The National Archives organized a training course on “Scientific Research Methods” with the aim of enriching the specialized research skills of the researchers who work in it. This course comes to confirm the role of the National Archives in being a center for scientific research that enriches the history and heritage of the United Arab Emirates and the Arab Gulf region.

This training course falls within the framework of the strategic project “Partners in Knowledge” launched by the National Archives in 2016, which relies on self-sufficiency in the field of training and qualification, and is implemented by specialized staff. It includes a rich program of workshops and training courses on topics related to the tasks of the National Archives.

The training course organized by the National Archives at its headquarters dealt with scientific research methods: defining scientific research, which is the organized method for collecting, documenting and recording information away from feelings and bias. Scientific research is prepared away from feelings and bias, and according to systematic scientific steps.

The training course, which was lectured by the research expert Abdullatif Al-Sayadi over two days, touched on the characteristics of scientific research, such as the clarity of the research title and its comprehensiveness, information and facts related to it, then the characteristics of the researcher, such as the desire for research, patience, the queen of criticism, and the breadth of the circle of culture. It also shed light on the importance of what scientific research is, and solving its problems, the important commandments necessary before writing the research, the value and importance of the topic, the steps for preparing the scientific research, defining its methodology, methods of writing it, then references and documentation.

The training course, which dealt with the methods of scientific research - which was attended by a large number of interested and concerned staff and academics from the National Archives - focused on the role of scientific research in the development of science, and access to the latest information reached by modern scientific studies.
