Today, research and development (R&D) are included among the important global issues. What makes research important is innovation in science and opening new horizons for solving human problems. OE the other hand, higher education, functioning as a propelling force of a country particularly in training and specializing human forces, is expected to attend to this issue more than any other system. To analogize the relationship between the quality and efficiency of higher education, one can refer to the fact that the higher the quality of a research is, the more satisfied the researchers and the more useful the research will be. To achieve this objective, the important and basic elements of an acceptable research should be determined so that researchers and authorities can deal with these issues more carefully. In this research, using statistical procedures, we have tried to determine the dimensions of quality of a research from the view point of more than 700 faculty members of the Islamic Azad University of Dezful. Finally, to follow the paradigm used by Zetammel, four dimensions of the research quality were determined to be dealt with deeply and more importantly than others.
