As we know in India there is an exponential growth of research population. Any new concept or ideas in the form of a paper done by a researcher has a dream of getting it published in only in organisations owned by foreign societies. Are there not any Indian bodies doing this job? Yes, there are many journals owned by Indian groups. But there are a list of short comings in it. 1. If your hard work in the form of journal is published in almost any Indian journals as of now, your doctorate degree loses the value!? 2.The review methodology is not up to the mark. For a review process to take place it is required to have a look at each and individual word in the paper to be published. It should not be copied or should not contain any wrong information. 3. It gives superficial and false citation numbers, (Citation:- it is referring to the journal which is already published in your work for having its improvement in technology or concept) means, form a group, give a name to journal, start publishing in it irrespective of the standards, for reference or citations you cite only the journals which are already published in the group previously, or by a journal owned by your friends group.
So steps should be taken to stop this fraudulent business (for each paper to be published in Indian journals are some times greater than their foreign counterparts) done by these self interested selfish groups. If we look at the other part of the world in research perspective we have the world class research organisations like IEEE, science direct and Elsevier to name few of the circuit branches. However in every field related technology and pure sciences there are separate organisations which are internationally acclaimed. All these don't have any of the drawbacks as stated above. The reasons are, any of these are not small but having international recognition and the number of international posts are more. These works only for the upliftment of technology, and there are no hidden agendas of favour ism. If everything is good in the other part of the world, where lies the problem?. The problem lies in the subtle methods adopted by the developed countries to extract the knowledge and information from all parts of the world for the benefit of its own good and selling the same knowledge world wide and increasing the revenue if its own country, by keeping the system friendly for authenticity and genuineness.
What happens to a country's development and security whose people drain the knowledge outside for their own good? The results are to be verified by the reviewers and are to be checked with claims made by the author of the paper. As of now any person who is no researcher can publish a paper just by falsely varying the results.So steps has to be taken to stop the people putting the ideas into foreign journals by increasing the quality of Indian journals, The review process has to improved in any Indian journal and set of rules are to be protocled to every journal groups by the govt. Failing to abide by law strict actions are to be taken against those who play with the future of the country.
Now let us step by step move towards the grass roots of the problem, The educated and bright , even if they go out for studies , they should be attracted to work in Indian research organisations, as is done in by Israel and to some extent by Iran Governments. The young and bright students with different backgrounds now-a-days are wrongly falling into prey of IT field, which is no good to India in long run. So they should be attracted to work in research field by giving or setting up research wings in every village. Steps or measures are to be taken to educate people of how to do research with low costs and people in general should be educated about research and its advantages. The general ideas of research from centuries in India is that "researcher is no bread winner of family", due to this mentality, we are at receiving ends in many fields. For example, there were many mathematicians who were present from past thousand years back, but unfortunately according to my knowledge there is no mathematical model of them available which helps us in creating a product, which explains mathematically the development of it. The kindling of idea to getting oneself into research on it, research tending into implementation (for proving the result), from result into creation of white paper (which is a documentation of developing a product), from product generation and serving into market,from market to customers, this chain shouldn't cut anywhere, has to be taken care.Not all products are for people in general. There are some products for a particular group, some for people in general, for both suitable successful publicising has to be done. Here not all ideas can be converted into a product, some good ideas are to be mixed with others to get a proper shape. So in all fields there has to be one integrating body. Whose main job is to look into different ideas, which are coming in different form (Some in nascent stage some in ripe stage) and has to be integrated for the benefit of research technology and people. Here we can take Iran as role model whose nuclear program is of indigenous talent.
I happened to attend workshop on communication in one of the colleges organised by AICTE, where I happened to meet one scientist in the field of RADAR, who claimed the new innovative and indigenous methods adopted, I asked whether the ideas are published anywhere ?. No it can't be published as it the development done in the field of RADAR for COUNTRY. One thing I came to know is that she is not a phd (doctorate), which she would have easily got with her work, but if done the secrecy can't be maintained. With these thought provoking words, I was trying to find the real researchers who are in India in their entirety.
