Where is our darling UNIBEN, they employed Benin agbero everywhere as lecturers, am not surprise. Though, this could have an afonja undertone, because they are good at over hyping their things.

Agreed.
In my University, publishing 6 papers before graduation is part of your higher degree. 3 conference and 3 journal papers. Nigerian Universities need to implement that at MSc and PhD level as a prerequisite for passing. Even if it’s just one. Who is the Minister for Education sef?
Though, it is expensive, but, worth it. By this, ranking of our universities can now match relatively.

Research publications that can not produce matchsticks, are those ones research publications.


It is not by publications but by impact on the socioeconomic lifestyle of the society.

If every school in Nigeria makes it a policy for every Post Graduate student to publish at least one journal from their thesis/desertation before graduation, the number of international publications in Nigeria will be much higher.


The problem is not to publish but to have an impact on the society

Imagine a country's top universities that can't produce a mobile phone after so much publications.

In sane societies, research from Universities and think-tanks, often affiliated to Universities, drive policies for government and industry. From the United States to Australia to the United Kingdom to Brazil, this is the same. Thankfully, some African countries have begun to see this as essential, for example Kenya and South Africa

As long as our publications can not address our socioeconomic challenges, those publications are copied textbooks.

A thread dedicated to only student in the penultimate and final year of all educational institution in Nigeria. Research at this stage is a protocol that can never be an option in our great nation.

so what happens when you are face with a research work that seems like an unsurmountable problem? it's either you face it or walk away. the latter is never an option that is the reason i am creating this thread to be of assistant to you with your research work.

feel confident and tell me if you need a profession touch on your research/ project work. (08168261081)

I hope to hear from you soon

Best wishes.

I think u have a valid point here. Public Universities are under funded. The little available funds is being mismanaged by these over hyped university dons.

Privatizing these universities will go a long way to salvage our education system in Nigeria. Our minister of education should wake up from his slumber



Alzirida:
A country where funding in Education is abysmal.
The little that goes in are swindled by University Dons.


Privatize all federal Universities
Let government have 20% stake.


While FG should concentrate more on technical schools and craft centers

We can't privatize everything sir, what are the govt going to be responsible for?

Anyone academic that feels he has huge potential and the state is not ready to support can apply to private University.

And with individual dedication, good researches can still be done and findings implemented in State Institutions.

LOL.
And you think I’m in the system inside Nigeria? Sir, I’m published in 6.1 IF journals in my field— and I say this with humility. I understand the limitations which Nigerian researchers operate in and my arguments were defined within the scope of Nigeria— and not globally. It will take a while before they catch up to global best practices. Let them first compete within West Africa and Africa.

Okay!! So if you have taken a look at the David Olaleye link, and you claim you are published in journals with impact factor of 6.1 (good for you; I have several articles in journals with IF of 6 and above - in all, I have over 60 articles in peer reviewed journals), then do you agree that David Olaleye, given the website's appearance, is in no position to provide this information?

It is wrong to define this within the scope of Nigeria as we live in a global world. Moreover, one of the main purposes of having papers published in international journals is to disseminate findings to a global audience so results, where applicable, can be adapted for country or region-specific ends. What can other countries learn from academic research emanating from Nigerian universities? Your guess is as good as mine.

FYI, and stated humbly too, I am not just an author of research papers, I am also a reviewer (I review regularly for over 15 international journals), and also an associate editor for a Wiley Journal. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/

Certainly, I do agree that David Olaleye, as represented in the web-link above, is in no position to provide the information. The quality of research work done in report is pretty poor; the less said, the better. Unfortunately, this sort of information is what Nigerians -even those in the academia- use to analyse the state of research in Nigeria.

Agreed, it is inappropriate to limit Nigeria within the scope of West Africa but, arguably, that is where Nigeria has limited herself to that it would be disingenuous compelling oneself to see Nigeria differently. From the amount invested and budgeted in education, to the Minister of Education and other tertiary institution personnel to the research and teaching environment, Nigeria ranks poorly, even amongst "peers" in Africa. Pray, what compelling reasons does one have to situate an argument for Nigeria outside the shores of Africa? None, if one is honest. I once argued, in an article that I wrote earlier this year, that Nigeria's educational system, specifically at higher level, is yet to remove itself the colonial era of producing graduates just to gain employment in public service. Hence research, which seeks to systematically investigate a thing in order to reach a factual conclusion, is seen as "foreign". And treated as so.

Well-done on your published works. I have a bunch of papers I’m currently reviewing as I type this. I think I will say less (or no more!) about mine, as I prefer the anonymity on this space! Cheers!
