India: World's Largest Research Workforce Struggles to Deliver Quality Breakthroughs India has a large number of researchers, but the quality of research remains a concern due to various factors. India has relatively low researchers per million population compared to leading countries like the US, South Korea, and Japan. Research output faces challenges such as limited funding, a focus on quantity over quality of publications, inadequate research infrastructure, lack of rigorous peer review, weak industry-academia collaboration, and brain drain of talented researchers. Many institutions emphasize the number of publications rather than high-impact research, leading to a stagnation in research quality. Despite the growth in numbers and some improvements in representation in global top-cited researchers' lists, overall research quality and innovation are still struggling due to systemic issues in funding, ethics, resources, and institutional autonomy.
