We all know it is very important to work in collaboration. But this is possible only when the government of any country will make policies for this collaboration and take necessary steps to implement the proposed policies.
I seriousely advise you all to read "Deadly medicine and organized crime" by Peter Gøtzsche, MD, who co-founded the Cochrane Collaboration, before even considering such a collaboration.....
Collaboration with companies is very much needed to explore the available resources frugally. Generally academicians generate data which are not mandatory from regulatory point of view if the same product is developed for commercialization. Academicians should not be solely blamed for this digression because most of the time it is needed to get the manuscript published. There are several ways to establish a coherence between between two which is a matter of long debate. A good topic to muse about.
