This article examines the role of digital human resources training in the mastery of digital research management (DRM) in universities. For they are primarily responsible for structural change and innovation in university research. Notwithstanding this, this paper aims to detect and identify the technical and digital deficiencies that mitigate the level of achievement in research. Method: Our approach is based on an empirical study via a sample of 135 research specialists who will be interviewed and organized as follows: 34 teachers and 34 PhD students from the université Chouaib Doukkali in El Jadida, and 33 teachers and 34 PhD students from the université d' Ain Chock in Casablanca. Nevertheless, we focused on the use of SPSS software. The chi-square test and Cramer's Phi V will form the basis of our analysis, in order to process and interpret the data. At the same time, we will assess the correlation and strength of the relationship between the dependent and independent variables Our study is based on a hypothetico-deductive approach that takes into consideration a mixed reflection based on qualitative and quantitative methods. The results of this study reveal that human resources are not being provided with specific training in MDR research, which is seen as a means of strengthening and modernizing research in higher education. Result: The results attest those human resources are not trained by digital management strategies to carry out research projects, however, cel impacts relevance, excellence and above all innovation in scientific research. Conclusion: In short, the aim of this article is to explore and determine the level of training of human resources for a digital transformation that positively impacts the world of creation, invention and innovation of new professional knowledge, reflexive and professionalizing, specific to scientific research on a national and international scale.
