Most countries in the world, including India and USA, have increased total number of research documents published. But average quality is falling and personal integrity of professionals is coming under more serious questions. Declining quality of education and research has grave socioeconomic consequences in terms of worsening social mobility, consolidation of wealth and rising socio-political unrest. It is becoming apparent that quality of research has high correlation with 'corruption perception index' of a country. India and USA are showing similar trend in this regard. We should look beyond standardized test scores while selecting candidates for different courses and careers.

Abstract


Most countries in the world, including India and USA, have increased total number of research documents published. But average quality is falling and personal integrity of professionals is coming under more serious questions. Declining quality of education and research has grave socioeconomic consequences in terms of worsening social mobility, consolidation of wealth and rising socio-political unrest. It is becoming apparent that quality of research has high correlation with 'corruption perception index' of a country. India and USA are showing similar trend in this regard. We should look beyond standardized test scores while selecting candidates for different courses and careers.
