export of articles and import of equipment in the field of sensors; and the problems behind

As we all know, over the past few decades, the country's growth rate for article printing has increased, and we have overtaken many other countries, especially our neighbors. among other academic disciplines, chemistry has been at the forefront of this movement. researchers across the country are particularly interested in developing a variety of sensors. iranians have written more than 18,000 papers in the subject of sensors, according to scopus data. of course, in addition to chemists, researchers from other fields including physics, chemical engineering, material science, electronics, etc. have also been active in this area. unfortunately, despite the great success in publishing articles, we have not made much progress in the technology of applying these ideas. for example, more than 500 articles on the design of glucose measurement sensors have been reported by iranian researchers. meanwhile, only one domestic company has produced a glucometer instrument. more than 50 models of glucometers and 60 models of blood sugar test strips are imported from other countries. it is natural that a lot of foreign currency is taken out of the country to import this equipment.what is the problem? in this lecture, we are trying to provide solutions by presenting the topic and enumerating some of the problems that are of interest to us academics. we hope to help solve this problem with the solutions provided by respected researchers after this lecture.
