Why is government funded dental research so scarce in India?
Journal Title: International Journal of Dentistry Research - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
We read the “Compendium of ICMR research papers (1919-2010) – A consolidation” released by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) in the year 2011 [1] . The ICMR team (Division of Publication and Information) has done a commendable job in compiling such a comprehensive and exhaustive database containing 12471 articles (intramural research) from 1919 to 2010. The compendium gives an insight into various priority research areas of the ICMR from time to time. However, it was astonishing and distressing at the same time to find that the dental research has been given little priority, which is evident from the paucity of ICMR published research papers in the field of dentistry [1] .
