Abstract:
Research publications are clearly one of the quantitative measures for the
basic research activity in a country. The root cause for stagnancy in the
number of research publications from India seems related to talented and
bright young students riot opting for careers in science in recent years.
Apart from basic research, there are other kinds of research and technology
development also, e.g. mission-oriented, industry-oriented,
country-specific, etc. The Principal Scientific Adviser's office has taken
up projects on measures of progress of science and technology in some areas:
on Indian patenting activity, on agricultural and rural development and on
publication output. It is also necessary to measure achievements in
high-technology and in country-specific research.
