Abstract:
This research project was carried out to evaluate the Ph.D.theses in agricultural and natural resources branches in the universities of the country in the years of 2011 and 2012. Totally 257 theses were evaluated. In this study, six scientific and applied indices were evaluated. One hundred points were given to each thesis; 70 points for scientific and 30 points for applied aspects of the thesis. All theses were qualitatively evaluated on the basis of Very good, Good, Average and Weak. The results of this investigation showed that: In Irrigation Branch: 14 theses were evaluated and as a result, the total average credits for quantitative and qualitative aspects were 67.29% and Average, respectively.
In Agricultural Economics, Extension and Education Branch: 15 theses were evaluated and as a result, the total average credits for quantitative and qualitative aspects were 83.53% and Good, respectively.
In Horticulture Sciences Branch: 20 theses were evaluated and as a result, the total average credits for quantitative and qualitative aspects were 69.65% and Average, respectively.
In Forestry and Environment Branch: 16 theses were evaluated and as a result, the total average credits for quantitative and qualitative aspects were 72.9 % and Average, respectively.
In Wood Sciences Branch: 16 theses were evaluated and as a result, the total average credits for quantitative and qualitative aspects were 82.02 and Good, respectively.
In Soil Science Branch: 21 theses were evaluated and as a result, the total average credits for quantitative and qualitative aspects were 71.5 % and Average, respectively.
In Animal Sciences Branch: 17 theses were evaluated and as a result, the total average credits for quantitative and qualitative aspects were 54.41 % and Weak , respectively.
In Crop Production and Breeding Branch: 24 theses were evaluated and as a result, the total average credits for quantitative and qualitative aspects were 77.5 % and Good, respectively.
In Fishery Branch: 11 theses were evaluated and as a result, the total average credits for quantitative and qualitative aspects were 75.27 % and Good, respectively.
In Food Science and Technology Branch: 25 theses were evaluated and as a result, the total average credits for quantitative and qualitative aspects were 71.44 % and Average, respectively.
In Plant Protection Branch: 39 theses were evaluated and as a result, the total average credits for quantitative and qualitative aspects were 74.97 % and Good, respectively.
In Farm Machinery Branch: 21 theses were evaluated and as a result, the total average credits for quantitative and qualitative aspects were 75.28% and Good , respectively.
In Range and Watershed Management Branch, 18 theses were evaluated and as a result, the total average credits for quantitative and qualitative aspects were 71.72% and Average , respectively.
The mean for all branches of the Agricultural Sciences Group from qualitative point of view, was evaluated as Average.
Some points on problems are pointed out and some suggestions are made.
