All Answers: RE: [pakgrid] FWD: Elsevier-Quiz for Science (PLEASE FORWARD & INFORM TO ALL STUDENTS & FACULTY)

Dear Friends,

I am not a great fan of conspiracy theorists, but should we try to understand the motivation of this India-based exercise of Elsevier to test the knowledge of scholars and faculty in Pakistani Universities, keeping in mind their increasing output in the form of research papers?

Dear Professor Dr Alay Ahmad,

This quiz is for the students and faculty of the participating universities only. Moreover it is not a simple quiz. Only those people can attempt who are in a university which has access to Science Direct.

Regards
