Abstract

The article involves na evaluation proposal for Scientific Research Works (SRW) derived from Undergrad courses, which can be extended to researches executed  by Teachers, to Master’s degree dissertations and also to Doctoral Theses. Basically, the nature of the scientific method is discussed. Adittional ethical-social objectives – seen as inherent and indispensable to the research are incorporated. The interaction of both elements leads to a new concept : “holistic scientific quality “, on which the structure of the criteria of evaluation of the researches is based, in a total de 24 ( 11 scientific or methodological aspects ; 08 ethical-social and 05 complementary aspects). Specific weights are suggested for each criterion and through na example it is shown to classify each research in a scale composed by six levels ( excellent, very good, good, enough, insufficient and unacceptable).
