Obstacles to writing scientific research Writing among graduate students at Sana'a University: A Sociological Study

Abstract

The study aimed to identify the obstacles to writing scientific research from the point of view of graduate students at Sana'a University. The researcher used the descriptive approach because it was appropriate for the subject of the study، and the questionnaire tool was prepared by the researcher. A simple random sample was chosen، numbering (86). male and female students was selected. The study yielded a set of conclusions، the most important of which are:

1-The results showed that most graduate students suffer from poor training in scientific research skills and difficulties in selecting topics and formulating problems، which confirms the need for intensive academic training.

2- The limited availability of up-to-date references and poor university library services have proven to be major obstacles، along with the difficulty of accessing global databases. This leads to poor quality research content and lengthens the time it takes to complete it.

 3-The results revealed problems in the relationship between student and supervisor، most notably poor communication، delayed feedback، and insufficient availability on the part of supervisors، all of which negatively impact the progress of student research.

4-It became clear that the lengthy and complex administrative procedures at the university constitute a significant obstacle to research completion، in addition to the lack of financial and logistical support and limited coordination between academic departments.
