Proposition of a Tool for Measure and Evaluation of Quality in Scientific Research

The importance to introduce quality in scientific research seen the various advantages that she can bring to it, as well as the absence of an evaluation tool of quality in research has led us to develop a questionnaire in this perspective. After apprehension of content of normative documents related directly to quality in research namely: experimental guide of quality in research, FD X50-550, FD X 50-551, GA X50-552 and NF X50-552, a synthetic list of main recommendations was establishes. It has served as a base for establishment of a questionnaire aiming at the diagnosis of quality in research. It composes of six parts treating generalities about the research laboratory, management of the laboratory, preparatory steps for scientific research action, realization of the research, valorization of results of the research and perspectives related to quality management. The questionnaire developed covers all research organizations: public and private laboratories, institutes, etc. This study will firstly concern the faculties of science and technology at the national level. The questionnaire is going to be administered to managers of laboratories via an electronic link.
