চাইনিজ গবেষকরা নেচার বা সাইন্স জার্নাল কিংবা প্রায় কাছাকাছি মানের জার্নালে গবেষণপত্র প্রকাশ করলে চাইনিজ একাডেমি অফ সায়েন্স অথরদের ৩০ হাজার ডলার পুরস্কার দেয়। কিছু গবেষক এই ধরনের "অর্থ " দিয়ে তাদের আয়ের অর্ধেক আয় করছেন। আমাদের বুয়েটও Q১ মানের প্রতিটি গবেষণপত্রের জন্য ১ লক্ষ ৫০ হাজার টাকা দেয়। আমাদের মত দেশে এই ধরণের প্রণোদনা খারাপ না। কিন্তু ঢাকা বিশ্ববিদ্যালয় এখনো এই বিষয়ে কোন উদ্যোগ নেয়নি। ঢাকা বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়ে নেচার আর সাইন্স জার্নালে আর্টিকেল প্রকাশ করলে যেইভাবে মূল্যায়ন করে ঢাকা বিশ্ববিদ্যালয় জার্নাল অফ সাইন্স জার্নালে প্রকাশ করলেও একইভাবে এক সমান হিসাবে মূল্যায়ন করে। এই দেশে মানুষ ভালো কাজ কেন করবে?

চাইনিজরা ভালো কাজের ভালো মূল্যায়ন করে বলেই তারা দুর্বার গর্তিতে এগিয়ে যাচ্ছে। আর আমাদের দেশে খারাপ কাজকে বেশি মূল্যায়ন করে বলে আমরা দুর্বার গতিতে পিছিয়ে পড়ছি।
