Guidelines for ayush and non-AYUSH researchers for designing and reporting research studies

© 2020 Ancient Science of Life | Published by Wolters Kluwer Medknow Sir, A recent advisory notice published by the ministry of AYUSH,[1] India in April 2019, on non‐involvement of AYUSH experts in AYUSH based studies that are conducted and published, attracted our attention due to its implication on the current status of policy and practice in AYUSH research. We present this letter as our opinion about this important concern, and highlight pertinent factors that objectively evaluate the situation and hope this would initiate active discussion among major stakeholders and bring awareness about this issue.
