Policy implications in an African context
• Is there likely to be a shift away from the current scientometrics towards alternative measurement of research performance?
• What are the implications for publishing policy and practice at institutional and national levels?
• What needs to be done about IP policy development and updating?
![Page 24: Policy overview unam 120522](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061115/5461d6cab1af9f86228b4c37/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Measures of national innovation
• Will there be a change in the expectation of patent and copyright production as the core measures of research contribution?
• In that situation, what are the measures that we would like to see – what do we want to measure?
• What reward systems to we need to put in place to back up our strategies?

Will this help us align our strategic research goals with a wider range
of measures?
