Clarivate has released a report that explores the 'seismic' shift of the research landscape in 19 countries across the Middle East, North Africa and Turkey (MENAT) region over recent decades. The latest Global Research Report from the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) uses data from the Web of Science to demonstrate how MENAT research is growing in volume and impact, driven by increased participation in international research networks. To put the region’s research contribution into global context, ISI conducted a special analysis of MENAT research output mapped against the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Out of 819 SDG-related topics identified, MENAT countries have authored at least one paper in 253 topics (31 per cent). The increasingly international scope of the MENAT regional research base is seen in its researcher mobility and collaborations.
