  • Assessing the Visitor and Animal Outcomes of a Zoo Encounter and Guided Tour Program with Ambassador Cheetahs

    Open AccessKatherine M Whitehouse-Tedd, Katherine Whitehouse‐tedd et al.ARTICLEAnthrozoös2022Cited by: 1References: 35

    Research into the effectiveness of zoo Ambassador Animal Programs (AAPs) has typically investigated human or animal factors separately. This study took a multi-dimensional approach and aimed primarily to (1) determine whether change in visitor knowledge was influenced by the type of experience undertaken and (2) assess welfare indicators in ambassador cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus) during encounter and non-encounter periods at a South African zoolog…

  • Do open access journal articles experience a citation advantage? Results and methodological reflections of an application of multiple measures to an analysis by WoS subject areas

    Open AccessIsabel Basson, Jaco P Blanckenberg et al.ARTICLEScientometrics2021

    This study is one of the first that uses the recently introduced open access (OA) labels in the Web of Science (WoS) metadata to investigate whether OA articles published in Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) listed journals experience a citation advantage in comparison to subscription journal articles, specifically those of which no self-archived versions are available. Bibliometric data on all articles and reviews indexed in WoS, and publ…

  • Mobility, Gender and Career Development in Higher Education

    Open AccessHeidi Prozesky, Catherine BeaudryARTICLESocial Sciences2019Cited by: 2References: 21

    Empirical knowledge of the mobility of African scientists, and women scientists in particular, holds an important key to achieving future success in the science systems of the continent. In this article, we report on an analysis of a subset of data from a multi-country survey, in order to address a lack of evidence on the geographic mobility of academic scientists in Africa, and how it relates to gender and career development. First, we compared …

  • Beneficiaries' aspirations to permanent employment within the South African Working for Water Programme

    Jan Anton Hough, Heidi ProzeskyARTICLESocial Dynamics2012Cited by: 1References: 19

    The South African Working for Water (WfW) programme is a short-term public works programme (PWP) focused on clearing invasive alien plants, while training and empowering the marginalised poor to find employment. Furthermore, it aims to develop independent, entrepreneurial contractors who should ‘exit’ from the programme into the broader labour market. However, evidence indicates that many beneficiaries have become financially dependent on this em…

  • A Career-History Analysis of Gender Differences in Publication Productivity among South African Academics

    Open AccessHeidi ProzeskyARTICLEScience & Technology Studies2008

    Decades of research on gender differences in academic publication productivity has as yet provided very little, if any, empirical support for the common sense understanding that a certain measure of incompatibility exists between being a mother and a productive academic researcher. In an attempt to start unravelling the complexity of this productivity puzzle in the South African context, data collected from Curriculum Vitae (CVs) are integrated w…

  • Gender differences in the journal publication productivity of South African academic authors

    Heidi ProzeskyARTICLESociety in Transition2006

    Today one of the most contentious issues within the emerging field of Science and Technology Studies in South Africa relates to the position and participation of women scientists in academia. This paper presents the results of a secondary analysis of data contained in a national database of journal publications and their authors. The objective is to describe the nature and extent of gender differences in journal publication productivity among Sou…
