The College of Education for Women, Department of History, held a training workshop in cooperation with the Scientific Affairs Unit tagged (Reading Knowledge of the Foundations of Evaluating Academic Research) in which Prof. Dr. Samira Abdul Razzaq Abdullah lectured.
The workshop aims to identify the research’s weaknesses and strengths, the extent of the researcher’s commitment to the steps of scientific research, and the benefit provided by the research to science. Thus, the evaluation contributes to raising the quality of scientific research, and the evaluator must adhere to the ethics of scientific research, which include sincerity, honesty, and integrity in work.
The workshop reached a set of recommendations, the most important of which is that the evaluator known for his accurate work and erudition must be selected. Seminars should be organized in the field of scientific evaluation for inexperienced arbitrators in order to develop their skills and qualify them for the evaluation process in an ideal manner. A scientific committee of experts in the field of scientific arbitration should be established whose task would be to set the necessary standards for scientific control and develop these standards from time to time.
This workshop achieves one of the sustainable development goals represented by the fourth goal, which calls for quality education.
