Two Recommendations to the Ministry of Science, Research, and Technology with Regard to the Scientific-Research Papers

Although the regulations of promoting the faculty membersor changing their position are in terms of defining and formulating the principles quite useful, they are incomplete in certain aspects such as enactments and explanations about the research works. In this article, the author by providing some examples of Persian literature major raises two suggestions regarding how to review and rate the scientific-research papers. These two proposals are as follows: 1. A technical and exact review of the content of the published papers, not the journals in which they are published; 2. The acceptance of only two joint papers in which the name of a student/students is along with the name of the faculty member who is an applicant for promotion.
