دراسة تحليلية لأسباب ضعف النشر العلمي لتدريسيي كليات العلوم الإسلامية في العراق في المجلات المفهرسة عالميًّا

Abstract

This research aims to explore and analyse the reasons for the weakness of scientific publishing by teachers of Islamic sciences colleges in Iraq in international journals, such as Scopus and Clarivate. The research aims to offer practical recommendations for enhancing scientific publishing practices and elevating the standard of academic research in these institutions. The research relied on the descriptive-analytical method. Personal interviews, questionnaires, data analysis, and content and data analysis methods were used. Interviews were conducted with a sample of faculty members from colleges of Islamic sciences, and an electronic questionnaire was distributed to a larger sample. In addition, data for scientific publications in Scopus, Clarivate, university statistics and official reports were collected and analysed. The results indicate several main reasons for the lack of scientific publishing in Islamic science colleges in Iraq, including lack of awareness, limited resources, weak English language skills, lack of institutional support, traditional curricula, and work pressures. The researchers recommended several recommendations, including: 1- Increase awareness of the importance of scientific publishing by providing the necessary resources and support. 2- Enhancing English language skills and providing academic guidance. 3- Modernizing the academic curriculum for scientific research and keeping pace with modern trends while reducing administrative burdens on professors. The researchers recommend conducting similar research in other contexts, studying the impact of scientific publishing on university classification, and exploring the cultural and social factors that affect this classification.
