A Study of the National Infrastructure for Science and Research

This paper considers the national infrastructure for science and research affairs. The focus is on research, researcher and its direct or indirect relationship with the scientific movement by the country. Based on this, a pyramidal structure is depicted which clarifies the research system. Research is not viewed as an individualized task, but as a systematic process that involves a wide range of subjects like determination of national strategies, the role of universities, managing solution of a scientific problem and evaluation of the results. This view of the subject illuminates the way that the organizations and individuals should interact during the process of scientific development. Based on this view, some important principles are emphasized for the national scientific planning that can result in a balanced scientific motion and increased motivation and awareness of the individuals. As a solution which is based on these principles, formation of a national virtual center for scientific research interactions is recommended.
