Collaboration in education research from Africa
This paper investigates the dynamics of collaboration by education researchers from Africa to understand better how they navigate competing expectations and prevailing asymmetries in the production of new scientific knowledge. Using OpenAlex data, the study analyzes collaboration types and the author positions of African researchers in the field of education. The results show that single authorship is most common, followed by institutional and in…
Covid-19 and the scientific publishing system
We model the growth of scientific literature related to COVID-19 and forecast the expected growth from 1 June 2021. Considering the significant scientific and financial efforts made by the research community to find solutions to end the COVID-19 pandemic, an unprecedented volume of scientific outputs is being produced. This questions the capacity of scientists, politicians and citizens to maintain infrastructure, digest content and take scientifi…
Framing Covid-19 in the South African News Media
Although research has been done showing how health crises and pandemics are framed in the media, to date, no long-term studies on the framing of the pandemic in the South African media have been found in the literature. Prior research has shown that scientific information and the media play a key role in influencing decision-making and behavioural change and, therefore, its potential to influence the development trajectories of nation-states. Thi…

Reporting preprints in the media during the Covid-19 pandemic
Preprints have gained prominence in the dissemination of scientific findings. This development has been reinforced by the COVID-19 pandemic, which continues to require the rapid dissemination of new scientific information. However, since preprints usually have not undergone peer review, they lack the rigour of other scientific publications such as journal articles. This presents a challenge for the news media tasked with keeping the public inform…
Reflections on the public university sector and the covid-19 pandemic in South Africa
This paper is a personal reflection that seeks to capture most of the observable changes that have taken place in South Africa and in its public university system as a consequence of the sudden and global spread of the novel coronavirus. The purpose for doing so is to provide a record of how the South African university sector has responded to the covid-19 pandemic, based on the assumption that there have been a variety of national and sectoral r…
