Publication Guidelines
Annual Research Report collation and subsidisation processes
Publications are annually submitted online to:
- Collate the Annual Research Report (copies found athttp://www.ru.ac.za/research/research/annualresearchreports)
- Collate the submission of potentially subsidised research outputs to DHET.
All researches and academics must complete the online data capture process under their relevant department. As this is an annual once-off process of data capture, each department must submit lists of all research activities of its staff and postgraduate students. Listed below are links to the online Research Report data capture system including guidelines on how to use the system, the form to be submitted by the departmental HOD when all data has been captured online, and other relevant forms.
Included here are the lists of JOURNALS which attract subsidy, annually updated with data from the Department of Higher Education and Training. Similarly, there are links to information on what to consider when BOOKS and CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS are to be submitted for possible subsidisation by the Department of Higher Education and Training.
The Online Data Capture for all research outputs is completed at:

Journals Attracting Subsidisation
Please check ALL of the lists below to see whether your journal article earns subsidy from the Department of Higher Education and Training – ONLY journals listed on one of these lists will currently earn subsidy. Note: there are South African journals which are not listed on any of the ISI / IBSS lists but which do in fact earn subsidy. For this reason please do not forget to check the Approved South African Journal Lists.
