Research and Problem Solving: Practitioner’s Need to Think?
Abstract
Scientific research is a marker of success for all professionals in health science. It is not merely writing something irrelevantly. It does not matter how pleased an author might be to have converted all the right data into wordings; it matters only whether a large majority of the reading audience accurately perceives what the author had in mind.1 In modern medicine evidence based practice is truly scientific and also ethical. Most of the medical professionals are reluctant to do research and publishing, especially in developing countries. This reluctance is not only because of their lack of knowledge but also due to the absence of some statutory body to monitor the development in terms of promoting scientific research. Scientific writings are always influenced not only by academic interests and knowledge, but also by extracurricular talents and life experiences. This is one of the principal reasons why medical professionals in renowned institutions are working in clinically orientated medical research.
