Summary: 
The development of scientific research in the university as well as the development of research university models is increasingly attracting the attention of many scholars as well as scientific and educational policy makers of many countries around the world, including developing countries. Developing scientific research in the university as well as building the research university model is quite expensive and requires a developed national institutional environment to a certain extent. However, the development of scientific research in universities in general and research universities in particular has a particularly important mission in national sustainable development and requires countries, including developing countries and every university needs to have appropriate solutions and steps. This paper contributes to the clarification of the role and the application of theories to explain the role of university’s scientific research.
