Saveetha Dental College has responded to concerns about its research practices. The college says only 0.01% of its papers have been retracted, which it claims is normal for scientific publishing.
College Defends Research Quality
The college says most retracted papers were not student research. They were commentaries by teachers. The college says its student research is very good. They say they have published over 50,000 papers. Only 290 were taken back. The college says this is normal in science. They also say they publish many high-quality papers with less money than big government colleges.
Concerns About Research Methods
Some people are worried about how the college does research. A study found many papers were in journals not about dentistry. It also said many papers were short letters, not full studies. The college says this study is wrong. They say they published 2,500 top papers in 2024 alone. The college wants rankings to look at how much good research costs, not just how much money is spent.
