Knowledge generation<br />

Research outputs<br />

In <strong>2011</strong> <strong>the</strong>re was a significant increase in outputs in <strong>the</strong><br />

form of books, book chapters and conference proceedings,<br />

with a slight decline in journal papers. The number<br />

of research outputs is important for <strong>Unisa</strong> as it determines<br />

<strong>the</strong> subsidy that is earned for <strong>the</strong> university which<br />

in turn influences <strong>the</strong> cost units that are made available<br />

to colleges for staffing.<br />

Research outputs 2005 – <strong>2011</strong><br />

[Note: The <strong>2011</strong> figures are provisional as research outputs are still being captured and have not yet been audited.]<br />

In <strong>2011</strong> <strong>the</strong>re was 1 515 permanent academic staff,<br />

which equates to a research output per capita of 0.49.<br />

This is similar to 2010. The <strong>Unisa</strong> Press plays a major<br />

role in dissemination of knowledge through <strong>the</strong> publication<br />

of books and journals. In <strong>2011</strong>, 35 journals and<br />

40 books were published and without <strong>the</strong>se channels,<br />

<strong>the</strong> number of research outputs would have been much<br />

lower.
