8- The Center of Excellence for Research and Innovation at the Egyptian Russian University in Badr City, Cairo, held a scientific symposium on Monday, May 20, 2024, at the Faculty of Fine Arts, where Prof. Dr. Essam Khamis Ibrahim, Advisor to the President of the University for Academic Development and General Supervisor of the Center, gave a lecture entitled: “International Ranking of Globally Indexed Journals and Researchers’ Evaluation”, hosted by Prof. Dr. Mohamed Arabi, Dean of the Faculty, and attended by a number of faculty members, assistant staff at the university, and students of the Faculty of Fine Arts. The researchers, members of the Center of Excellence for Research and Innovation, also participated in the attendance. The Advisor to the President of the Egyptian Russian University for Academic Development explained that the lecture dealt with the history of issuing scientific journals, which began with the publication of the first French journal called “Journal of Scientists” in 1665 AD, and presented the scientific publishing file of the “Egyptian Russian University” and the latest scientific journals launched by the university entitled the Journal of the Egyptian Russian University for Research and the issuance of its fourth issue, and explained the most important global platforms that upload globally indexed journals and the number of journals uploaded to them. He referred to the Egyptian journals on the global Clarivate and Scopus platforms and presented examples of these Egyptian journals, and touched on the evaluation and ranking of scientific journals on these platforms and others. The European Reference Index for the Humanities and Social Sciences (ERIH) platform issued by Norway was presented, which is similar to the Clarivate and Scopus platforms in scientific journals. All journals included in the ERIH lists are classified based on categories A, B, and C, so that category A (a high-level international publication with a very strong reputation among researchers in this field and is regularly cited worldwide); category B (a standard publication at the international level with a good reputation among researchers in this field in various countries); and category C (an important publication at the local/regional level with mainly local/regional readers, but is sometimes cited outside the country of publication; only European publications were taken into account for this category). He added that most of the research published by the faculties of social sciences and humanities is written in Arabic, and international classifications often give priority to journals whose language of publication is English. Therefore, during the last ten years, a number of Arab databases have emerged, such as the Arab Impact Factor, the Arab Reference Citations (ARCI), and the Arab Index of Reference Citations and Quotations (ARCI), which worked to limit and classify Arab scientific journals in major databases in preparation for their classification.

9- Prof. Dr. Essam Khamis Ibrahim gave a public lecture entitled “Scientific Research from Standard to Creativity: Incubators, Companies, Science and Technology Valleys” on Monday, July 1, 2024, at the Startup Olympiad at the Egyptian Russian University.
