    Reflecting Management Priorities In Research Data
    (2021-04-09) Morrison, Monica
    Poster summarising findings of a 2014-15 study, Communicating Wildlife Research in Northern Botswana, carried out as part of Stellenbosch University CREST PhD in Science and Technology Studies. Presented at Africa Rising conference, Africa Rising: Mobilising Biodiversity Data for Sustainable Development, which took place in Cape Town, South Africa from 19 to 22 May 2015. Data collected and used in current wildlife research in northern Botswana appears to increasingly reflect the priorities of the country’s principal wildlife steward, the DWNP. While available open data is well used, development of local repositories needed to facilitate the broader scale analysis identified as a need by the Department of Wildlife and National Park’s new strategic plan is limited, supported mainly by short-term project funding. This needs to be remedied to ensure the applicability of research findings to effective wildlife management.

    Research Capacity - Reality, Equality, Equity
    (2021-09-06) Havemann, Jo
    At Access 2 Perspectives, we understand global equity in scholarly communication as the opportunity for researchers from around the world to be able to consume and share research output based on Open Science, FAIR and CARE principles. Since research capacity varies drastically within and across world regions, local conditions such as available funding, research infrastructure, or internet connectivity should not interfere with the potential of academic success. The boxes represent accessibility and availability to the aforementioned resources, the sizes of the boxes vary per high-, middle- or low resource research institution. The threshold (dashed line) is where research effectiveness begins, given that a certain number of resources and capacity is present. Effectiveness means societal impact, as a result of research findings and being able to make research output available to other stakeholders (industry, the general public, other researchers, etc.) The grey area now shows that research institutions with limited access to resources cannot be effective in their research. However, embracing Open Science practices (publishing green OA via preprint servers, choosing affordable journals or those that provide diamond OA, as well as Open Peer Review) can compensate for the lack of resources and therefore provide effectiveness for research even in resource-poor settings.

    Two Communities, or Community of Practice? Communicating Wildlife Rsearch in Northern Botswana
    (2021-04-19) Morrison, Monica
    Selected research outputs, research permits, management documents, and interviews indicate that Botswana wildlife research stakeholders make up an identifiable community of practice, characterized by mutual engagement, joint enterprise, and shared repertoire. Communication, within this community of practice, and to outside actors, however, should be strengthened, to both inform debate and to allow findings to be put to more use in continuously improving management of wildlife resources.
