found to have been "observed to a great extent" among the six participating HEIs in CALABARZON, Philippines. However, in consideration of the Total Quality Assurance (TQA), it was found out that gap existed between the perception of the top management, middle management, faculty and graduate students and the intent of TQA in all the components.
