According to RCO News Agency, Dr. Ramin Kurdi at the National Conference on Research and Technology of Medical Sciences of Medical Sciences, attended by Dr. Mohammad Reza Zafargandi, Minister of Health, Dr. Shahin Akhundzadeh, Deputy Director of Technology Research at the Ministry of Health, said: “The question of the scieific articles has been asked.” A group that is not familiar with research and a group that seriously think of research and its application. If we look at the growth process of research at Tehran University of Medical Sciences, we find that the number of articles published was very limited since the beginning of the Dar al -Fonoon in the year of the year. But in the last 5 years, we have seen a significa increase in the number and quality of scieific articles.
He added: “Initially, there were encourageme to write Persian articles and then policies led to the publication of English articles and priing in publications with a high impact factor.” But we need to consider whether these articles have been able to help solve the coury’s problems or have merely increased the quaitative of the articles.
We sometimes retain the appearance of research
In another part of his speech, the Vice Preside of Research and Technology of Tehran University of Medical Sciences addressed the challenges in the coury’s scieific developme and stated: “One of the problems in developing couries is the similarity of scieific structures without achieving the desired efficiency. This is also visible in our coury.
He said that if the unjust world remains honey bee, he emphasized: If financial resources are to be spe on research, these research should either coribute to the developme of science or solve the coury’s problems. Otherwise, the quaitative increase in articles may not be a measure of scieific progress alone.
The need to change the attitude in scieific evaluation
Referring to the scieific evaluation models in the world, Kurdi said: “In many prestigious universities around the world, instead of focusing on the number of articles and quaitative indicators, the qualitative evaluation of research is being evaluated.” Research assessme model in some couries, such as Sweden and Germany, has also changed to qualitative and multidimensional review. We also need to practice to take a quaitative way of distance and pay more atteion to the value and effectiveness of research.
In the end, the Vice Preside of Research and Technology of Tehran University of Medical Sciences emphasized the need to adopt new approaches to research policy, saying: “Our researchers have so far put a lot of effort and promoted the coury’s scieific status. But now it’s time to change the command a little and move on to problem -orieed research. Scieific policymakers should decide whether they only emphasize the increase in the number of articles, or will encourage researchers to solve the coury’s real challenges.
“To achieve sustainable scieific developme, we need to change the look at research and focus on quality and its impact,” he said.
