The Secretariat of the Scientific Council

This document constitutes the detailed executive application framework for the scientific promotion regulations for Qassim University faculty members, translating its general provisions into accurate, clear, applicable, and measurable standards and procedures. The rules specify the minimum scientific output required for promotion in each academic rank across humanities, sciences, and health specialties. They define accredited scientific journals, mechanisms for calculating joint research, books, and publications, and the applicable arbitration conditions. The rules also clarify the application procedures through the deanship and then the secretariat of the Deans' Committee, the stages of formal and technical review, the formation of arbitration committees, and the criteria for evaluating teaching performance. This document targets faculty members applying for promotion, deanships responsible for preparing files, the Standing Committee for Promotions and file reviewers, and the secretariat's support staff responsible for initial review and referral. The rules are updated upon any modification to the parent regulations issued by the Council of Higher Education, and they are published on the official website of the Deans' Committee Secretariat.
