It is evident that a large number of research studies get completed and than just get a space on the selves or online in some journal. There are a large number of studies which gave notable output and waiting for the implementation of the same. The same is the case with most of the funded research projects.
What is the main reason behind this? Is this normal or its governments who do not want this?
The more traditional purpose of doctoral studies may just be to demonstrate a candidate's ability to conduct independent research. From that perspective, the outcome of doctoral studies would be more important than what impact they might have. But, too many PhD theses languish unread with barely a scholarly citation: is there no better use to make of the main output? At the simplest level, a research agenda might only look at how doctoral students could draw a dissemination plan, a dissemination strategy, and dissemination tactics. More ambitiously, a research agenda might examine how universities could groom policy entrepreneurs (comprising professors and successive cohorts of students) that use outcome-mapping to enrich policy and practice with research. More ambitiously still, a research agenda might investigate how doctoral courses and related functional domains of education (e.g., curriculum development, library and information services, research and development, teaching and learning processes, etc.) could be modernized en masse as contributory inputs toward the production of high-impact PhD theses.

I share your concern Sanjeet Singh . Unfortunately, the industry - academia interface is so low. Most academic work is far removed from reality.
