| Outputs are important! |
HSRC Research Outputs, the intellectual property of the HSRC, is managed by the research outputs function within the eResearch Knowledge Centre, namely Digital Scholarship Services. This service ensures the efficient provision of research output information by accurately capturing the publications of HSRC researchers and operational staff and disseminating it through various platforms. Electronic copies are also stored for further use and preservation. Various reporting activities, throughout the financial year, make use of the information in the Research Outputs module, such as the Annual Report and LeaPPT+S reports. The HSRC intranet, HSRC website and the HSRC Research Output Repository, are populated with the research outputs collection showcasing the HSRC’s research globally.
