This study aimed to study the reality of using expert systems in research centers, and the field study was carried out on the Nuclear Research Center in Tajura, by providing a theoretical background that includes the emergence of expert systems, and the basic concepts of expert systems, and their characteristics. As well as learning about the applications of expert systems, and the reasons and justifications for using expert systems in the field of scientific research. and presenting a number of recommendations that would help in the use of expert systems in research centers in Libya. In order to achieve the objectives of the study, a questionnaire was designed, aiming at a field study of the variables of the study problem, in order to test hypotheses by using the descriptive method in the analytical method, and the study reached a set of results, the most important of which are: The reasons that prevent the use of expert systems in the institutions of the study community, refer to Lack of technological skills for workers and researchers, the low quality of the information provided, and the difficulty in obtaining information in the same field. The study also revealed the low balance of the Nuclear Research Center, which is the subject of the study, from sources of information of various types and forms, as the balance of books reaches 10900 titles, of which 37 periodicals were reached and a set of recommendations were reached, the most important of which are: Motivating researchers to conduct research and studies on the design of expert systems in various fields, and directing to building databases in research fields, which are considered the nucleus for establishing expert systems. The study also recommended that the study institutions prepare and train the specialized technical and administrative cadres
