2.  To research is to investigate systemically.
(French origin word)
 Research comprises “creative work undertaken
on a systematic basis to increase the stock of
knowledge – including knowledge of humankind,
culture and society – and the use of this stock to
innovate new applications.”

4.  “You need a pipeline of researchers,” says
Fox, DMD, DMSc, executive director of the
International and American Associations for
Dental Research (IADR/ AADR). “That means
encouraging students to pursue academic
and dental research careers.”

5. (My own point of view)

9.  In our modern Arab culture, we miss having
alternatives. Although skillful people around
us are the people of alternatives.

24.  In the past few decades there has been much
focus on innovation and collaboration.
 Innovation is deemed to be the key to the
advancement of various world economies and
the solution of the many challenges faced in
today’s world.
 Because of the increasing complexity of the
problems faced in many areas, collaboration of
people with many different skills and
backgrounds, as well as different racial, ethnic
and cultural groups.
 Diverse Groups Collaborators may have
complementary knowledge bases that facilitate
the development of creative solutions.
 This is a very reasonable assumption.

25.  Each consists of:
 A lead researcher
 A group of students
 Possibly postdoctoral fellows, and technical staff.
 The members do not necessarily work on the same
research study.
 What defines the group are the area of study, and
most importantly, the lead researcher, who is often a
professor at a research university.
 Research groups can have different structures:
either loosely or tightly organized.

26.  The students and postdoctoral fellows associated with
all of the lead researcher’s projects work together in
shared laboratory space. (center of action)
 These groups meet on a regular basis to:
1. Report on the progress of their research
2. Share knowledge and skills
3. Critique one another’s research.
4. They may also engage in the collective reading and critique of
the literature in journal clubs.
 The proximity of students, postdoctoral fellows, and
the lead researcher in the laboratory provides for
informal discussions.
 They also engage in social activities together, such as
cookouts and holiday and birthday parties.

28.  In the Research
Project, students
have the opportunity
to study an area of
interest in depth.
 They use their
creativity and
initiative, while
developing the
research and
presentation skills
they will need in
further study or
work.

30.  Mentorship is a relationship in which a more
experienced or more knowledgeable person
helps to guide a less experienced or less
knowledgeable person. The mentor may be
older or younger, but have a certain area of
expertise. It is a learning and development
partnership between someone with vast
experience and someone who wants to learn.

31.  Supervisor finding
 Supervisor invasion
 The social Media for Scientists (researchgate,
Academia and LinkedIn)
 Collaboration between Institutes and
Professors.
 The Research Community

32.  Email of your Institute
 CV and Cover Letter

33. “ Scientific research is funded by public
authorities, by charitable organizations and
by private groups, including many
companies.” (Wikipedia/Research)
