10/90 Student Journal
10/90 Student Journal
Bridging the information gap:
Giving Voice to Students from Around the World
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]
“Information and Communication is key to fighting the 10/90 gap”.
10/90 Student Journal:
With the launching of the 10/90 Student Journal, we hope to give voice to
students from around the world to discuss openly more about research and
neglected issues.
The review process is unique because the initial review comes from other fellow
peers themselves. This also helps students in developing analytical skills and
lets them compare their reviews with those of a faculty referee.
The goal is to encourage students for engaging themselves in research and gives
them a voice in the world literature. It is to encourage them to research and
present their work. The forum is the starting point rather than an endpoint for
presenting their work.
It is a platform to share experiences, so that other students can learn and benefit
from what you have learnt. We all are students and will always be. Sharing of
our ideas and experiences with each other would have immense benefit in the
long run.
The material wherever used should be appropriately cited giving credit to the
authors.
Interested medical students, graduates and other people related to the medical
profession can also apply as referees. Just email us your CVs at
editor@promotingresearch.com with the word 'Referee' in the subject line.
Submit your work now:
The 10/90 Student Journal now invites submissions pertaining to aspects
concerning research and life of students/young scientists in medicine and
science.
The submissions may be but not limited to the sections listed at the
end.
In particular we would like to invite research done by student groups
for our “Student Research” section of the journal. The purpose would be to
highlight and encourage quality research done in medicine and social sciences
and encourage further debate and discussion on the topic.
Please indicate the section to which you are sending by indicating it in the
subject line.
Looking forward to receiving your submissions.
Best of Luck.
The Editor.
