Africa bears a quarter of the global burden of disease but contributes less than 2% of the global research publications on health, partially due to a lack of expertise and skills to carry out scientific research. We report on a short course on research methods organised by the Clinical Research Education Networking and Consultancy (CRENC) during the third international congress of the Ivorian Cardiac Society (SICARD) in Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire. Results from the pre- and post-test evaluation during this course showed that African researchers could contribute more to scientific research and publications, provided adequate support and investment is geared towards the identification and training of motivated early-career scientists.
非洲承担着全球四分之一的疾病负担，但在全球健康研究出版物中所占比例不到2%，部分原因是缺乏开展科学研究的专业知识和技能。我们报道了由临床研究教育网络与咨询机构（CRENC）在科特迪瓦阿比让举行的科特迪瓦心脏学会（SICARD）第三届国际大会期间组织的一个研究方法短期课程。该课程前后测试评估的结果表明，只要为识别和培训有积极性的早期职业科学家提供足够的支持和投资，非洲研究人员就能为科学研究和出版物做出更多贡献。
