Some years ago ....a Goan doctor - whose questionable study on alcoholism made infamous headlines in the Times of India - wrote to me indicating that most research in India is fudged.
I am not sure that this Goan was or is an authority on "research in India". I personally know many ethical research scientists who would never to anything as unethical as fudge for the sake of funding. I have read the posts of Santosh and Marlon on this matter - and I agree with the points made therein. jc Samir Kelekar <[email protected]> wrote: 1: If the results of your research means that you will lose a huge amount of funding, how many researchers will be sincere to their research and publish their findings sincerely? 2: Some may not publish false things, but may remain silent and not publish contrary results. 3: In many areas, research today is a game that is funded by big finance. And one requires very high level of integrity to stick to one's research findings, and go ahead.
