Abstract

The spirit of careerism and competition among researchers has lessened the impact of academic research on society creating a halt that abates the unification of academic and professional service. If academic research will address some of the public problems, there must be a shift in the paradigm. The new paradigm should be a type that underscores increase in knowledge with the goal of promoting partnership between the society and research.
