Doing a medical scientific research project is a unique educational experience for both under and postgraduate students. It demands an extremely high level of investment, both personal and intellectual, and the researcher is expected from the outset to assume a considerable degree of responsibility for his or her own learning. In addition, the scientific excellence and importance of the medical research is delivering information from generation to other.Scientific research is stimulation and challenging filed which affects on many opinion positively. In our believe that there are still many new exciting discoveries waiting to be found, hidden within human nature, and of beneficial use to humans and the environment.An understanding of the basic tenets of research is an important aspect of advanced training in medical field. Many Saudi Arabia medical and medical sciences programs now have a research requirement as part of their educational experience to introduce them to the methods of medical research. Students often have very little background of what a research involves, as a consequence many of the expectations they have of the early stages of a research programmers are formed in blankness. It is unsurprising therefore that many students report an initial sense of disappointment or disorientation early on in their period of project, feelings increased in many instances by the isolation and lack of peer support for researchers.The aim of this study is to estimate the knowledge of the medical student in Saudi Arabia about the fundamental of scientific research ideas & estimate their needs for product to increase the knowledge. In addition, over view about the opinion of academic doctors in the medical research.Methodology This study involved a 50 doctors and 320 medical students at Umm Al-Qura, King Abdulaziz, and King Soud universities. All volunteers were fill a questioner designed as two sections which gathering all the information about the research regulation and writing involve the basic statistical, references, ethics, and some programs used.Results & Conclusion: We found that more than 45% of students think there are a sources teaches them how can produce a research but about 38.8% said that there are no unless here in KSA. However, about 72% need sources. On the other hands, about 85% said that they hope if there is a source (like CD-Rom or USB-Flash) tell them in details all steps of doing scientific research. In spite of, there were 42% of them preferred to having guiding Booklet with the CD-Rom and 62% preferred a workshop. Finally, we decided to produce a product which will help them in Bachelor and Master degrees to write a scientific research in national scales.
