Deanship of Scientific Research, University of Bisha
Introduction
The concept of scientific research has been linked globally with the progress and advancement of societies, and according to the 7 Ps Model, it is known that the outputs of scientific research are produced through research Projects that are based on good Planning in line with general Policies, after implementation, the outputs are graded in four stages: Start with the Publications as a first output, when scientific research is filled with creativity, the second output Patents is produced. Then this creativity is transformed into a physical image of innovations, to show the third output represented in Prototypes which in most cases is adopted by various sources of finance and investment to reach the fourth and final stage and these are the Products that translate to the slogan "Made in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia".
