Damascus University came in first place locally and ranked 8201 globally, followed by Aleppo University in second place locally and 8732 globally, while Tishreen University ranked third at the level of Syria and 9558 globally.
Classification Criteria
SIMAGO is one of the most prominent international indicators that measure the performance of universities based on three main axes:
Scientific research (50%): The volume, quality, and number of citations published
Innovation (30%): Patents and scientific references in technical fields.
Community Impact (20%): The university's digital presence and the extent to which its research relates to the Sustainable Development Goals.
The ranking is based mainly on data from the Scopus database, which requires a minimum amount of scientific output to list universities.
Harvard University maintained the first rank globally, while American and Chinese universities dominated the top nine, followed by the British University of Oxford in tenth place.
