Iran leads the way to revive MENA commitment to knowledge
According to a latest study titled
The Changing Research Landscape of the Middle East, North Africa and Turkey by the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI), Iran has even left Israel and Turkey behind as the largest producer of research papers among 19 countries in the Middle East, North Africa and Turkey (MENAT), with its world share of the Web of Science literature – just 0.2% in 2000 – surging to 2.3% in less than two decades.
The latest ISI view of research in the MENAT, a region spreading from Morocco in the west to Iran in the east, is being enhanced by new developments led by the Egyptian Knowledge Bank, the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK) and the Islamic World Science Citation Center (ISC) in Iran.
