Reference Techniques

 

ORCiD (Open Researcher and Contributor IDentifier)

ORCiD provides a persistent 16 digit, unique, digital identifier for researchers and scholars that distinguishes you from every other researcher. They can be used in any institution throughout a researcher’s career life and are interoperable across systems of publishers, funding organizations and research institutions. To get the full benefit of using ORCiDs:

  • Register for an ORCiD
  • Link it to your institution, in this case, the University of Johannesburg
  • Use your ORCiD in your: institutional profile page research outputs when submitting to publish, email signature, conference presentation, media stories, CV, anywhere you have a public profile

Accredited Journals

In South Africa, only articles published in accredited journals are considered for subsidy. Journals included in the DHET list are considered “accredited” and will be taken into account for government subsidy and NRF evaluation.

For any queries regarding the 2024 DHET list, please consult your Faculty.
