As seen in the first row of the table, the mean value of authors varies across the racial categories. The highest mean was for the Other (3.19 authors per publication), followed by Africans (2.4), Whites (2.36) and lastly Indians (2.2). In agreement with this finding, the fractional count also brought lower figures for the higher number of authors per publication (the higher the number of authors per publication, the lower the number of the fractional count). The number of countries involved in the production of publications was 2.02 for the Other, 1.37 for the Whites, 1.35 for the Indians and 1.34 for the Africans. Citations received according to the race of authors were varied. The average number of citations for the publications produced by the Africans was 2.17 against 4.25 for the Indians, 5.27 for the Whites and 8.46 for the Other.

Gender by race is another indicator, which must be analysed in terms of both the mean and the percentage. For all publications, 22% of the authors were women. For the African authors it was little higher (23%). For Indian authors the percentage was 32 while it was 25% for the Whites.

The majority of the authors (all authors), regardless of race, were affiliated to the university sector. Remember, it was the most predominant sector for the authors in management subjects. The sectoral affiliation of authors, therefore, does not differ significantly among racial groups. Despite this, a higher mean for the university sector was found for the authors under the category of Other, followed by Africans, Indians and Whites. Due to the nature of the larger share of authors coming from the university sector, there was no significant difference in the groups of either South African or non-South African authors among the racial groups in the analysis.
