Abstract

Abstract The study investigates the scientific creativity and impeds of scientific research in Khartoum University. To achieve this aim, scientometric approach and content analyses were used for the list of publications in CV5 of 297 _ participants, both male (71.7%) and female (28.3%), from science (57.6%) and arts faculties (42.4%). A questionnaire was designed for investigating the impeds of scientific research to a sample of 131 participants. The study showed that the percentage of scientific producers (60.6%) and those have creative citation or impact (35.9%). The total number of creative production was 2764 papers and the average of creative production was 9,31 paper while for creative consumption,2,29 citation. The annual production for the single researcher was 0,53 paper per year compared to about 0,33 for Arab countries. It showed that the researchers who have been trained in Europe have the highest level of scientific production (77,9%) and consumption (71.1%), USA production (18,9%) and consumption (24,5%) anti thosewho have*been trained locally in Sudan have the lowest contribution in both production and consumption, (3,2) and (4,4%), respectively. Additionally, it showed that full professors on average have the highest level of scientific production (10,l5) paper and consumption ‘ (29,57) citation, associate professors their production (9,26) paper and ' consumption (27,88) citation and then assistant professors production (7,9l) paper and consumption ( 16,62) citation. The study showed that 10% of prolific creative researchers contributed 43% and 79% of the total creative production and consumption, respectively. This result confirmed the Methew's effect in Sudan. The average number of creative production and consumption of prolific researchers was 40 papers and 207 citations, respectively. Generally, the study showed no significant differences in production and consumption due to gender, specialization, and place of training. The study showed that the H-Index of researchers was ranged between 1-12=points.~It showedvthat there was a negative correlation between scientific production and consumption and impeds of scientific research. The social and economic impeds have more negative impact in both scientific production and consumption. Finally, several _ Y recommendations and suggestions were reached. * Keywords: scientometry, creative production, creative consumption, citation, prolific researcher, Mathew’ effect, h-index.
