UGC to create database to store research data

University Grants Commission has decided to make database to store the information of researchers and research papers.

The decision was announced on Monday at a virtual workshop on data delivery of the global index 9.5.2 aiming to achieve sustainable development goals, said a press release.

The decision was taken to enhance research activities in the country in line with the goal of Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).

Research papers, the information of researchers and research assistants, working hours spent on research would be added to the database.

If this initiative is implemented, the standard of education and research in the country's universities will be raised to the desired level by 2030 and the number of researchers will also increase at a significant rate.
