Is a published research paper an important indicator of successful operational research at programme level in low-income countries? In academia, publishing in peer-reviewed scientific journals is highly encouraged and strongly pursued for academic recognition and career progression. In contrast, for those who engage in operational research at programme level, there is often no necessity or reward for publishing the results of research studies; it may even be criticized as being an unnecessary detraction from programme-related work. We present arguments to support publishing operational research from low-income countries; we highlight some of the main reasons for failure of publication at programme level and suggest ways forward.
发表的研究论文是否是低收入国家在规划层面成功开展应用性研究的重要指标？在学术界，发表经过同行评审的科学期刊文章受到高度鼓励，并被强烈追求以获得学术认可和职业发展。相比之下，对于那些在规划层面从事应用性研究的人来说，发表研究结果通常没有必要，也没有奖励；发表研究结果甚至可能被批评为是对与规划相关工作的不必要干扰。我们提出了支持发表来自低收入国家的应用性研究的论点；我们强调了在规划层面未能发表的一些主要原因，并提出了一些前进的方法。
