This book provides a comprehensive account of the patterns of university and academics’ societal engagement in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), considering knowledge production and the resulting outputs, outcomes, and benefits that are yielded from such engagement for society.Responding to the call for increased visibility of otherwise marginalised voices in SSA’s extant global literature on knowledge production, chapters in the book explore questions around Knowledge-based Economies and forms of knowledge, and suggest an alternative framework to overcome conventional bias and limits present in prominent concepts, such as National Systems of Innovation, Triple Helix, and Mode 2. Further, the authors examine the main drivers, constraints, and barriers to this engagement, and the typology of those with a vested interest in its development.Ultimately exploring how higher education institutions in SSA engage with, and transfer knowledge to, different external stakeholders, this book will be of value to academics involved with the study of higher education and science, innovation studies, the sociology of education, and education and development more broadly. In addition, politicians, administrators, and practitioners related to higher education, science, and innovation will also find the book of use.

Translated from German, The Handbook of Qualitative and Quantitative Content Analysis is a comprehensive handbook which offers an application-orientated introduction to qualitative and quantitative content analysis methods.The book provides explanations for beginners from bachelor level onwards on how to select an appropriate qualitative or quantitative content analysis method and how to use the chosen method(s) depending on research interest and amount of data. Part 1 defines the basics of qualitative and quantitative content analysis and empirical research, including research quality conventions and how to do interpretation; Part 2 is a practical guide to classical qualitative content analysis and semi-automated quantitative content analysis; and Part 3 introduces Python alongside automated techniques such as correspondence analysis, semantic network analysis, sentiment analysis, and topic modelling using generative and deep learning algorithms. Each of these sections are enriched with extensive examples and cover a range of software applications, including AntConc, MAXQDA, Python, and VosViewer.This is the ideal resource for anyone interested in content analysis research methods across the social sciences, humanities, and data sciences.The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons [Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC BY-NC-ND)] 4.0 license.
