I Am a public health scholar, I have many research questions in mind and wanted to implement it in the future. Can I independently conduct a survey without being a part of any educational institutions and publish the survey? Do let me know
Thank you
Why not? If your study plan is transparent and all participants and stakeholders are informed and ccnsent,, your study design and results without flaws, publication should be open to you. You will publish it personal without institutional affiliation. Added value would be a positive ethics committee approval.
Keep a good distance to the big pharma and the ghost writers. Give your development to independent researchers to be tested, do not mingle at all. As soon you are involved nobody believes the results. - I worked for years in a corrupt clinic, it was a waste of time.

A quote: "In 2012, I found out that the ten biggest drug companies in the world commit repeated and serious crimes to such a degree that they fulfill the criteria for organised crime under US law. I also found out how huge the consequences of the crimes are. They involve colossal thefts of public monies and they contribute substantially to the fact that our drugs are the third leading cause of death after heart disease and cancer."
The corrupt people in a corrupt country destroyed the health of my son at birth, then they gave him Paxil, - he tried to commit suicide. - Think carefully with whom to work and where to work, tax haven countries are the worst and most corrupt.
I think you can go for independent research, but you need to get ethics committee approval, tie up with a nearest medical institute and get the ethics approval, remember you gonna be the PI.....Best wishes....
Unfortunately "ethics committees" are often part of the corruption and many "ghostwriters" sit in those. - See this: http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2010/11/lies-damned-lies-and-medical-science/308269/ and this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIIQVll7DYY
Good luck with the industry!
