Importance to the Community
Who will benefit? How many?
How will they benefit?
What new info will the study provide?
How much money do we make from the research? Will it just
benefit the researchers for ranking purposes? If the process of
valuing is reversed then there is real value in the study.
Research is not conducted for research itself, presentation,
publication is incomplete without application.
