“…Collaborations between domestic, as well as international researchers and institutions, can foster such exchange and access. Evidence from South Africa and Brazil suggests that international collaborations dramatically boost the volume of health research publications in high impact peer-reviewed journals ( 46 , 47 ). To realise the potential of collaborative research, it is crucial that local capacities are strengthened and relationships between domestic and international institutions are based on equal partnerships.…”

BackgroundPublic health research has gained increasing importance in India's national health policy as the country seeks to address the high burden of disease and its inequitable distribution, and embarks on an ambitious agenda towards universalising health care.ObjectiveThis study aimed at describing the public health research output in India, its focus and distribution, and the actors involved in the research system. It makes recommendations for systematically promoting and strengthening public health research in the country.DesignThe study was a bibliometric analysis of PubMed and IndMed databases for years 2000–2010. The bibliometric data were analysed in terms of biomedical focus based on the Global Burden of Disease, location of research, research institutions, and funding agencies.ResultsA total of 7,893 eligible articles were identified over the 11-year search period. The annual research output increased by 42% between 2000 and 2010. In total, 60.8% of the articles were related to communicable diseases, newborn, maternal, and nutritional causes, comparing favourably with the burden of these causes (39.1%). While the burdens from non-communicable diseases and injuries were 50.2 and 10.7%, respectively, only 31.9 and 7.5% of articles reported research for these conditions. The north-eastern states and the Empowered-Action-Group states of India were the most under-represented for location of research. In total, 67.2% of papers involved international collaborations and 49.2% of these collaborations were with institutions in the UK or USA; 35.4% of the publications involved international funding and 71.2% of funders were located in the UK or USA.ConclusionsWhile public health research output in India has increased significantly, there are marked inequities in relation to the burden of disease and the geographic distribution of research. Systematic priority setting, adequate funding, and institutional capacity building are needed to address these inequities.

“…One aspect of the growth has been tremendous expansion of funding, as well as enhanced productivity of the Brazilian research system [10]. Research literature and interest on Brazilian innovation system is also growing rapidly, and ever more articles examine the dynamics and patterns behind its growth [14], [15]. A central issue for this paper is to point out how the Brazilian research system is undergoing a transformation as a part its expansion process, and especially to look at aspects that can indicate to what degree Brazilian capabilities are contributing to growth and quality, and to what degree foreign capabilities are playing a role.…”
