Parallel with the objective of producing quality manpower, SKIMS has been in the forefront of research that has not only been need based but in many instances path breaking too, serving as the leading light for the world. An important next step is to take the completed research a bit further for publication in citable and indexed journals. Much as we would despise it, “publish or perish” and 'research not published is research wasted' continue to be the mantra in medical science.
