Undoubtedly, choosing a proper and suitable methodology for a research is regarded as one of the most fundamental principles of a scientific research. Familiarity and knowledge of these research methodologies and approaches will lead to the emergence of valuable and reliable studies.The book, Research Methodology in Simple Language, is written by Maryam Sadeghi. In her book, the author endeavored to clarify the methods and principles of writing a thesis for the students of Persian Literature.The author of the current article concentrates on surveying and reviewing this book. He also points to the weak and strong points of the book in question. Based on findings of the article, despite the merits of the book such as dealing with research questions, containing specialized exercises, referring to the tables, and most importantly focusing on the field of Persian Literature, the book has many fundamental problems, including the contradiction between the title of the book and its content, the writer’s lack of attention to the basic rules of writing and editing, the presence of confusing sentences suffering from lack of enough information, and its incomprehensibility. These shortcomings will prevent its readers from not only its full understanding but also from benefitting from it.

I This research attempts to not only study the status quo of preparing theses at Iranian universities in the fields of Islamic banking and economy, but also explore the existing challenges in this area offer solutions to them. To this end, this study investigates a sample of theses defended at the University of Tehran, Shahid Beheshti University, Allameh Tabataba'i University, Imam Sadiq University, Tarbiat Modarres University, Mofid University, Al-Zahra University and the University of Economic Sciences. The findings of the research which have been obtained through the methods of library research and content analysis reveal that a significant number of defended theses focused on conventional economy. In the best-case scenarios, they have applied those areas on Iran’s economy. Thus, theses in which the concepts and applications of Islamic banking and economy are directly explored are few and far between. Furthermore, there appears to be a number of specific challenges and factors leading to the poor research in the area of Islamic banking and economy, which cannot be ignored. The findings of this research offer clear-cut solutions to reform the system of research in Islamic banking and economy.
