Rethinking Scientific Communication: Perspectives from East Africa and India.

Abstract

Modern-day science is defined by a frustrating dichotomy: despite exceptional investment in research, published findings often fail to reach their intended audiences and subsequently reflect little to no real-world impact. This crisis is not one of volume but of visibility and impact. This editorial, drawn from two case studies on the experience at the East African Journal of Neurological Sciences (EAJNS) and the multilingual landscape in India, explores how multimedia platforms, community-centred dissemination and vernacular storytelling can help bridge the gap between research output and real-world impact.
