This may be for internal reporting purposes, for capacity development purposes and for collaboration purposes. Furthermore, the systems enable Output Capturing and Recording by generating a notice to be disseminated globally for researchers to submit all output and supporting documentation. In addition, it enables researchers to search for other researchers in any institutions in the country and collaborate on research with anyone in the world.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Link to <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/spu.sarms.africa\/\">SARMS<\/a><\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-3252\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-3252\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-right\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-caret-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Postgraduate Student Tracking Function<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-3252\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-3252\"><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The SARMS enables the monitoring, tracking and support of P\/G students through their research lifecycle from registration to graduation.
