A Study of Scientific Journal and Book Publishing in SA: 2005 – 2014 Appendix 1 A study of scientific journal and book publishing in SA: 2005 – 2014 5 March 2017 The CREST team was Johann Mouton, Astrid Valentine, Annemarie Visagie, Lynn Lorenzen, Johann Spies, Herman Redelinghuys, Nelius Boshoff and Robert Tijssen 1 Acknowledgements CREST wishes to thank the Academy of Science of South Africa for this commission. In particular we would like to acknowledge the support of Ms Susan Veldsman and the staff at the Scholarly Publishing Unit for their support and advice throughout the project. The first author also wishes to thank the technical staff at CREST, and in particular, Lynn Lorenzen, Annemarie Visagie, Herman Redelinghuys and Johann Spies, for their roles in the production of the data. We also wish to thank John Butler-Adam, Nico Cloete, Gansen Pillay and Johan Muller for their valuable comments on earlier versions of the section on predatory publishing. The Report is structured into two parts. The first part, Twelve Years Later: Second ASSAf Report on Scholarly Publishing in and fro South Africa(2018), presents an extensive overview of the main findings of the study and can be read as a standalone report in its own right. The second part is the Main Report (this report)which is a detailed treatment of the issues and consists of three sections devoted to journal articles, books and book chapters and conference proceedings respectively.

The Academy of Science of South Africa (ASSAf) was inaugurated in May 1996. It was formed in response to the need for an Academy of Science consonant with the dawn of democracy in South Africa: activist in its mission of using science and scholarship for the benefit of society, with a mandate encompassing all scholarly disciplines that use an open-minded and evidence- based approach to build knowledge. ASSAf thus adopted in its name the term ‘science’ in the singular as reflecting a common way of enquiring rather than an aggregation of different disciplines. Its Members are elected on the basis of a combination of two principal criteria, academic excellence and significant contributions to society. The Parliament of South Africa passed the Academy of Science of South Africa Act (No 67 of 2001), which came into force on 15 May 2002. This made ASSAf the only academy of science in South Africa officially recognised by government and representing the country in the international community of science academies and elsewhere. 2 Table

................................................. 217 4 Part One: Introduction The last systematic studies of scientific journals and scholarly publishing in South Africa were done in 2006 and 2009 respectively (both by CREST under commission from the Academy of Science of South Africa (ASSAf). Both of these studies are now outdated. One reason for this has to do with the revision of the DHET Research Subsidy Framework in 2003 (which came into effect in 2005) as well as the more recent additional suggested revisions to the Framework. This framework is currently being implemented (with effect from 2017). As with the revision in 2003 we believe that these revisions will have far- reaching effects on scholarly publishing in South Africa. This report analyses the shifts in scholarly publishing over the past decade and more specifically the period between 2005 and 2014. We have witnessed a spectacular increase in total publication output by the SA Higher Education sector since the implementation of the revised Framework in 2005 (the total publications nearly doubled from 7230 units in 2005 to 14 008 in 2013). The possible inclusion of journals listed in the TR WoS database (and possibly even other lists) and the increased monetary value disbursed to monographs are two of the changes that may impact significantly on the distribution and quantity of journal publications. In addition, over the past number of years, ASSAf has implemented a systematic review process of clusters of journals. In the initial reviews, bibliometric information was included, but

  • 'Voglio Una Donna!': on Rewriting the History of International Criminal Justice with the Help of Women Who Perpetrated
    OUP UNCORRECTED PROOF – FIRSTPROOFS, Fri Jan 18 2019, NEWGEN 10 C7 7 ‘Voglio una donna!’: On Rewriting the History of International Criminal Justice with the Help of Women Who Perpetrated International Crimes Immi Tallgren C7.S1 ‘Voglio una donna!’ C7.P1 Like Uncle Teo in Fellini’s Amarcord, I cried out for women. Not to embrace them like Teo, but to include them in a chapter which critically examines histories of international criminal law. Where should I begin the search for samples of ‘women who perpetrated international crimes’? In his Monsters: History’s Most Evil Men and Women Simon Sebag Montefiore addresses very few women in its extensive portrait gallery: Yezebel, Empress Theodora, Empress Wu, Isabella the She- Wolf of France, Catherine de’ Medici, Bloody Mary, and Elena Ceausescu.1 (One might reasonably ask were there any more in his Heroes: History’s Greatest Men and Women2?) Reading about past national and international criminal trials for conduct we would now- adays call ‘international crimes’3 in the search for ‘women perpetrators’ takes some perseverance. Whether ‘academic’ or ‘popular’ histories, or histories written by law- yers, few women appear in their pages. When they do, it is as direct victims—killed, raped, tortured, enslaved, persecuted, detained— or their mothers, wives, daugh- ters, other family or community members. In terms of criminal procedure, women figure as victims, victim- witnesses, or witnesses; not as the accused, convicted, or acquitted. C7.P2 Why would one search for ‘women perpetrators’, in particular? I acknowledge at the outset the challenges of attempting any research ‘about women’ today— decades after the post- structuralist questioning of identity, agency, power, and C7.N1 1 And a couple of others, see Simon Sebag Montefiore,Monsters: History’s Most Evil Men and Women (Quercus 2008).

  • Discourse and Emotion in Sustaining Violent Social Movements During Military Occupations: Iraq, Northern Ireland, and the Palestinian Territories
    DISCOURSE AND EMOTION IN SUSTAINING VIOLENT SOCIAL MOVEMENTS DURING MILITARY OCCUPATIONS: IRAQ, NORTHERN IRELAND, AND THE PALESTINIAN TERRITORIES A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Government By Irena L. Sargsyan, MA Washington, DC 5 May 2016 Copyright 2016 by Irena L. Sargsyan. All Rights Reserved. ii DISCOURSE AND EMOTION IN SUSTAINING VIOLENT SOCIAL MOVEMENTS DURING MILITARY OCCUPATIONS: IRAQ, NORTHERN IRELAND, AND THE PALESTINIAN TERRITORIES Irena L. Sargsyan, MA Dissertation Adviser: Andrew Bennett, PhD ABSTRACT Why do violent social movements rise or fail during military occupations? How are some leaders able to overcome the problem of collective action and sustain violent campaigns that require voluntary, risky actions, but others are not? Why are only some leaders effective in achieving political objectives through sustained collective violence? In Iraq (2003–11), how was Muqtada al-Sadr, leader of the Sadrist Trend, able to muster a violent militia and vast popular support and thereby become a potent political player? Why did the Islamic Supreme Council of Iraq fail to maintain its influence, and why did Al Qaeda in Iraq gain and then lose the ability to mobilize violence in the same period? Similarly puzzling variations in the outcomes of violent collective action have been observed elsewhere. In Northern Ireland (1969–98), how did the Provisional Irish Republican Army outstrip the Official Irish Republican Army in sustaining collective violence? In the Palestinian territories (1987–2015), how did Hamas defeat its established rival Fatah and transform itself into a highly organized political and social movement with a capacity for lethal terrorism? iii I argue that favorable microstructural conditions and emotional appeals from credible leaders with legitimacy among domestic audiences are necessary and jointly sufficient to sustain violent collective action.
