The scientific publication target is based on one publication by the senior scientists per year which is the accepted norm for scientists. However, the outputs per year are variable, and this is even less predictable quarterly. There are a number of lags in the system of peer-reviewed publication, including • Time from research conceptualisation to field work / data collection, analysis, write-up and submission is highly variable, depending on the nature of the research • The scientific peer review process can take very long, with multiple rejections and resubmissions, or simply corrections and/or review rebuttals required Scientists works on more than one publication simultaneously which caused a number of publications to come out simultaneously. Scientists also work with non-SANParks scientists as co-authors.
