Abstract

Research means the systematic investigation into and study of materials and sources to establish facts and reach new conclusions. In other words, we can say that adding new knowledge to the presently acquired knowledge is research. Publication Business is the business of producing printed material for sale or distribution. The business of issuing printed matter for sale or distribution. If we keep research in one hand and publication business in other hand, we can easily differentiate these two entities as entirely different entities. Publication business follows corporate business rules with huge number of profits involved. In this business model all stakeholders including researchers, journals, publishers and indexing and funding agencies are depended on each other for their survival. They all have mutual financial benefits.
