Description
Summary:Overall, the financial rewards can be regarded as a form of reciprocal appreciative exchange for students' diligence. [...]they are expected to positively contribute to establishing a continuum of extracurricular research activities and mutual student-institution benefits in the short- and long-term. Forms of academic recognition include acknowledgement of students' research achievements during medical schools' freshman convocations, graduation ceremonies, on-campus research symposia and on social media.8 Additional forms of academic recognition comprise inviting active student researchers to take part in administrative-level college meetings whereby they may be included, albeit to a regulated extent, in decision-making regarding on-campus research activities. [...]a somewhat debatable non-financial reward is considering students for extra bonus marks (whether in elective or core courses) as a reward for their valuable student-authored publications.
