Good writing and effective communication are the cornerstone of academia. In southern Africa, many students often study in their second, third or fourth language – requiring additional writing support. The Dirisana+ project aims to provide support through writing centres, as well as aiding in the creation of an online journal platform for undergraduate researchers in health sciences.
Through a collaborative editorial board consisting of members from the University of Pretoria, Sefako Makgatho Health Sciences University, University of the Witwatersrand, University of Namibia, and Welwitchia Health Training Centre, an undergraduate research journal has been launched with support from the Dirisana+ project. The first issue launched in March 2023 with six articles. The journal encourages undergraduate health sciences students and recent graduates to showcase their work and only publishes manuscripts written collaboratively by undergraduate students and academics.
