Call for research to improve economic productivity
ISLAMABAD: There is a need to promote research that contributes to strengthening the economy of Pakistan by building up high-quality exportable products.
This was stated by Higher Education Commission (HEC) Executive Director Dr Shaista Sohail. She was speaking at a national conference titled "Meeting of the Minds" organized by the National Academy of Higher Education (NAHE) on Tuesday.
HEC Chairman Dr Tariq Banuri stressed the need of moving away from the metrics that emphasize on the quantity of research papers produced to an approach that values the weight of one quality paper.
He added that a paper that either solves or contributes meaningfully to solving a problem should be valued over dozens of papers which do not develop a body of knowledge.
