| Goals | The aim is to enable graduate-level researchers to understand the systematic stages of the scientific research process and to equip them with the competence to act in accordance with international ethical standards at every stage of these processes. |
| Course Content | This course covers fundamental concepts of scientific research, starting with defining the research problem, developing hypotheses, and advanced literature review techniques. The curriculum includes the theoretical framework of quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods, as well as resource management and data analysis processes for academic integrity. The final stage of the program focuses on academic writing according to international IMRaD standards, peer-review processes, and strategies to avoid ethical violations such as plagiarism, aiming to equip researchers with an integrated publishing discipline. |
