Journal of Engineering Education Transformations

Abstract

Digitalisation is also transforming research in ways that are common to other domains of social interaction but are very pronounced since the scientific community is highly interconnected globally. The survey show that the use of digital productivity and collaboration tools is more intense within Higher education institutions and small economies, and it is associated with higher rates of personal scientific collaboration and productivity. Online identity is important for UG, PG and researchers because a significant but incomplete part of their science- related activities leave a digital trace. In turn, this digital footprint supports the production of metrics that researchers use to inform decisions that impact on their teaching and learning careers, such as hiring and promotion decisions in universities.
