The document discusses medical education in India and the relatively low number of research publications compared to the number of medical colleges and programs. It notes that one reason for fewer publications is the unavailability of free full-text articles, as many journals charge for access and individual researchers or students may not be able to afford them.

Presently, in India nearly 314 medical colleges are providing undergraduate medical

education in the form of MBBS, 163 colleges are providing doctor of medicine in
diploma in Dermatology,Venereology and Leprosy (DVL), and 84 colleges are
providing diploma in DVL.[1–3] In addition to this, 27 hospitals are providing
diplomate of national board in diploma in Venereology and Dermatology.[4] On
comparing this data with number of research articles published, the latter stands in a
mediocre situation. One of the important cause responsible for the relatively less
number of research publication is unavailability of free full-text articles. Research
works, published by most of the journals, are paid. Many of the undergraduates or
postgraduate students may not be able to purchase these high-cost journals or articles.
In addition to this, many researchers may not be willing to spend money on journals.
These are some of the situations where free full-text articles come for rescue, but
many of the beginners may not be familiar about how to search these articles. In
addition, free full-text articles are the first choice for many of the postgraduate
students for their dissertation.
