UNIVERSITY OF LIMPOPO 2019 ANNUAL RESEARCH REPORT

1. INTRODUCTION

This report highlights the research activities of the University of Limpopo (UL) during the period 01 January 2018 to 31 December 2018. It is based on Strategic Goal 5 of the University of Limpopo (UL) Strategic Plan 2018 - 2022 which is to improve the University’s research standing and status. The UL Annual Research Report involves information about academic staff and postgraduate students in different research activities which are geared towards achieving the targets set through strategic goal number 5. The research activities that were carried out in the University during the period in review sought to achieve several objectives as set out by each of our Four faculties: The Faculty of Humanities is still at the novel level of developing researchers and plans are afoot to address critical categories of Women in Research, Emerging and novel researchers as well as deal with Mentorship within the Faculty. While the Faculty of Management and Law deals with research mainly on business- orientated disciplines, including business management, human resource management, economics and accountancy; development studies; public administration and law.

The Faculty of Health Sciences is also concerned with developing research capacity and competencies, increasing research publications, enhancing research collaborations (interdepartmental, interschool, interfaculty and institutional collaborations) and increasing support for postgraduate students. Meanwhile, some of the focus areas for the Faculty of Science and Agriculture are in indigenous poultry breeding; risk and vulnerability analysis; vegetable crops production, cropping systems, African indigenous crops production, ecological fertiliser application for vegetable crops production, rainwater harvesting and sustainable vegetable crops production; cancer, obesity and diabetes research; synthesis and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopic characterisation of bridged organometallic complexes; Ellisras longitudinal studies; minerals & beneficiation; alloy development; energy storage & battery materials; computer networks; joint modelling of longitudinal and survival outcomes, and speech technology.

One measure of improved productivity in the University the growing number of national and international collaborations that staff across all Faculties are engaged in. It is through these collaborations that we have observed a growing number of early-career researchers benefiting with an improvement of their qualifications as well as

publications. Therefore, the report presents the University’s achievements and challenges experienced during the execution of research activities in the year 2018.

2. RESEARCH STAFF DEMOGRAPHICS

An analysis of staff demographics in 2019 indicated that there were 723 researchers in the University. Compared to the demographics reported in 2018, this was a slight increase in the number of staff, from a total of 714 in 2018. Of this total 275 were female, whereas 448 were male. In percentages, this reflected representation of 38% females and 62% males. These figures still represent a similar ratio to that of the previous year 2018.

38%

Male Female

62%

Figure 1: Staff members involved in Research: Gender distribution

From these staff numbers, the analysis sought to establish the representation of staff based on their qualifications. The results were as follows:

Below Masters 14%

Masters 56%

Doctoral 31%

0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60%

Figure 2: Staff members involved in Research: Qualification distribution

All in all, 14 percent of the staff members across faculties held a degree below a Master’s degree. 56 percent held a Master’s degree. Staff who possessed a doctoral qualification were equal to 31 percent. In terms of qualifications, in 2019, the following shifts in the representation of staff were noticeable:

 A drop in the percentage of staff with lower qualifications (namely, below Master’s) – from 21 percent in 2018 to 14 percent in the 2019 academic year.  An increase in the number of staff who hold a Master’s degree – from 47 percent in 2018 to 56 percent in 2019.

However, there was also a drop in the number of staff who hold a Doctoral qualification. This category saw a shift from 33 percent in 2018 to 31 percent in 2019.

The next figure shows the different percentages of staff members from the various Faculties who were involved in research:

Management and Law 16%

Science And Agriculture 34%

Health Sciences 22%

Humanities 28%

0% 5% 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% 35% 40%

Figure 1: Staff members involved in research: by Faculty

In 2019, the majority (34%) of staff members involved in the research were from the Faculty of Science and Agriculture. This is a slight deviation from the previous year’s report which showed that the majority of staff in the research were from the Faculty of Humanities. The second most percentage of staff who were involved in research came from the Faculty of Humanities (28%). This was then followed by the Faculties of Health Sciences (22%) and Management and Law (16%) respectively.

3. RESEARCH FOCUS

Through the research activities of the University, in 2019 we sought to consolidate and start the build-up of the approved Research Niche Areas (RNAs). All Four Faculties were involved in research work that was aligned to the following FIVE niche areas:

 Indigenous Knowledge Systems – composed of three thematic research areas, namely, Indigenous epistemologies, language and paradigms; indigenous medicine and indigenous foods and food security.  Climate Change and Sustainability – with the consensus that the cause of climate change is a result of human expansion. Faculties continued to support multidisciplinary research activities addressing this global issue. ● Women’s Health – in this RNA, work for the creation of a platform for postgraduate training focused among others at postgraduate research that is aimed at providing professionals trained at advanced levels of health services

provision; and, designing initiatives required for the successful implementation of the country's proposed National Health Insurance System. ● Mental Health – the aim in this RNA was to build a formidable community of scholars from a multidisciplinary context (that is, Humanities and Social Sciences, Health and other Applied Sciences). This RNA perfectly fits in with the university’s vision of being “a leading African University focused on the developmental needs of its communities and epitomising academic excellence and innovativeness”. ● Complementary and alternative medicine – leveraging from the context of a rich biodiversity UL finds itself in, some researchers from diverse backgrounds were involved in research where medicinal plants are of interest.

Because of the common goal set by the UL approved RNAs, all Four Faculties had their activities strategically aligned to the approved Research Niche Areas. Faculty specific themes are thus highlighted here below:

Faculty of Humanities focused on the following research areas. a) Information Needs and Information Seeking Behaviour b) Records Management and Information Management c) User Studies and Open Access Scholarship d) Health Communication e) Media & Society, New Media and Development f) New Media, Development, Print Journalism and Communication for Development Faculty of Management and Law mainly focused on five sub-themes: a) Sustainability, b) Entrepreneurship, c) Development Policy, d) Public Affairs and Government. e) Public Policy Faculty of Health Sciences focused research activities on the following issues: a) Women and Children’s Health b) Control and prevention of communicable and Non-communicable diseases c) Food security and Nutrition, particularly Child Nutrition. 5

Faculty of Science and Agriculture focused on a diversity of research areas. However, the following were identified as notable: a) Green technologies, with emphasis on plant protection b) Cognitive Wireless Technology c) Aquatic ecosystem health d) Cancer, Obesity, and Diabetes e) Chronic non-communicable diseases f) Computer Modelling of Materials

All these above-mentioned focus areas ensured that Faculties were robustly involved in research activities aligned to the approved RNA’s of the University.

It is encouraging that that the research focus of the University compares favourably to the country’s (National and Provincial) research priorities as outlined South Africa’s National Research and Development Strategy (2002) and the Limpopo Provincial Research and Development Framework.

4. CENTRES OF EXCELLENCE

The National Research Foundation describes Centres of Excellence (CoE’s) as physical or virtual centres of research that concentrate existing research excellence and capacity and resources to enable researchers to collaborate across disciplines and institutions on long-term projects that are locally relevant and internationally competitive to enhance the pursuit of research excellence and capacity development. Recognising this very critical role of CoE’s, UL continues to establish new and continue to maintain currently existing CoE’s. Although no new CoE’s were established in 2019, it is hoped that the newly established RNA’s will soon culminate into the recognition of some of them into CoE’s. Similar to the year 2018, seven CoE’s existed in University during the academic period of 2019. These were located in different Faculties as follows:

The Faculty of Management and Law was host to the African Centre for Sustainability Accounting and Management (ACSAM), located in the School of Accountancy (SoA). The CoE is chaired by Prof Michael Fakoya. Through its works,

ACSAM seeks to promote accounting scholarship in environmental sustainability management. Further, the ACSAM Centre of Excellence seeks to promote relevant and high-quality teaching, research and external engagement with people in practice and government through a supportive network of academics to develop appropriate knowledge and expertise for career development in accountancy. The activities of ACSAM include:  Research training and support to post-graduate students in Sustainability Accounting,  Mentoring emerging scholars in the field of Sustainability Accounting.

Moreover, the Faculty of Science and Agriculture hosted the following CoE’s: a) Green Biotechnologies Research Centre of Excellence (GBRCE) - The GBRCE research and develop quantitative standards concerning nematode-plant- phytonematicide relations for registration authorities at a global level. b) Larry Leach Herbarium, The herbarium has three main functions, namely: o To maintain a scientifically curated collection of plant specimens representative of the Limpopo Province. o To act as a secure repository of valuable voucher specimens linked to the research outputs of the university's staff and students. o To function as an indispensable teaching tool, in particular to botany students, but also the university at large. The collection in this herbarium consists of the main collection of pressed specimens, the lichen collection and the succulent spirit collection. c) Aquaculture Research Unit (ARU), whose research focus is on Aquaculture, fish nutrition, water quality, fish pond dynamics, and aquatic biological diversity. d) Materials Modelling Centre (MMC). Research focus in this CoE is on Computational modelling of energy storage materials.

5. RESEARCH CHAIRS

The South African Research Chairs Initiative (SARChI) was established in 2006 by the Department of Science and Technology (DST) and the National Research Foundation (NRF). It is designed to attract and retain excellence in research and innovation at South African public universities through the establishment of Research Chairs at 7

public universities in South Africa with a long-term investment trajectory of up to fifteen years.

The main goal of the Research Chairs initiative is to strengthen and improve research and innovation capacity of public universities for producing high-quality postgraduate students and research and innovation outputs. The key objectives of SARChI are to:

 Expand the scientific research and innovation capacity of South Africa;  Improve South Africa’s international research and innovation competitiveness while responding to the social and economic challenges of the country;  Attract and retain excellent researchers and scientists;  Increase the production of masters and doctoral graduates; and  Create research career pathways for young and mid-career researchers, with strong research, innovation and human capital development output trajectory.

The instrument is designed to bring new research leadership capacity into public universities, while at the same time retaining those that are already at the universities.

As a role player in this competitive territory, UL is privileged to host the following Research Chairs:

DST/NRF SARChI Research Chair in Ecosystem Health, Prof WJ Luus-Powell (NRF Rated C3)

The SARChI Chair commenced in 2016 with Prof WJ Luus-Powell as Chair holder. The Chair is supported by three Senior Researchers (Dr I Prikrylova, Dr A Halajian and Dr JR Sara), a Research Assistant and several collaborators at UL, national as well as international institutions.

The main focus of research is on aquatic ecosystem health concentrating on fish health and diseases associated with different kinds of pollution, with emphasis on parasite diversity. The constant threat of anthropogenic activities and pollution to aquatic ecosystems requires ongoing and comprehensive monitoring and management. All biota is affected by changes in aquatic ecosystems for example hippopotami are affected by droughts and their health and parasites form part of our research. Crocodiles have shown to be sensitive to environmental changes and develop a disease called pansteatitis which seem to be irreversible. The pathways and effect of different contamination levels associated with this disease have not yet been established and our research group is focusing on this as part of our research. Furthermore, fish are also affected by pollution and some species have shown signs of pansteatitis. Fish are also considered as an indispensable source of protein for humans, and the consumption and health of fish will have a direct impact on human health. The risk associated with consuming fish should thus form part of the constant monitoring of aquatic ecosystem health and is a prominent focus area of our research.

The Chair hosted several national and international researchers during research visits in 2019. Most of these were arranged by Dr Halajian and all researchers gave talks at the Parasitology Lab. These talks were attended by staff from UL as well as pupils from local schools exposing them to research related science topics. Dr Halajian also visited several local schools promoting science education.

Publications by members and co-workers of the SARChI Research Chair in 2019 included a redescription of a digenean, lipidomics for wildlife disease aetiology and metal levels in fish, as well as new geographical records for parasites with several presentations at national and international conferences. Prof Luus-Powell gave a keynote talk at PARSA 2019 in Namibia and members from the Chair hosted a national conference (SASAqS 2019). The achievements of the SARChI Research Chair could not have been possible without the unwavering support from management, co-workers and SMLS colleagues.

DST/NRF SARChI Research Chair in Computational Modelling of Materials, Prof Phuti Ngoepe (NRF Rated C1)

The SARCHi in Computational Modelling of Materials is held by Prof PE Ngoepe. The main projects at the Centre were: Computational modelling of energy storage materials; Tertiary Education Support Programme Project; the Royal Society Newton Fellowship; Titanium Competency Centre Grant; phase stability of shape memory PtTi alloys and Titanium Metal Clusters; South African Minerals to Metals Research Initiative; BGRIMM, University of Cape Town, University of Limpopo, Mineral Processing Collaboration and Global Challenge Research Forum; Synchroton Techniques for African Research and Technology.

Land Bank Research Chair in Agriculture, Professor Phatu Mashela (NRF Rated C3)

The Land Bank Chair is a prestigious accolade held by Prof Phatu Mashela of the School of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences. The overall objectives of the chair are to:

 Contribute to the development of resource-poor farmers in Limpopo Province.  Improve food production and security of small-scale communities in this sector through the development of low-input and environmentally friendly strategies for the management of crop/ animal pests, and

 Provide a platform for the dissemination of these sustainable management strategies for resource-poor farmers through supporting postgraduate students involved in research that support the vision of the Chair.

6. RATED RESEARCHERS

The NRF rating system is a key driver in the NRF’s aim to build a globally competitive science system in South Africa. It is a valuable tool for benchmarking the quality of researchers against the best in the world. NRF ratings are allocated based on a researcher’s recent research outputs and impact as perceived by peer reviewers. The rating system encourages researchers to publish high-quality outputs in high impact journals/outlets. It is based primarily on the quality and impact of research outputs over the past eight years, taking into consideration the evaluation made by local and international peers. It identifies researchers who count among the leaders in their fields of expertise and gives recognition to those who constantly produce high-quality research outputs. Among other instruments, UL uses the NRF evaluation and rating process to measure the University’s research standing.

In 2019, UL boasted a total of 21 rated researchers

Prof Ian Cook, joined the Department of Kinesiology and Physical Education (DKPE) as a junior lecturer in the then the University of the North (now University of Limpopo (UL)) in 1995. With the restructuring of the University of the North to the University of Limpopo, the DKPE was subsumed into the Department of Education Studies, where he now resides. His current research interest and expertise is in the use of objective monitoring of physical activity, sleep and sedentary behaviour in free- living populations.

He successfully developed the Exercise Physiology Laboratory such that by 1998 the DKPE was awarded Bronze Status by the Sports Information and Science Agency for the High-Performance Programme (1998). In the subsequent years, this laboratory has developed into a research-focused facility (Physical Activity Epidemiology Laboratory (PAEL)) through research funds obtained from the Medical Research Council (MRC), the National Research Foundation (NRF) and UL. Through the PAEL, a fruitful relationship was established with the INDEPTH Dikgale Health and Demographic Surveillance System site (DHDSS) and continues with the DIMAMO Population Health Research Centre (DPHRC). Through these collaborations, Prof Cook has received NRF C-rating since 2013 (currently C3) and publishes regularly in national and international journals. To date, he has published 24 papers in accredited national and international journals. Also, he reviews regularly for national and international journals. He has received R1.6 million through the NRF Competitive Programme for Rated Researchers funding programme, and with colleagues attracted funding from the NRF Institutional Research Development Programme and Thuthuka Programme.

Through the close collaboration with the DHDSS, Prof Cook became part of the UL site investigator team for the internationally-funded AWIGen Phase 1 and 2 projects, which now continues under the auspices of the DPHRC. More recently, through the initiative of Prof Cook, the PAEL and DPHRC have become part of the international ProPASS Research Consortium, which will provide the initial equipment and training required to collect longitudinal, objectively-measured sleep, sedentary and physical activity data.

Prof Cook served on the NRF Specialist Committee for Health Sciences 1 Rating Panel and was appointed as co-convenor. He has also served on the Turfloop Research Ethics Committee and continues to serve on the Faculty of Humanities Higher Degrees and Ethics Committee, and the Faculty of Humanities Multimodal Teaching and Learning and ICT Committee.

Prof Cook has contributed significantly in terms of curriculum development and content teaching in the area of the Physical/Physiological Basis of Physical Education.

Prof Susan Dippenaar’s research interests focus on the taxonomy and systematics of small invertebrates and lies specifically within marine invertebrates, more specifically, the symbiotic Siphonostomatoida (Copepoda). She started to work on the symbiotic siphonostomatoids of elasmobranchs caught in the nets of the KwaZulu-Natal Sharks Board during 1995 and received funding from the Irish Government and the WO Neitz Memorial Scholarship in Parasitology to visit Dr George Benz at the Southeast Aquatic Research Institute of the Tennessee Museum in Chattanooga during January 1999. Dr Benz was a world-renowned copepodologist. He taught her how to work with these small organisms and shared his expertise in the group with her. Prof Dippenaar has been a member of the World Association of Copepodologists since 1999. In 2001, she received a Fulbright Scholarship to work in the laboratory of

Dr Keith Crandall at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. During those eight months, she learned to use molecular techniques to estimate phylogenetic relationships of the siphonostomatoid individuals and spent the last month with Dr George Benz again. In 2004, Prof Dippenaar graduated and received a PhD for the study entitled: “Copepod parasites of elasmobranchs off South Africa”. She subsequently received the Senior WO Neitz Medal for her thesis from the Parasitological Society of southern Africa. To date, she authored and co-authored more than 41 scientific papers (mostly on symbiotic copepods and delivered several presentations at both national and international conferences on the subject). Her current research also includes freshwater free-living copepods and she continues to train postgraduate students in the scarce skills to work with small invertebrates and to pay attention to the detail needed to illustrate, describe and identify these organisms. To date, she has supervised/co-supervised 22 Honours mini-dissertations and 08 MSc dissertations of students that already graduated. She received an NRF rating for the first time in 2005. She currently is a C2 NRF-rated researcher.

Prof Wilmien Luus-Powell received her BSc degree in Zoology from UJ (then RAU) in 1992, BSc Hons in 1994 and MSc in Parasitology from the same university in 1997. She obtained her PhD in 2004 at UL on metazoan parasites of mormyrid fishes. Her research has focused on aquatic ecosystem health including biomarkers of fish health; metal levels in fish and the human health risk associated with consuming contaminated fish; water and sediment quality; stable isotopes in aquatic food webs; parasite diversity and the effect of parasites on their host; new parasite species descriptions and biology of selected parasites. She has been teaching undergraduate and Hons (Parasitology) level for more than 24 years. Prof Luus-Powell has supervised more than 50 postgraduate students (Hons to PhD level) with more than 75 scientific papers and technical reports published. She received funding from the NRF, CSIR, WRC, VLIR-OUS and DSI-NRF SARChI for various research projects. She is a C3 NRF rated scientist and serves as a reviewer for several journals and external examiner for national and international 15

institutions. She was also an Associate Editor for African Journal of Aquatic Science from 2016 – 2018. She received the Vice-Chancellor’s Research Award for ‘Best Established Researcher’ in the School of Molecular and Life Sciences in 2013 and ‘Best Overall Researcher’ of UL in 2016.

Prof Solomon Mashegoane is the Head of the Department of Psychology and he is rated as NRF C3 researcher. His research focus has been mostly on psychometrics. Prof Mashegoane researches in the areas of health risk behaviour, covering behaviours such as sexual risk. Currently, he has an interest in researching about eating patterns and body satisfaction.

He has published two book chapters with four more book chapters published as part of various psychology conference proceedings. To date, Prof Mashegoane has authored and co-authored 25 articles published in various journals and has presented 45 papers at national and international psychology and philosophy conferences.

He obtained his PhD in Psychology from the University of Limpopo in 2012 and is linked to the Journal of Psychology as an Associate Editor and the African Journal of Psychological Assessment as an Executive Editor.

Over and above, Professor Mashegoane has supervised four PhD candidates, 33 Master's and numerous Honours' students.

Prof Phatu Mashela heads the Green Biotechnologies Research Centre of Excellence (GBRCE). The GBRCE research and develop quantitative standards about nematode-plant- phytonematicide relations for registration authorities at a global level. The equations included (1) Mean concentration stimulation point (MCSP = Dm + (Rh/2), (2) application interval of

phytonematicides (AIP): AIP = (weeks/month) × nematode life cycle in days, (3) application frequency of phytonematicides (AFP): AFP = crop life cycle (days)/AIP (days), (4) dosage model (D): D = MCSP (%) × AFP, (5) the shelf-life of phytonematicides and (6) effects of phytonematicides at nematode physiological level. Most derived procedures are already used in commercial farming systems and could also be used in the registration of traditional medicines. The empirically-derived equations contribute to business- and policy-making decisions on uses of cucurbitacin- containing phytonematicides, especially during the certification process, where standardisation procedures with “scientific merit” had been lacking. A molecular laboratory was established at the Centre, making it possible to publish two articles in PLOS ONE and one in Scientific Reports. The Centre produced 14 accredited journal articles, 1 book chapter, 26 conferences presentations, with 10 MSc graduating. The Research was funded by Agricultural Research Council, Potato South Africa, DAFF, VLIR-IUC and NRF. Also, the Faculty provided a postdoctoral fellow, with only two positions filled out of the 2018-approved eight research positions, while 6 are filled on a temporary basis.

Prof Peter Masoko currently serves as a Research Professor in the Faculty of Science and Agriculture. In 2019, he successfully supervised one (01) doctoral, three (03) Masters and two (02) honours students to completion and also supervised two (02) Doctoral and four (04) Master’s students on an ongoing basis. One PhD, two MSc and two Honours are expected to graduate in 2020. He has also published eight (08) scientific articles in various DHET accredited journals; he has been the principal author or co-author of eight (08) national and international conference research paper or poster presentations. Current research interests include evaluation of the antibacterial, antifungal, antimycobacterial, anti-inflammatory and cytotoxic effects of plant extracts and purified compounds derived from plants. In 2019, key projects under his supervision were in vitro screening programmes, using the ethnobotanical (plant selection based on traditional use) approach, which is important in validating the 17

traditional use of herbal remedies and for providing leads in the search for new active principles. A large proportion of the materia medica of southern African traditional medicine that has not been investigated scientifically about safety and efficacy. That was addressed by thorough and intensive screening, compound isolation and identification programme. Professor Kotsedi Daniel Monyeki has been the principal investigator of the Ellisras Longitudinal Study (ELS) from 1996 to date. The ELS is based on the ideas of Amsterdam Growth and Health Longitudinal Study and hosted its first biannual international conference in 2017. He changed his career from lecturer to a specialist scientist in the Chronic Diseases of Lifestyle Unit, Medical Research Council (MRC), Cape Town and additionally studied for Masters of Public Health at the University of Cape Town (2002 to 2010). The International Council of Science Union National Board of South Africa appointed him to accompany the South African National Committee for IUNS to the General Assembly and Congress as part of the National Research Foundation’s (NRF) capacity building programme to Mozambique scientists. Dan completed Level 3 Anthropometrist at Adelaide University, Australia (1998) and Summer Graduation Course in Epidemiology, Michigan University, USA (2001) funded by NRF and MRC.

He has recently been invited to contribute on the perspective, Roadmap on Oxide Gas Sensors for Chinese Chemical Letters. He has also contributed to several international conferences.

Prof Ngoni Moyo is a scientist involved in Aquaculture Research. In 2019, Prof Moyo continued to research on ways of boosting fish immunity using locally available ingredients. A paper in a highly regarded international journal was published. The paper looked at the effect of A.afra on growth and some innate immunological parameters in C.gariepinus challenged with A.hydrophila. The use of A.afra as an immune-stimulant is highly recommended. Prof Moyo also investigated ways of reducing the cost of fish feed by replacing fish meal with mopane worm meal. This work was also published in a highly regarded international journal. The paper focusses on enzyme activity and histological analysis of C.gariepinus fed on mopane worm meal. Prof Moyo is a recipient of a Water Research Commission grant. Under the auspices of the Water Research Commission, the pollution levels in the Sand River were evaluated. This work was also published in a top international journal.

8. FACULTY RESEARCH DAYS

UL has in the past 10 years adopted a research development strategy where every Faculty hosts an event known as the ‘Faculty Research Day’ (FRD). The FRDs take the format of a formal research conference setting which brings together postgraduate students (that is; Honours, Master’s, and Doctoral researchers) and academics to explore key issues and developments in field-specific research, theory and practice. Each conference is organised and run by a team of Faculty Members, who are also involved in matters of research development within the Faculties. All FRDs includes a keynote presentation in some cases expert panel debates and papers presented in parallel sessions as well as poster exhibitions. All the events are concluded by the hosting of a Gala Dinner where prizes in the various categories of participation are awarded.

It is believed that these opportunities present a platform for emerging researchers (postgraduate students and early career staff) to 1) meet and interact with peers, 2) meet established professionals/ advanced researchers in their various fields, 3) and more specifically, to get the feel of the ‘conference platform’ and overcome their fears. For these reasons, FRDs continued in 2019 as follows:

As in previous academic years, the FRD in the Faculty of Humanities was held under the Umbrella of the name ‘Annual Spring Lectures Conference’. The 2019 event took place from the 3rd to 5th September. The theme of the event was “Where is the voice of the marginal? Voicelessness and fledging-gendered perspectives”. Three keynote speakers were invited to the conference. Professor Kgomotso Micheal Masemola a professor of English Literature at UNISA, Professor Thulani Zengele head of Quality Assurance and Enhancement as well as senior Professor in the College of Education (UNISA) and Professor Siphamandla Zondi Head of Department of Political Science at the University of Pretoria.

The annual spring lectures culminated into a Gala dinner where the following people were recognised for their excellence in research through various awards:

Staff members

 Emerging Researcher: Prof ST Bopape (Languages and Communication)  Best Researcher in the School: Prof T Muswede (Languages and Communication)  Community Engagement Scholar: Mr MP Matjila (Languages and Communication)

16. PUBLICATIONS

In terms of publications, the University submitted a claim of a combined total of 411, 91 units to the Department of Higher Education for the 2019 academic year. The distribution of publications authored by UL academics made up the following totals:

Output Type Units Journal Articles 349,04 Conference Proceedings 29,08 Book Chapters 21.29 Books 12.50 Total 411,91

The 2019 claim increased by 8.94 percent from the previous year’s claim which was awarded by the DHET at 0344.29. For this report, we further compared the units claimed per category of output type per Faculty observed in the last three years (2017 – 2019). The comparisons are illustrated below as follows:

Figure 2: Journal Publications over the past three years ending 2019

Journal publications were generally low in 2017, but have been gradually increasing in the last three years. In particular, all Faculties registered a remarkable increase in the 2018 academic year. Although there seems to have been a negligible decline across Faculties, the general upwards trend was fairly maintained in 2019. The next Figure illustrates a similar comparison for book chapters.

Figure 3: Book Chapters Publications over the past three years ending 2019

Over the period there has been an erratic performance in the production of this type of output. Similar to the journal articles, book chapters were noticeably low in the first year (2017), but generally improved remarkably in the second year (2018) of the period. Unlike what has been observed with the journals, the trend was not maintained in the year under review (2019). The Figure that follows illustrates a similar appraisal for conference proceedings during the period.

Figure 4: Conference Proceedings over the past three years ending 2019

Over the past three years, there was a similar observation to that of book chapters in the production of this type of output. The increase which was observed in 2018 was not maintained in 2019.

It is important to note that the general increase in output was due to a remarkable improvement in the production of peer-reviewed journal articles. Hence, we may conclude that the University continues to strive to achieve its strategic objective of “producing quality research output”. The comprehensive list of output produced in DHET accredited research platforms is provided in the section that follows hereunder. It should be noted that the list includes some 2018 publications which were not claimed in the previous year and were still eligible for submission to the DHET for subsidy purposes.

17. KEY CHALLENGES AND INTERVENTIONS

The main challenges that are believed to have hindered research efforts in different Faculties at the Universities include: a) Low level of conversion of students’ thesis to journal articles b) Low level of conference participation by academics in 2019 c) Non-participation of some academics in vibrant research publication d) Little effort toward book chapter/book publications e) Lack of sufficient research funding for willing researchers – even funding from the main source, the NRF continues to dwindle. f) Lack of interest by some academics in improving their research profiles. g) Low participation by female academic staff in research-related activities h) The inability of researchers to source funds for supporting postgraduate study i) Delays in the ethical clearance processes j) Ineffective supervision provided to students k) Limited experience senior academic staff members making it difficult to cope with the supervision of Masters and Doctoral students l) General non-adherence to CPASA requirements by students and supervisors m) The existing staff members continue to be overburdened by teaching and administrative responsibilities and this hampers the research potential.

153

To address these challenges holistically the University continued to implement research development plans that are informed by the operationalization of UL’s strategic goal #5 of the UL2023. Some of the activities for intervention include:

a) Ensuring consistent performance within and across Schools concerning research productivity and output, and examining the impediments to this performance and to devise a strategy to address these and to provide support where significant obstacles exist; b) Providing support and alignment of UL approved Research Niche Areas across the Faculty where possible; c) Pursuing various levels of co-funding opportunities in the service of postgraduate students; d) Broadening the base of existing research funds available in the Faculties, by sourcing external funding opportunities with greater deliberately and frequency; e) Maintaining and nurturing the research environment within the University; f) Establishing a University-wide support framework and environment for NRF- researchers and prospective NRF applicants. This involved support of staff who were considering making NRF applications through institutional workshops and through inviting external academics who have intimate knowledge of the NRF- Rating System to deliver workshops and seminars on the process. g) Establishing post-graduate studies support and supervisory capacity-building tools. h) Identifying and supporting emerging (developing) researchers across all the Schools. One of the main instruments included the allocation of mentors for emerging researchers.
