The research landscape
Why is it that so few people in India publish in leading journals in my discipline of Information Systems? I have noticed in my blog for example that India is one of the leading countries for visitors. However, my discipline is dominated by a few countries when it comes to the leading journals. Clearly, there is a lot of interest in IT and information systems in India, they have a vibrant IT sector and a large university sector. Indians in the USA are doing well in research but what about those in India itself? Why aren't they publishing more in journals? Anyone any ideas?

Interesting observation.
ReplyDeleteIve had experience managing 2 IT projects it Bangalore, and found out they are excellent in technical knowledge, although it took me sometime to understand the cultural aspect of doing things. Resources are plenty, you can extend your capacity to deliver. (but staff turnover is pretty high) (Side track from your topic a little bit)
Could it be because of the cultural thing ? They tend to work on go-to-market principle rather than contributing knowledge to the society.
My two cents.
