"Research paper mills": A factory outlet for dubious research.

The primary objective of any research, regardless of its domain such as health, technology, psychology, or any other subject, is to enhance the overall well-being of individuals. Rigorous processes are involved in conducting research ethically and in communicating its outcomes to society. However, as publishing research has become a mandatory requirement for career advancement and appointments, academics are resorting to several unethical practices to get substandard work published quickly.

The art and science of research methodology, biostatistics, manuscript writing, and publication ethics: An invigorating training for improving research aptitudes in southern Indian biomedical institutions.

The basic concepts of research are learned through systematic literature searches which form the basis of a research statement and research topic. Then the research question, hypothesis, aim, and objectives, as well as the experimental design, are developed. Given the context provided, the primary focus is on the importance of adequately training postgraduates and young research investigators in research methodology and project development.

High Hybrid Mie-Plasmonic Resonances in van der Waals Nanoantennas on Gold Substrate.

Dielectric nanoresonators have been shown to circumvent the heavy optical losses associated with plasmonic devices; however, they suffer from less confined resonances. By constructing a hybrid system of both dielectric and metallic materials, one can retain low losses, while achieving stronger mode confinement. Here, we use a high refractive index multilayer transition-metal dichalcogenide WS exfoliated on gold to fabricate and optically characterize a hybrid nanoantenna-on-gold system.

ChatGPT: Impact of an artificial author on bibliometrics.

The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in medical science has been widely discussed and debated. Topol foresaw that AI, particularly deep learning, would be used in a variety of applications, with users ranging from specialty doctors to paramedics [1]. He discussed how deep neural networks (DNNs) of AI can help interpret medical scans, pathology slides, skin lesions, retinal images, electrocardiograms, endoscopy, faces, and vital signs.

Therapeutic mammoplasty: a "wise" oncoplastic choice-lessons from the largest single-center cohort from Asia.

Introduction: The majority of breast cancer patients from India usually present with advanced disease, limiting the scope of breast conservation surgery. Therapeutic mammoplasty (TM), an oncoplastic technique that permits larger excisions, is quite promising in such a scenario and well suited to breast cancer in medium-to-large-sized breasts with ptosis and in some cases of large or multifocal/multicentric tumors. Here, we describe our TM cohort of 205 (194 malignant and 11 benign) patients from 2012 to 2019 treated at a single surgeon center in India, the largest Asian dataset for TM.
