In Haiti, scientific researchers are making considerable efforts despite the obstacles. They often work in difficult conditions with limited resources. Their work aims to solve local problems in public health, sustainable agriculture, environmental protection and many others. Despite the challenges, their determination to contribute to the progress of their country is remarkable.
There are several organizations, academic institutions and research laboratories in the country that focus on scientific research such as CREGED, LAQUE, CRAPU, CHIBAS, CERED, EDSE, CRISH, ISTEAH, and Quisqueya University.[1][2][3]
The challenges of scientific publication[edit]
In Haiti, communication remains a major challenge for the popularization of scientific research. Scientific research is mainly published in French. Only 42% of the Haitian population is able to express themselves in French and the majority speaks Creole, which is the official language of the country. This prevents the dissemination of knowledge in the country, despite research focused on local issues.
Outlook[edit]
Faced with this chaotic situation facing researchers, universities and other entities have implemented methods to raise funds to encourage scientific research. Among these entities, we can cite the Bank of the Republic of Haiti.
The score of certain indicators, such as bibliometrics, has increased in different fields, such as the environment, health and agronomy via research carried out at Quisqueya University.[4]
Role of researchers[edit]
Researchers play a crucial role in society by conducting research and developing innovative solutions to solve problems in diverse fields, from medicine to engineering to the environment. They contribute to advancing science and improving people's lives through programs such as the study of organic matter in sediments to model environmental changes over the last millennium using a core sample of sediments from Lake Azuei in Haiti.[5]
