    Mandatory Publications: An Approach to Kill ‘Lack of Will’ or ‘Lack of Skill’?Neelam Dehal, Kewal Krishan, Tanuj Kanchan & Amarjeet Singh - 2018 - Science and Engineering Ethics 24 (2):773-777.
    The issue of ‘mandatory publications’ has generated serious flak about its usefulness among the various stakeholders. A lot of debate centers around the question of ‘lack of will’ or ‘lack of skill’ as a reason for the diminishing research interests among the medical faculty in India. In our view, it is the lack of will to publish good quality research which is to be blamed rather than the lack of skill to do good quality research.

These are categorized separately because these killings are committed for the prime reason of satisfying the ego of the people whom the victim trusts and always looks up to for support and protection. It is for this sole reason that honor killings demand strict and stern punishment, not only for the person who committed the murder but also for any person who contributed or was party to the (...)
