The rating system developed by the National Research Foundation (NRF) is a valuable tool for measuring the quality of South African researchers against the best in the world.
Individuals are rated according to the quality and impact of their research over the past 8 years.
A-rated researchers
An A-rating is given to researchers who are recognised by their peers as leading international scholars in their field, and for the high quality and impact of their recent research.
P-rated researchers
A P-rating is given to young researchers, usually younger than 35, who have the potential to become leaders in their field.
B, C and Y-rated researchers
B-rated researchers enjoy considerable international recognition by their peers for the high quality and impact of their recent research.
C-rated researchers are established researchers with a sustained recent record of productivity in their field.
Y-rated researchers are 40 years of age or younger, who have held a doctorate or equivalent qualification for 5 years at the time of application, and who are recognised as having the potential to establish themselves within a 5-year period of the evaluation.
