Online platforms to support emerging academics and researchers

Earlier this year, Universities South Africa and the Department of Science and Innovation launched two online platforms designed as support interventions for emerging academics and researchers in the university sector.  Thuso Resources is a free online repository of vital information resources, modules and programmes that have been selectively gathered from contributing universities and other sources and made available for capacity building and career development of individuals in the budding stages of their academic and research careers. Thuso Connect , the second platform, is intended to connect early career scholars and researchers with experienced mentors to support them on their academic journey. The platforms are part of the Advancing Early Career Research and Scholarship (AECRS) Programme. 

New SU thesis and dissertation title page design

SU students who submit their final thesis or dissertation to SUNScholar after the examination process must use the new SU thesis or dissertation title page template for their title page. All theses and dissertations submitted to SUNScholar must conform to this requirement by the December 2023 graduation.   The new thesis and dissertation title page templates are housed on the SUNScholar webpage under "Step 1: Student prepares document." The webpage can be accessed  HERE .

• A beginner’s guide to avoiding ‘predatory’ journals-using your critical thinking skills You may have heard a lot about the dangers of so-called ‘predatory’[1] journals from your colleagues, your supervisor, or in online forums and webpages. Such journals often charge a fee for fast publication but have poor publishing practices, fail to carry out legitimate peer review, and fake their inclusion in important indexes. You should avoid publishing your research in these journals, or you could risk ruining your reputation or career. But there is often unclear and conflicting advice on how to tell a credible journal from a ‘predatory’ one, even from experienced researchers and supervisors.
