First of all, by radically improving a school and college education. Second, by letting researchers to teach at schools/colleges part time in subjects of their specialty as major or elective courses, including a history and philosophy of sciences. Third, a research job's wages and prestige should allow a young family to enter a middle class of the society.

Dear Md Rabiul Alam

Greetings. I like the topic because I personally entered late in this field and in India, (and probably in many developing countries) it is very rare to find research interests even among seniors.

I feel incentivizing the work helps. For Example, the Indian Council of Medical Research is granting some funds for student research, students are getting recognized, certificates and acknowledgment for their works. Even some journals are keeping student corner.

I also personally apply a few approaches, for example, encourage and help students and residents to prepare their protocols, helping them to lead as principal investigators, giving them recognition as first authors, etc.

Even Institutes have a role to play. Many institutions do not allow residents to be principal investigators. I feel this needs to be done away from all institutes. Recently, our institutes have done it and residents are submitting their ideas and protocols.

I shall be happy to know what others are doing.

Thanking you for your relevant question

Thanks, Prof Len Leonid Mizrah for suggesting your excellent points to encourage juniors' research activities. But, I think, these are, in fact, to be adopted by the national or minimum institutional level policymakers, isn't it?

Dear Rabiul Alam,

Every country has its own political and economical decision making cuisine. I am not familiar well with the current status of this issue in developing countries. In developed countries all four items I've listed in my post are lagging quite behind. Here below there are just several comments:

1. School and country's teaching administrations and professional teachers are quite negative about this idea due to financial interests, a potential loss of prestige in teaching qualifying ranking and rating standards, and no administrative control of teaching programs and pedagogical credentials being required from a teacher before they have access to kids.

2. Researchers' wages are dependent on investment in Government agencies and organizations and usually are quite fluctuating and limited. Situation is much better in industrial research organizations, though they require a top level performers - that is competition is quite high to get employed there.

3. To make story short - it's a complex difficult problem, and I do not see countries' centralized efforts and focus in resolving those issues. Understanding and efforts of singles cannot replace mass inspiration in resolving this problem.

Dear Prof Habib Md Reazaul Karim , thanks for sharing your nice individual and institutional steps. Hope for the best.

Thanks, Ehsan Namaziandost for sharing this nice booklet on career advice.

Rabiul Alam & fellow responders,

Senior leadership needs to encourage and provide support to the junior (all researchers) researchers to overcome barriers in developing, approval process, and implementation. Research endeavors are akin to climbing Mount Everest, it’s nearly impossible without a guide and knowledgeable sherpas. IMHO.

Love and Peace,

Christopher

By motivating the juniors to search in an interesting topic to them. Asking them to be creative and do whatever they like. Simply make the research an interesting game.

Insert more & more Queries about the student likes the subject .

To solve these queries - they should be taught to search ---------Research methods .

Build them in as part of the research team. Give them roles to play appreciate them where and when necessary.

To encourage junior researcher, give them a role to play and a task to perform whenever necessary, encourage them, appreciate their efforts, this will build there courage and as well groom them, For example, my mentor gave me a task to put my idea into writing, in the process of writing it, my skills started developing from there.

Thank you Dr. D A Gayan Nayanajith for sharing useful materials.

I agree with Dr. Najeem Olawale Adelakun , Md Rabiul Alam , Edwin Chigozie Nwokorie , Jaydip Datta , Shurooq Talab Jaafar , D A Gayan Nayanajith

Thanks Ali Raza

Obviously, by motivating and listening. They should be properly guided in their topics and queries as they want. Senior should never impose own ideas forcefully, just facilitate pragmatically.

The size, complexity, and diversity of research efforts, among other factors, contribute to excellence in a changing and competitive scientific research environment. However, these same features can provide opportunities for misconduct in science, questionable research practices, and other misconduct. Individual scientists bear the primary responsibility for the conduct of their research, but local research institutions and sponsoring organizations also have responsibilities, in addition to implementing fair, sound, and well-defined mechanisms to investigate allegations of misconduct in science. Research institutions strive to provide a climate that encourages responsible practices and discourages questionable research practices. The challenge to research institutions is to aid faculty in establishing effective systems of values and social controls, to provide individuals with opportunities and incentives to develop and implement these systems, and to safeguard the traditions that foster scientific creativity.

I think by appreciate their efforts.

I agree with Dr. Len Leonid Mizrah

Dear Md Rabiul Alam

we can encourage juniors to research research team. Some countries hold prizes for young researchers at the master's or doctorate level in order to encourage them to conduct scientific research.

Best Regards

A lot of varied views...to me it is a sacrifice..being serious on this ensures that the research you participate in...or pillared stands the test of the time.

Thanks, Prof Barry Ayumba ... you've mentioned very important and effective points.

Let them know the importance of good research.

Juniors want guidance and appreciation from the supervisors.

The child learns the world through play, observation. The desire to explore the world is natural in children.

A candidate for a researcher should have the desire to learn more about the world and its phenomena, not be afraid to draw conclusions and ask questions.

You shouldn't be forced to be a scientist or explorer.

Dear Prof Mahesh Kumar , thank you for your very nice and precise piece of valuable comment.

Nelaturi V Raghavaiah , your wonderful catchy words prove that you're in the active field of research and encouraging the juniors as well.

Thanks, Waldemar Łasica for your precious contributions. Your opinions have really enriched this discussion.

I have just 2 way.

The first way to encourage junior colleagues to research is to mentor them. They have various untapped energies which can be mined to very powerful resources.

The second is that the superior needs to be open minded enough to allow the younger generation come up. That is high level of emotional security.

Let them involve, motivate, and show to them the importance of research in our generation.

By properly guiding them to involve in the research.
