Dear Yasser Fakri Mustafa one of the most important practical challenges is certainly the acquisition of research funds. Thus I acknowledge that this an even more serious issue in countries like Iraq. All the more it is admirable how you do exciting chemistry under these difficult conditions.

Dear Frank T. Edelmann

I fully agree with you my Professor.

Regards

Dear Yasser Fakri Mustafa

I think the most important obstacles and challenges that encountered us, as researchers, is the availability of financial support since with it we can overcome most of the difficulties and impediments like the availability of chemical reagents , chemical characterization or even researches publication.

Best regards.

Dear all, besides what is said by Prof. Frank T. Edelmann and Dr. Mahmood Khudhayer Oglah, there are many immaterial obstacles due to people with bad intensions who favor themselves and their admirators and exclude the rest. My Regards

Dear Mahmood Khudhayer Oglah

I fully agree with you my colleague.

Dear Abdelkader BOUAZIZ

I totally agree with your opinion. I actually suffer from that except the described people are not in my Lab but in the college. These people are usually seek for any simple mistake, magnify it for nothing but to stop you.

My brother.... you words open my wounds.

Regards

Sorry Doctor, do you believe that to stop my work, they cut water and electricity, they mix chemicals so that never find results or even you Can understand what is happening, they try to obligé me to teach courses that have nothing to do with my background, just for the sake to put me in an embarassing situation in front of student, to tell few. Again Dr. Yasser Fakri Mustafa sorry for making you remember sad moment, Hope they are now from the past. May be Prof. Frank T. Edelmann Can not imagin this happening in 2020. Kindest Regards

Dear Abdelkader BOUAZIZ

Always the fruit tree is thrown with stones and the consequence remains for the diligent

Regards

Dear Abdelkader BOUAZIZ, it is indeed hard to believe that such things happen in 2020. I'm really sorry to hear about these problems.

Dear Yasser Fakri Mustafa

The finding of the original idea is the most difficult step toward a successful research.

Dear All, another important challenge in connection with new research is that you constantly need to generate new ideas. Quite often, new ideas come up when reading the previous literature, even rather old articles.

Dear Professor Frank T. Edelmann

Thank you for sharing your opinion and expertise.

Dear All, judging from the previous answers so far, the biggest challenge appears to be missing or inadequate funding!

Thank you, Sir Yasser Fakri Mustafa and you are welcome, kind regards.

The most important challenges is students escape from academic research "physics and chemistry"

Dear Frank T. Edelmann

I fully agree with you.

Best regards my Professor.

Dear Ronald Gomeseria

Thank you too.

Establishing a standard protocol

Lack of fund for research and trained man power in lab

In social research especially when conducting a survey, the major challenge is the respondents, often times they feel reluctant to provide responses to questions or they give false responses, it's a major challenge to research output.

As a researcher in the field organic chemistry, in semicondictors the most important obstacles which may be faced are the availability in the semicondoctors opening of the optoelectronic properties, and the demonstrate of the mobility an organic semicondocor.that's why I did a research on an anthracene Derivative.

Dear Yasser Fakri Mustafa perhaps even more important than equipment etc. are inspiration and new ideas as well as a few dedicated co-workers.

Dear my professor Frank T. Edelmann

That is true. Thank you for your kind contribution

Dear Yasser Fakri Mustafa and all others interested in this discussion: One important challenge that researchers encounter while conducting new research is the timely writing of scientific publications. Especially if you have more than a handful of skilled co-workers it is quite a challenge to keep up with the writing of manuscripts.

Dear Frank T. Edelmann

This is absolutely true my Professor
