NRF Rated Researchers
The National Research Foundation (NRF) rating system is an initiative that aims to build globally competitive scientific research in South Africa. It is a valuable tool for benchmarking the quality of South African researchers against the best in the world. NRF ratings are allocated based on a researcher’s recent research outputs and impact as perceived by international peer reviewers. The rating system encourages researchers to publish high quality outputs in high impact journals/outlets. Rated researchers as supervisors will impart cutting-edge skills to the next generation of researchers.
Categories of NRF Ratings:
- A – Leading international researchers
- B – Internationally acclaimed researchers
- C – Established researchers
- P – Prestigious Awards
- Y – Promising young researchers
