WELCOME to the Deanship of Academic Research (DAR)

DAR The University of Jordan, since its establishment, has realized the importance of research and its role in the development of nations. As part of the philosophy and mission of pursuing distinction amongst its activities in establishing a cultural passion for research and discovery and in supporting, promoting its tools, the University of Jordan has entrusted special diligence to scientific research and founded in the year 1973, the Deanship of Academic Research (DAR).

The deanship is responsible for organizing, supervising, promoting and supporting academic research as the means for vast development and technological advancement. The role that DAR is playing in augmenting and expanding human knowledge is recognized through persistently seeking ways and new endeavors to encourage, develop, promote and support scientific activities both locally and internationally. The deanship has largely concentrated and carefully considered modernizing and developing its tools to include interdisciplinary research with emphasis on integrated and comprehensive tracks in all disciplines. The deanship aims at achieving the university’s objective of helping faculty members at the university to push their research to internationally recognized levels and to promote scientific knowledge. The deanship provides researchers with whatever they need, from the latest equipment, to programs that help them accomplish their research proposals in the best possible manner.

The Deanship of Academic Research shoulders the following responsibilities:

  • Funding research projects conducted by faculty members and other university personnel. DAR ensures that most of applied research proposals are funded locally or from agencies within Jordan and international institutions. Special emphasis is, however, paid towards funding proposals of national interest and priority, e.g. energy, renewable energy and water.
  • Publishing original research proposals, studies, books, translations and manuscripts.
  • Issuing “Dirasat”, a refereed set of journals published in seven different fields: Administrative Sciences, Agricultural Sciences, Educational Sciences, Engineering Sciences, Human and Social Sciences, Pure Sciences, Sharia' and Law Sciences.
  • Issuing the following refereed journals in cooperation with the “Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research”: Jordan Journal for Agricultural Sciences, Jordan Journal for Business Administration, Jordan Journal for History and Archaeology, Jordan Journal for Pharmaceutical Sciences, Jordan Journal for Social Sciences, and Jordan Medical Journal.
