Abstract

Abstract This article documents the impact of electronic resources utilization on research productivity in Tanzania universities. To examine the impact of e-resources on research productivity, a structured questionnaire and semi-structured interviews were simultaneously used to collect both quantitative and qualitative data. The study reveals that increased access to electronic research materials has an insignificant impact on research productivity. The low publications rate among the faculty members who participated in the present study is one of the indicators of ineffective utilization of the resources in research productivity. This has an adverse effect on the visibility of the universities as far as the research output is concerned.

坦桑尼亚大学电子资源利用对科研生产力的影响

摘要本文记录了坦桑尼亚大学电子资源利用对科研生产力的影响。为了检验电子资源对科研生产力的影响，我们同时采用结构化问卷和半结构化访谈的方式收集定量和定性数据。研究表明，电子研究材料获取的增加对研究生产力的影响不显著。参与本研究的教师发表率低是研究生产力资源利用效率低下的指标之一。就研究产出而言，这对大学的知名度产生了不利影响。
