The careful selection of academic staff and graduate students, especially Ph.D. candidates, is one of the elements of achievement in higher education and research institutes, and other academic processes are directly rely on the quality of these selections. The most common way to select these individuals is based on academic interview. Field work based on written questioners in schools of agriculture revealed that academic staff and interviewees express some criticisms of the current interview process, and there are no standard protocols for the interview process. In order to understand the pathology of the current procedure of scientific interview in higher education and research institutes from the viewpoint of interviewers and interviewees, this review attempts to provide a practical approach as a step-by-step protocol to enhance the proficiency of the scientific interview for academic staff in fields of Agricultural Sciences.
