SUMMARY:Open Access and the Future of Research Publishing
DESCRIPTION:For the final Community of Practice for Postgraduate Education and Scholarship (CoP PGES) meeting of 2025\, featuring Glenn Truran\, Director of the South African National Library Information Consortium (SANLiC)\, alongside Dr Nokuthula Mchunu (NRF) and Dr Leti Kleyn (UP). \nThis insightful session explored Open Access (OA) research publishing – unpacking how SANLiC’s Read and Publish Agreements are transforming the research landscape in South Africa. Glenn Truran shed light on how researchers can benefit from publishing Open Access without author-facing charges or losing their copyright. \nNews Articles:What researchers need to know about Open Access publishing\, but are afraid to ask Read more > \nEverything Researchers need to know about Open Access publishing: A discussion Read more >

SUMMARY:Progress in Developing Programmes for Training and Supporting Postgraduate Supervisors
DESCRIPTION:The Community of Practice for Postgraduate Education and Scholarship (CoP PGES) convened for a critical discussion focusing on the training and support of supervisors in postgraduate education. \nWe recognise the vital need to provide adequate training and support to supervisors\, although we cannot guarantee the effectiveness of all existing programmes. The discussion will centred on evaluating the progress of current programmes and sharing the insights and lessons learned from their implementation. \nIf you are a supervisor or aspire to become one in the future or are involved in postgraduate education\, scholarship\, and research capacity development\, this discussion is relevant for you.

SUMMARY:Future-Proofing Postgraduate Education in the Age of AI
DESCRIPTION:From summarising literature to writing student text\, from analysing data to generating infographics\, Generative AI offers the means to speed up and enhance the postgraduate research process. But at what cost?\nThis session included hands-on examples of AI tools being used in postgraduate research and raised several ethical considerations that might guide supervisors and academic leaders with these tools.\nWe collectively reflected on what these generative AI tools mean for postgraduate studies\, students’ supervision\, and the knowledge creation and dissemination processes. \n\nRelated Articles\n\nOpen student engagement about AI would be more beneficial than policing them on its use – a senior Rhodes University scholar advises\nSenior academics’ insights shared at the postgraduates and AI workshop

SUMMARY:Effective Mentorship – How to Navigate Mentorship Relationship
DESCRIPTION:To learn more on how our speakers dissected effective mentorship in academia\, read the following articles: \n\nEarly career academics talk about being mentored — what works and what could work better\nEffective mentoring can be about making people independent of any need for guidance\nThere are as many models of mentorship as there are mentors and mentees\, says Professor Stephanie Burton
