CONTENTS OF A RESEARCH REPORT

The information in the first part of this section, Journal Articles, Books, Chapters in Books, Peer Reviewed Published Conference Proceedings, Non-peer Reviewed Published Conference Proceedings is filtered and extracted to formulate the Preliminary Publication Count for the Department of Education. This is a crucial step in the subsidy calculation process and it is of the utmost importance that this information must be as comprehensive accurate as possible. All research publications, which appeared in 2004, must be included, even if they are "in press". There will be an opportunity early in February to submit volume and page numbers of papers, which have appeared in the interim. Publications should be listed using the Harvard referencing system, without using italics or bold. Journal names must appear in full. Abbreviations will be returned to departments for expansion. (Theses passed for higher degrees are subsidy earning but this information is not included in the Preliminary Publication Count.)

The second part of this section, Published Conference Abstracts, Patents, Theses & Dissertations passed for Higher Degrees, University Publications & Publications of a Popular Nature - Unrefereed Journal Articles, Newspaper Articles, CD's, Online Works, Extension and Development Work, Creative Work, Consultancy and Other Activities based on Expertise Developed in Research (gives departments the opportunity to demonstrate the extent and nature of their extension and development work), Motivation for the addition of a South African Journal to the list of South African approved journals. The work included here is not subsidy earning but nevertheless is an important aspect of scholarly activity at UCT.

JOURNAL ARTICLES

This category covers all articles in journals. Articles fall into 2 categories - those for which the university earns subsidy and are published in 'approved' journals; and those for which the university does not get a subsidy. Please ensure that journal names appear in full and points below are clearly stated when submitting.

EXTENSION AND DEVELOPMENT WORK (UNPUBLISHED)

This section gives researchers the opportunity to report briefly on their unpublished extension and development work. It should include only completed work, and not reports or drafts intended for publication as formal papers at a later date. Each item should include some indication of its recipient or ultimate location. What should be included must be documents; CD-ROMs, etc. should be listed.

CREATIVE WORKS, PERFORMANCES, EXHIBITIONS

This section includes original musical, dramatic and other artistic works, or new productions of existing works. Each item can include a very brief note about its significance. The "creation" of course notes, academic programme plans, technical devices etc. does not qualify.

CONSULTANCY AND OTHER ACTIVITIES BASED ON EXPERTISE DEVELOPED IN RESEARCH

This section should include short descriptions of the nature of the activity and the output. Please keep this brief. Please refer to the 2001, 2002 or 2003 Research Reports as a guide.
