• Adopting the subject (manuscript editing) to be taught at the bachelor’s level in Yemeni universities, taking into account the specificity of specializations.


• Obliging graduate students in Yemeni universities to study and verify a manuscript.


• The need to pay attention to verifying Yemeni manuscripts so that researchers and scholars can benefit from them
