ARCIF’s Objectives

The ARCIF project is a scientific and cultural necessity for the Arab world in light of an ever-increasing scientific research movement and the need to develop of its methods:

• Provide a scientific and normative methodology for assessing and measuring the Impact Factor of Arab scientific journals in an objective and quantifiable basis.
• Establish a standard measuring tool in the field of scientific research and publication in the Arab world with credibility and reliability, and serve as a benchmark in the evaluation of Arab scientific journals, in a way that contributes to the identification of the most influential and useful research.
• Provide data and indicators to measure Arab intellectual production, documenting it as heritage and as a cultural investment, and re-considering it in the absence of data and indicators that may reduce its size and importance, thus accentuating its presence within the indicators of global intellectual production.
• Overcome the problem that is the overuse of foreign languages by Arab researchers, necessary for the preparation of scientific research, for publication in scientific journals with the impact of the world-speaking English.
• To become a benchmark and a standard adopted in the ranking of Arab universities globally, specifically working to improve their positions and prestige.
