Abstract :
The purpose of this article is to determine the components and indicators of research quality improvement in Iranian higher education system. This study, using qualitative research approach and thematic analysis, has studied the components and indicators of research quality improvement in Iranian higher education system. The statistical population of this study consisted of experts, experts and faculty members who were selected through purposeful sampling from 12 members. In-depth interviews were used for data collection and thematic analysis techniques were used to analyze the data. The validity of the research findings was ensured by member review methods, peer review, and participatory research. Also, in order to evaluate the reliability of the coded data, test-retest reliability and in-subject agreement were used. Findings showed that dimensions and components of research quality improvement in Iranian higher education system (organizational supervision, physical equipment, expert researchers, up-to-date resources, clear goals, organizational support, applicability of research and promotion of educational centers) are indicators. Promoting research includes training a researcher, preventing academic theft, reforming university structures and laws, observing justice, and addressing needs.
