Abstract

Changing pedagogy and rapid growth of commensurate technologies have triggered demand from academic libraries for new research support services such as bibliometrics, data management, digital preservation and curation, open access (OA) and open journal publishing. South African academic libraries have responded, to an extent, to the changing research support needs of their research communities. Some of the mainstream research support services provided by South African academic libraries include bibliometrics, open scholarship services and research data management. There are also some non-typical research support services and/or activities that are provided – these include research landscape analysis, research week and research engagement provision.
