Goals	The purpose of this deriving proposed is; how to design and write from the beginning to the end of the scientific research by sticking to ethical rules, the techniques to show the quotations, bibliography and footnotes to be followed in the writing of the research, and how to present the results of the research. Students who take this course will be able to learn about topics such as research steps, data collection and interpretation of these data, textualization of research results, research and publication.
Course Content	The first issue that should be known in the preparation and presentation of a scientific work is the basic moral rules of research. It is necessary to publish the scientific research results so that they can be shared with others, interpreted and benefited from these results. At the point where the results of scientific research turn into publishing, "publishing" comes into play. Therefore, before starting a research, the person who will conduct the research must first know these basic moral rules. The issue that comes to the forefront in this point is the "plagiarism" issue that is frequently encountered in research. Many researchers may encounter this problem in their investigations, articles, reports or publications because they do not know or are incomplete. In the majority of the learners, there is a lack of research on how to design a research, which method to use, and which sequence to research. Moreover, after graduation, students may face similar problems in business life, whether they are in the public or private sector. It is thought that it would be useful to take such a course at the undergraduate level in completing the deficiencies seen in this issue. In the undergraduate and postgraduate programs in the country, the "Research Techniques", "Research Methods and Techniques", "Scientific Research Techniques and Research and Publication Ethics", "Scientific Research Techniques", "Scientific Research Methods", "Scientific Writing and Research Techniques" Similar courses are in place. However, there is no similar course related to this course offered by the Faculty of Agriculture of the University of Ankara. For this reason, it is suggested that this course, which is proposed to be opened, could fill this gap.
