Supercharged by the AI moment that we are in, the steady march of digital transformation in society over the last three decades is primed for rapid evolution. What is true for society, is also doubly so for research. Alongside ground-breaking research and discoveries is the constant invitation to adapt to new knowledge and abilities. Combine the general imperative within the research sector to innovate with the rapidly evolving capabilities of generative AI and it is safe to say that expectations are high. Taking effective advantage of new possibilities as they arise however, requires successful coordination within society and systems. At Digital Science, we have always sought to be an integral part of research transformation, aiming to provide products that enable the research sector to evolve research practice – from collaboration and discovery through to analytics and administration. Our ability to serve clients from research institutions to funders, publishers, and industry has placed us in a unique position to facilitate change across the sector, not simply within silos, but between them.Item Transition to Open Science: HEIs, National, and Global Perspective(University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, 2024-09) Matizirofa, Lazarus GallantNot available.Item Library at the crossroads of AI technology?(University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, 2024-04) Selemetsela, Daisy; Matizirofa, Lazarus GallantAbstract is not availableItem Impact and knowledge dissemination: sharing your research using Open Research(er) Visibility Tools – with elements of Dr Nader Ale Ebrahim’s view(University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, 2024) Matizirofa, Lazarus GallantAbstract is not availableItem Predatory Journals and Selecting your Journal of Choice(University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, 2024) Jugdav, Suren K.A predatory journal is usually a journal that has no verifiable academic credentials, and as such these journals are managed by editorial boards whose subject and disciplinary coverage is questionable.
