Basic sciences research lays the foundation for advancement in knowledge that leads applications of sciences to problem-solving, occasionally as a result of <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serendipity\">unexpected discoveries</a>.  Pure basic sciences may also focus on <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falsifiability\">refuting or supporting theories</a> that explain how this world operates, what makes things happen, etc. It is the source of most new scientific ideas and ways of thinking about the world. Basic science research generates new ideas, principles and theories, which may not be immediately utilized but instead, form the basis to modern progress and development of different fields.</p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Most scientific progress made so far are the results of findings obtained through basic or curiosity driven research. Today\'s computers for example, could not exist without the pure research in mathematics conducted over a century ago, for which there was no known practical application at that time. Pure research rarely helps practitioners directly with their everyday concerns. Nevertheless, it stimulates new ways of thinking about deviances that have the potential to revolutionize and dramatically improve how practitioners deal with a problem. A new idea or fundamental knowledge is not generated through pure basic sciences research alone but new knowledge could be built through it.</p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http://ResearchAffairs.haramaya.edu.etwp-content/uploads/2017/09/Theme-6-Description.pdf\"><u>For details, click here</u></a></p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http://ResearchAffairs.haramaya.edu.etwp-content/uploads/2017/10/2017-Theme-VI-Priority-research-areas.pdf\"><u>Research priorities 2017</u></a></p><p><a href=\"http://ResearchAffairs.haramaya.edu.etwp-content/uploads/2017/10/2016-Theme-VI-Priority-research-areas.pdf\"><u>Research priorities 2016</u></a></p><p> </p>', 'Theme VI-BSR', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '521-revision-v1', '', '', '2017-11-08 10:42:57', '2017-11-08 10:42:57', '', 521, 'http://localhost/?p=4145', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

The role of media for tourism, development, good governance, education etc. will be addressed.</p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This sub-theme specifically draws on cross-disciplinary problems and social issues such as sociology, anthropology, political science, philosophy, social psychology, social ecology, language, literature, communication, culture, and heritage resources, and tourism.  All our present ecological problems arise from deep-seated social problems imbedded within the socio-cultural values and norms. Conversely, present ecological problems cannot be clearly understood and sustainably resolved without resolutely dealing with societal problems. For example, apart from those problems, natural catastrophes and economic, ethnic, cultural, and gender inequality challenges lay at the core of the most serious ecological dislocation the country faces today.</p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a name=\"_Toc389157679\"></a><strong>Research Areas</strong></p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a name=\"_Toc389157680\"></a><em>4.1.1.

Contributions are thus welcome from the diverse and interrelating fields of social sciences and humanities such as Sociology, Social Work, Social Anthropology, History, Political Sciences, Human Geography, Gender and Development Studies, Social Psychology, Peace and Development/Conflict Studies, Linguistics, Literature and Folklore, Cultural Studies, Law, Media and Communication Studies, Tourism and Development, Urban Planning (its social aspects), and Education. The journal gives priority to empirical works, but also encourages outstanding contributions that deal with the methodological and theoretical dilemmas spanning the fields of social sciences and humanities. Critical reviews of newly published books and short research communications are also considered.</p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http://ResearchAffairs.haramaya.edu.etwp-content/uploads/2017/10/East-African-Journal-of-Social-Sciences-and-Humanities_INSTRUCTIONS-TO-AUTHORS-2.pdf\"><strong>Instruction for Authors </strong></a></p>		\n					Archive 				\n				<p><a href=\"http://ResearchAffairs.haramaya.edu.etwp-content/uploads/2017/10/Vol.-1-Issue-2.pdf\">Vol. 1 Issue 2</a></p><p><a href=\"http://ResearchAffairs.haramaya.edu.etwp-content/uploads/2017/10/Vol.-1-Issue-1-1.pdf\">Vol. 1 Issue 1</a></p>\n		', 'East African Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '3813-revision-v1', '', '', '2017-11-08 12:13:38', '2017-11-08 12:13:38', '', 3813, 'http://localhost/?p=4188', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

Demand-driven research plays a key role in this transformation. With this regard, Haramaya University (HU) has made great contribution in the generation and dissemination of knowledge and technologies in Ethiopia. However, in order to address the growing demands for new technologies and innovations in the country, the University should engage in more rigorous and demand-driven research. Though it has been engaged in research activities since its establishment as college of agriculture, the university does not have comprehensive policy to direct its research undertakings. Thus, this policy document is developed to ensure the relevance, quality and impact of research activities carried out in the University. In the process of developing this research policy, challenges that the University encountered to realize its research vision and mission were assessed. Besides, experiences of different national and international higher learning institutions were consulted.</p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In this research policy, critical elements for successful research undertakings such as human resource, finance, infrastructure, research process management, research ethics, and dissemination of research outputs and assessment of their impacts have been addressed. This policy, therefore, provides a framework towards ensuring transparency and accountability in all research endeavors of the University. Moreover, it serves as a foundation for the development of any other guidelines and working documents pertaining to research undertakings in the university. It is hoped that researchers will find the document useful and abide by it for the realization and accomplishment of the research vision and mission of our University.</p><ul><li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http://ResearchAffairs.haramaya.edu.etwp-content/uploads/2017/09/Reseach-Policy.pdf\"><u>Research policy </u></a></li></ul>', 'Research Policy', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '566-revision-v1', '', '', '2017-11-08 12:26:05', '2017-11-08 12:26:05', '', 566, 'http://localhost/?p=4196', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

However, with the dramatic increases in the number of scholarly and creative works produced at the University as well as with the rising challenges being posed by poor quality and/or unethical publication outlets, establishing merit of scholarly publications and creative works has now become more onerous than ever before. Therefore, it is imperative to prepare and use guidelines to thoroughly vet publications and creative works submitted by staff members for academic promotions, employment, and related purposes.</p><ul><li><a href=\"http://ResearchAffairs.haramaya.edu.etwp-content/uploads/2017/09/Guideline-for-establishing-merits-of-publication-and-creative-works-at-Haramaya-University.pdf\"><u>Guidelines for Establishing Merit of Publications and Creative Works at Haramaya University</u></a></li></ul><p>Guidelines for Research Incentives and Rewards(Draft)</p><p>In Haramaya University, researchers have long been engaged in research activities that benefited the local communities and the nation at large. However, researchers have not been adequately recognized for their contributions through incentive mechanisms. As a result, the university could not ensure its researchers\' full engagement in result-oriented research activities. Thus, to increase research outputs, stimulate participation in research endeavors, enhance competitiveness and raise the university profile at national and international levels, it is important to create incentive and award system for acknowledging staff for their contributions. This document is meant to provide a framework for merit-based recognition of researchers. The ultimate goal is to build motivated and devoted scientific or scholarly community in the university.</p><ul><li><a href=\"http://ResearchAffairs.haramaya.edu.etwp-content/uploads/2017/09/Research-Incentives.pdf\"><u>Guidelines for Research Incentives and Rewards</u></a></li></ul><p>Research Proposal, Research Report, Manuscript, and Policy Brief(Draft)</p><p>Over the past decades, Haramaya University has been expanding.

Cognizant of this, the university has organized its research activities in thematic areas. Besides, the university has increased its national and international research collaborations. The volume of research being carried out in the university is also increasing. Therefore, it is imperative to have a uniform system of research activities.
