A Journal of Their Own

At the Scientific Indian, Selva quotes from a New Scientist article that argues for developing countries to have their own science journals. The New Scientist piece says that local medical journals would not only cater better to the needs of the community but would also develop the local research culture. "Developing countries are beginning to take ownership of the research they undertake. Now they must start to take control of where that research is published," writes Priya Sherry. Selva adds that developing countries could also benefit from having a local science magazine.
