A research monograph is a detailed, in-depth publication that delves into a particular topic or subject matter. NCDRC required all researchers under NCDRC grants to submit a monograph upon project completion. The monograph presents original research findings, analyses, and interpretations in a particular field or discipline. It is a comprehensive and authoritative account of research and serves as a reference source for other researchers in the field. As such, research monographs play a vital role in advancing knowledge and understanding in various fields of study.
