"A unique platform for educating young scientists/researchers
about important aspects of research."

Often people who are new to the field face problems on how and where to begin with.
This forum would act as a catalyst in providing useful reviews on topics covering
various aspects of research.In addition, we are launching
two new open access
journals (
10/90 Research Journal) and the (10/90 Student Journal). The
articles would be made available from the day they get accepted, thereby accelerating
research.

We Look Forward to Your Feedback and Participation.

What is 10/90?

“10/90 gap refers to the statistical finding
of the Global Forum for Health Research
[1] that only ten per cent of worldwide
expenditure on health research and
development is devoted to the problems
that primarily affect the poorest 90 per
cent of the world's population.”[2]

10/90 Student Journal

"With the  launching of the 10/90 Student
Journal, PromotingResearch.com plans on
giving a voice to students from around the
world to discuss openly more about
neglected issues.

In particular we would like to especially
advocate the research done by student
groups by giving them their own separate
forum."

Submissions now invited.
10/90 Journals

“Information and Communication
is key to fighting the 10/90 gap”.

For researchers, students and young
scientists, we are launching and inviting
submissions for the "
10/90 Research
Journal"
.

The focus of the journal would be to
present quality reviews and opinions from
experts of the field regarding different
aspects and issues concerning research in
general.

Unless we do not know the basic principles
of research, we would not be able to do
good research. The concept is simple, but
is needed because the resources
highlighting issues related to research are
limited and if available are not free.

For researchers worldwide, the 10/90
Research Journal would educate them on
various aspects of research.

For students, it would feature
compositions, artwork, research work,
research/elective experiences and
upcoming conferences.

We have also tried to present a collection
of recommended readings concerning
various important topics concerning
research and health related issues.

The best part is that all readers and
members would also be acting as useful
contributors through writing for the
journals, expressing their opinions through
letters, engaging in discussions/blogs and
even promoting their own ongoing
research/ideas and collaborating with
others.

This open access plans to bridge that
information gap and provide fellow
researchers with good, useful and up to
date quality reviews on topics concerning
research.

We hope that you benefit from this
endeavor of ours.
Good Wishes,
The Editor.

Earthquake Tragedy 2005:  Rescue Efforts and
the Lessons Learnt

As the earth shook at 8:50:38 Pakistan Standard Time, on the
8th of October 2005, not many realized the havoc that was soon
to follow. By the 8th of November, the Pakistani government’s
official death toll was 73726. And the number injured in an
excess of 100,000. A year and a half into this tectonic disaster,
we talk to Professor Saleem Ahmed, Head of Orthopedic
Department, Rawalpindi Medical College & Allied Hospitals, a
man who was at the centre of the rescue, relief and rehabilitation
process in Rawalpindi.
Student Research in a Medical School in
Western Nepal

The number of researchers and research publications from
South Asia are lower as compared to the developed countries.
Student research projects are common in developed countries
but are a rarity in this part of the world. In the developing world
initiatives to encourage student research are now being carried
out. Medical student journals are being published and many
medical journals have student sections. Dr. Ravi Shankar shares
his experience of encouraging student research at his medical
college in Nepal.
Reading Medical Journals: A Beginners guide for Medical
Students

Research is a vast field and it will be very difficult for a beginner (student/doctor) to
start effectively without proper guidance. It is very important to know about the
medical journals and their effective use before starting research work. Selection,
understanding and proper utilization of medical journals is as important as the
practical research work. The following article would be a useful guide for beginners in
the field of research, especially medical students.
The Health Effects of Floods in Pakistan

Floods are one of the most feared and costly forms of natural
disasters affecting mankind, accounting for over 40% of natural
worldwide disasters. Water in the form of floods can wreck
havoc, ruthlessly taking innocent lives. The recent flooding and
torrential rains across the province of Balochistan has left more
than 240 dead. Over 2 million people were affected across 15
districts of the province. In this issue in the World in Focus,
Mohsin Shah discusses the health effects of the floods in general
with a special focus on the recent floods in the province of
Balochistan, Pakistan.
Observership, Research and Externship in the United States

Observerships, research and externships give you an exposure of health care system
of United States and give you an idea of what to expect during residency; (the nature
of work, health care facilities, code of conduct for health care professionals, the
cutting edge technology, electronic health care records, diseases prevalent in a certain
geographical area and the social and cultural values of people of United States). In this
issue of the section of the Road to Residency, Aitzaz and Saima discuss their views
about the importance and the various ways to do an observership, research and
externship in the United States.
