Read the story of yet another illegal journal business.
Medical Council of India has made it compulsory for doctors to have a certain number of publications to stay in practice. Now, when something is made mandatory and individual interests are disregarded, how do they manage to keep up the quality of research?
Scam journals are harvesting junk research. Compulsions are never the way to set things straight. If the quality of medical research has to improve, the research must have passion in it.
Will the frantic run after answered research questions ever stop?
Society & Social Medicine Musings 
The thought of doctors being forced to publish is indeed frighting. We’ll have more doctors than ever putting half-truths or un-truths out and the public will believe simply because it was written by a person in a ‘white coat.’ It seems to me we are setting ourselves up for a major healthcare disaster.

The ruling is on all doctors working in teaching hospitals. Private sector doctors are not severely affected.
