Changing the Insight of Scientists in High Income Countries: A Solution for Collaborative Research with Lower Income Countries

as well. The scientific gaps in some fields, less effective organizations, political, and financial obstacles are some examples. However, we would like to highlight one more important issue; a considerable portion of scientists in the developed countries do not have a deep and comprehensive view about the real situation in the developing countries. Honestly, we think they might have a distorted view about the capacities and the level of works in less developed countries. As a result of such a view, it would be difficult to establish a real scientific communication and collaboration between them. Therefore, it seems that a multi-dimensional strategy has to be taken by the scientific organizations in the developing countries with the following components: 1. Improving their capacities in order to minimize their gaps with the developed countries. 2. Working as a network and support each other efficiently by creating south-south links. 3. Changing the attitude of scientists in the developed countries and change their insight about the existing capacities in the developing countries
