Designed as a tool for emerging researchers and their mentors, this book provides strategies for research growth in areas such as understanding the relationship between teaching and research; obtaining higher degrees; producing peer- reviewed research output; generating and managing research funding; effective research planning; engaging in interdisciplinary research; and postgraduate supervision. It addresses three primary readerships: institutions, mentors of new or inexperienced academics and emerging researchers themselves. It is set in an African context, addressing topics and challenges relevant across the continent.
