Given the importance of scientific research, which has become very crucial in this era and an important task for the university professor. Scientific research has an advantage for the university professor in rising the annual evaluation degree and in promoting to a higher academic rank and many others. In addition, it contributes in increasing the degree of evaluation of the department in the faculty as well as growing a university rank.

This research presented a section of them. The questionnaire was applied to a random sample of (143) individuals, faculty members at the University of Karbala. The results indicated that highest average for the obstacles are the personal obstacles with a relative importance of 2.90, followed by the data-related obstacles with 2.5, then the administrative obstacles with 1.96 and the last financial obstacles with 1.40. Several strategies can be applied to develop scientific research. the results of the study indicated that the most important ways to develop it from the viewpoint of faculty members were to provide the necessary financial support to finance research procedures, provide financial rewards in exchange for publishing research, provide modern references, cooperation between colleagues of faculty members in conducting research Joint, the university’s participation in global databases, increasing cooperation between the university and the concerned authorities in scientific research (such as ministries, institutions, and companies).
