My Vision

To expand scholarly horizons by enhancing research integrity and reputable knowledge production through advisory and educational services, and to promote access to knowledge through collaborative projects with international, regional and local partners

How Scholarly Horizons Can Help You.

Academic life in the digital environment has become extremely challenging with a broad range of responsibilities to meet the needs of the 21st century and 4th industrial revolution.  Apart from increasing numbers of students, and blended teaching, supervision and examination responsibilities, academics are under constant pressure to publish more frequently to increase institutional research outputs. In some disciplines, postgraduates are also expected to publish before they graduate.

Excellent writing skills and research integrity are key requirements in all publications, degrees and courses in academia, yet the fundamentals of copyright compliance, citing and referencing, publishing, and research integrity are not always known, applied, or included in course content or training programmes. As a result, standards vary from Faculty to Faculty, institution to institution and country to country.

Scholarly Horizons offers advisory services and tailored educational programmes to help raise awareness and enhance knowledge about the abovementioned topics not only for academia, but for the private and public sectors too.  By engaging in these topics through webinars, workshops and information services, academics and others will expand their scholarly horizons.
