CLICK to view a visualisation of UJ’s growth in research publications output units relative to the rest of the South African Higher Education Institution (HEI) sector. In May 2024, UJ submitted a total of 5 502 publications, authored in 2023 and worth 3 293 units, to DHET for accreditation and subsidy. Journal articles, books, and chapters continue to comprise an increasing component of UJ’s research output, while conference proceedings make up a declining percentage of the overall submission. Over 97% of the journal article units submitted originate from publications in internationally indexed journals, with the majority, 74%, appearing in the prestigious Scopus international publication and citation database. What is particularly pleasing is that the per capita research publications output for UJ is also increasing. Says Professor Refilwe Phaswana-Mafuya, Deputy Vice- Chancellor of Research and Innovation: “This trend underscores the University’s growing research capacity and productivity. At a per capita value of 2.35 units per scholar, UJ retains the number one position nationally, scoring significantly above the sector average of 1.14, and that of the second most productive institution at 2.01. The increase in per capita output reflects our university’s commitment to fostering a culture of research excellence and innovation.”

OVER 97% OF THE JOURNAL ARTICLE UNITS SUBMITTED ORIGINATE FROM PUBLICATIONS IN INTERNATIONALLY INDEXED JOURNALS, WITH THE MAJORITY, 74%, APPEARING IN THE PRESTIGIOUS SCOPUS INTERNATIONAL PUBLICATION AND CITATION DATABASE. WHAT IS PARTICULARLY PLEASING IS THAT THE PER CAPITA RESEARCH PUBLICATIONS OUTPUT FOR UJ IS ALSO INCREASING.
