"While universities carry the dual function of knowledge creation and knowledge\r\ntransmission through the process of research and teaching, there is on-going\r\ntension between research and teaching, particularly in terms of the demands\r\non time and variable recognitions and rewards. In addition, there is a demand\r\non all universities around the globe to increase their research and publication.\r\nIn Malaysia, the rating exercise of universities is carried out nationwide using\r\nthe Malaysian Research Assessment Instrument 2011 (MyRA®) by Ministry of\r\nHigher Education. The aim of MyRA® is to increase research quality in higher\r\neducation institutions which in turn will produce high impact human capital,\r\npublications and intellectual property. The 2014 MyRA® rating for Open\r\nUniversity Malaysia 2014 suggested that bold strategies are required to be on\r\npar with other private higher education institutions and this prompts this study.\r\nThree short surveys related to research, publications and funding were\r\nadministered onto its academic staff. In addition, a visiting professor was\r\ninvited i) to discuss how the university’s research and publication performance\r\ncould be improved, and ii) to conduct a series of workshops to promote\r\nresearch and publication and encourage action amongst academic staff. The\r\npaucity of research and publications within the university according to the\r\nsurvey findings is due to several reasons such as i) lack of emphasis on\r\nresearch and publications in strategic plans as well as in the terms and\r\nconditions of employment, ii) workload issue, and iii) lack of research skills.\r\nThe Centre for Research and Innovation which manages all research related\r\nactivities of the university has drafted out its Research and Innovation strategic\r\nplan taking cognizance of the issue raised by academic staff.\r\nKeywords: Research, Publication, Funding, Audit\r\n(Abstract by author)"^^ .
