Research Center
The Research Center at Onaizah Colleges was established in the academic year 1437–1438 AH with the aim of activating research activities, supporting both theoretical and applied studies, and encouraging faculty members to engage in scholarly work. This is intended to achieve the highest levels of research excellence and to cultivate a distinguished group of researchers among both faculty and students by providing the necessary resources and offering a wide range of administrative, technical, and financial services.The Center delivers an extensive portfolio of research initiatives and encourages all researchers within the colleges to participate and to publish their work in highly ranked international journals and scientific conferences. Among the initiatives launched and supported by the Center—each of which has contributed significantly to the development of research output and quality publication—are the Sabbatical Initiative, the Onaizah Governorate Research Initiative, the Joint Research Initiative between faculty members and students, and Contract Research Projects.Since its establishment, the Center has supported the publication of approximately 300 research projects across various theoretical and applied disciplines. Most of these works have been published in high-impact, peer-reviewed scientific journals indexed in databases such as Scopus and ISI, while others have been presented at local and international scientific conferences.The Center operates under the umbrella of the Research Council, with an affiliated Scientific Research Committee. Organizationally, the Center comprises a Director, deputy directors for both male and female sections, coordinators representing the College of Humanities and Administrative Sciences and the College of Engineering and Information Technology, coordinators for the female section, and a language editor. All members function in accordance with the Council’s organizational structure. Administratively, the Center reports to the Associate Vice President for Postgraduate Studies and Scientific Research.
