Publications are not coming from science laboratory of Nepal in international journal? Who is responsible, Ministry of science or professor or University?

okies I will speak from engineering point of view in this topic...

  A student who has passed bachelor in engineering field may yet never known what an IEEE paper looks like or what is it's format. Students may have not even wrote a single term paper during their course of four years. Like most of the deficiency in Nepalese education I believe this can't be blamed on infrastructure...coz everything is easily available in the net.
  Firstly blaming on professor would be very wrong. Infact, finding a professor teaching for engineering fields is very difficult. Usually it is a senior who has just completed his bachelor's recently. Most of the student after sometime just go to abroad and most private engineering colleges have gave up idea of good teachers. They are just lucky to find a teacher.
 Field such as engineering which is in research front, has yet to start a research culture in nepal. A professor or teacher in an engineering institution is assumed to have duty of teaching only.Besides, there is no fund allocated by anyone for research purpose. Neither there is will by the government to bring up projects for the purpose of survey to educational institutes nor by private sector. Under these circumstances...what research will come out is your's and mine guess. There might one or two paper coming out, that too using data of experiment carried by someone else on simulation and analysis..
 Besides there is very poor infrastructure and hardly enough equipment to do anything substantial. And even most of the engineering institution aren't also keen on this. They are just producing batch of unskilled engineers, filled with theoretical knowledge. There is nothing called tenure track....Teachers are meant for teaching nothingelse
