SUBMISSION OF RESEARCH OUTPUTS PUBLISHED IN 2021  

(Journal Articles, Conference Proceedings, Book Chapters and Whole Books)

 

The closing date for submission of outputs is 28 February 2022

 

The Research Publication Management System (RPMS) is now open for the submission of research outputs with publication date 2021.  A motivation for late claim is required where publication year is 2020. 

 

Before loading your publication consult the documents under Files you can download

  • User Guide to loading publications on RPMS (includes books, chapters, proceedings & journals)
  • For Books & Chapters, consult the abbreviated guidelines for submission of DHET subsidy.
  • For Conference Proceedings, consult the abbreviated guidelines for published conference proceedings for DHET subsidy.

 

The functionality of the RPMS remains unchanged and there are three critical components for uploading outputs successfully.  These are

  1. Publication information (the actual output being submitted)
  2. Author information (if Nelson Mandela University affiliation for internal authors is not on the publication, a letter explaining how the work was conducted or supported at Mandela University should be attached).  Please note: For Post-doc, select as Student and then select the Academic Title as, Other (Post-doc)
  3. Compulsory attachments and supporting documentation (Under Files you can download, see examples of Evidence of Compliance, Publisher peer-review process & Statement of Research Contribution)

 

It is important to collect all required documentation before attempting to upload the publication because the functionality to save and submit later does not yet exist on the RPMS.  Remember always to scroll all the way to the right of the screen to ensure that all fields have been completed.
