Nepali Research Institutions

  • A curated list of Nepali research institutions and labs.
  • To make into this list, the organization must regularly update their list of contributions in peer-reviewed conferences and journals of "good quality".
  • Reports written by NGOs without any corresponding publications in a peer-review journals/conferences do not count!

We know, "good quality" is difficult to measure, this is a TODO. We hope that we can come up with some metrics for this {(suggestions are welcome :)}.
