Research is a pillar of knowledge activity that is the basis for the progress and development of a human civilization. While synergy in research has been given priority by Islam through the verses of the Quran which means; "And help each other in goodness" (al-Maidah , 2) and the hadith of the Prophet SAW which means: "The power of God with a group of people" (Sunan al-Tirmidzi, 1998). Synergy is the core to quality, quantity, and human excellence in developing worldly civilization and hereafter (ukhrawi) success. In the academic world, research needs synergy and strategy in tandem to add value to the quality of a study. Among the strategies in research is the quantity that plays a role in increasing the excellence of civilization, especially in the academic field. Research synergies can develop ideas that have been jointly released more quickly, diverse, and efficiently. Although many early scholars were recorded as renowned researchers with thousands of volumes of excellent manuscript writing individually, but their research has been updated by academics in groups in terms of editing and reviewing for the purpose of quality publication. Group research strategy is very good in terms of generating ideas, discussion of topics and distribution of the scope of assignments in order to produce quality research. In addition, the diversity of writing fields also needs to be strengthened by each member of the research team even if the person has a specific and dedicated field of specialization. A variety of types of writing, such as inventions, reviews, translations, descriptions, summaries and so on are able to add to the quantity of research. Synergy between humans and technology is necessary and the mastery of social media by some members of the research team in seeking information can identify the information obtained is up to date and not repetitive. The synergy in research inculcating new ideas will be more efficient to assess the authenticity of ideas so as not to be seen as stealing information or being an academic predator. Research produced in groups will cause an organization and country to be more recognized and well respected, especially in the rating of the competent bodies on academic organizations, where the quality of research and quantity are highly emphasized to make it a superior academic organization. In the Malaysian higher education system, the quantity and quality of research is a equivalent requirement for the rating of the academic institution. Indeed, research is a symbol of the quality of a country's civilization. Hopefully, this study will be published for the purpose of being expanded to relevant parties to advance the academic world.
