The ARCIF scientific teams reviewed the data of 229,500 Arab authors within 623,000 scientific articles and concluded that 44,800 Arab authors were cited for their scientific and academic works in 2021.

Meanwhile, in an evaluation of the 167 journals focusing on economic and financial sciences and business administration, Jordan ranked with its “Jordanian Journal of Business Administration”, followed by Palestine, Algeria, and Egypt.

In terms of scientific bodies and institutions, which totaled 928 institutions, Yarmouk University had the third highest number of citations (3,329), followed by the University of Jordan with 2,942 citations. Al-Balqa Applied University came in sixth.
