Other variable considered was race of authors as revealed in figure 3.5. This was because, desegregation of research occurred at the turn of the century, which was half way through the decade, specified in the study. This has impacted on the distribution of race per institution with a predominance of White authors at all institutions.

It should be noted that several names that appear 'white' may, in fact, be names of Coloured authors, especially at UWC – a historically black institution. The indexes in figure 3.5 show a broad trend in distribution of race. In figure 3.6, the distributions of gender of author are shown.
The line graph in figure 3.6 suggest that there are more female researchers than male researchers overall in the region. The male to female ratio at UWC is almost 50:50, but there are a greater number of females at both SUN and UCT.
