Article Abstract:

Innovations in mass communications and transportation technology have broken down the geographical barriers across the globe. However, academic communities continue to persist in limiting their range of influence and societal contributions. For instance, studies on HIV and AIDS are being done simultaneously in different countries. The disorganization and virtual non-cooperation among scientists have hampered the emergence of more knowledge on AIDS and HIV and effective treatment strategies for the patients.
