Study to increase the quality of the scientific research process

Abstract

At present, increasing attention is paid to the quality of products and processes in different fields of activity. Currently, universities and other institutions with research activities scientifically, are increasingly concerned with the implementation of quality management through different one’s methods and tools. Quality Management provides a range of tools that can be used to find solutions when it comes to improving quality. In this paper the authors present a study on the tree diagram determination, for quality improvement the scientific research process. The important measures to be taken have been identified for the successful completion of a scientific research process. To increase the quality of the scientific research process, has grouped the identified measures and thus leads to an orientation to three specific objectives: the organization’s management adequately assures the necessary resources; the head of the research collective adequately organizes the research activity; the research collective chooses and applies an adequate research methodology on the theme. A measure from the third specific objective is considered to be a secondary objective, and for it specific actions are provided which constitute level 4 of the tree diagram. A diagram has been developed that includes: the general objective, the specific objectives, the measures identified for the achievement of the objects. The paper presents a tree diagram that can be used in the quality management within the frame of the organizations which desire to improve the quality of the scientific research activities. The use of this diagram offers the advantage to examine in a chronological and logical sense the causes which determine the quality of a scientific research process
