He is considered one of the most illustrious historians to follow the great nationalist historians Teodoro A. Agoncillo and Renato Constantino. His conceptual framework of Pantayong Pananaw in Philippine social science refreshened the nationalist perspective that lost its luster after the Marcos years. Pantayong Pananaw has provided a powerful framework for a new generation of Philippine scholars in writing the history and culture of the Filipino "inert masses."

According to Ricamela Palis, Salazar in his many papers posited that:
“ ... the history of a specific community or nation should be construed primarily on the basis of the internal flow of its own history. Colonized for centuries by foreign powers, (Filipino) worldview is largely influenced by the works of scholars under the tutelage of colonial education. Philippine history, therefore, may be construed based on our own understanding of concepts and constructs that spring from two perspectives—first, from the likas o taal na Pilipino; and second, from the Western worldview. ”

With the arrival of Western colonizers, Philippine "historiography was framed in Western language and ideology," a bias that has been continued for several generations of Philippine historians.
