How much of that is from 'double nationalities'?Tell me. Everybody knows 'the good ones' live in Europe and the US, not that third world desert you call home.
This H index is mostly affected by duration of time in which a country is publishing scientific papers. This index increases as world knows more about a new comer called Iran. In a decade from now, more scientists around the world know about Iranian scientists and this make H index higher year over year.
The fact is that Iran surpassed all ME nations a while a go. It is just scientific research papers. As you are informed earlier, Iran already blossomed in high tech industries too. Now, many of these research papers are produced by high tech companies who produce high tech products. I refer you to the last page of IRanian High Tech Industries thread. It mentions a high tech company that also is publishing their papers.
Beside government huge military and civil scientific and technological activities, Over 9000 private high tech companies of which 3000 are located in 31 science and technology parks are doing a great job and forecasts refer to 30000 of these high tech research and production companies in Iran all owned by private sector in less than a decade.
There are two conditions in relation to this Israeli university leaders' warning to BB...
Either they are bluffing! Reporting non-sense to their prime minister!!
or
They know the reality of Iranian science and tech and education position and they warn legit
either way, Iran is long gone.... I can promise one thing... In a decade from now.... Turkey and Israel will make plans to reach Iran while Iran will be setting plans to overcome UK and France if not Germany...
I'm very well familiar with a small part of what is called as "Recent Iranian Science and Technological Revolution".... I know how the old useless system is reformed and replaced with a very productive one that help Iranian young scientists and engineers to blossom...
don't listen to these burn A S S es... if you check Iranian situation 10 years ago...they used to say the same burn a s s things.... they were saying the same 5 years ago... and everyday they feel more in shock to what to do when they are really out of numbers to heal their burns with!!
baby Iran is long gone for ME... Israel and Turkey are better off preparing themselves to heal their burns with new comparable states like Islamic State of Iraq and Levant??!!
So can you 'visit' another country. That doesn't mean the brains were born and bred there. So a double nationality America goes and visits the 'motherland' and becomes a professor and publishes things. How very 'local'. Anyway, I'm not dissing you guys' academic prowess, it's apparent. But let's not forget these facts either.
A big part of so called Science produced in Israel is either by a whole bunch of jewish Americans or Brits or just got stolen through espionage and cyber attacks... I don't underestimate their local scientific power as Israel is very good in some fields of science and tech, but as a whole, it is not a pure Israeli package... Although, whatever they do... they already almost reached their full potential... They can not grow bigger with the current population and budgets.
Turkey also strives to do something genuine but they still lack the qualities needed for a nation to become an advanced nations scientifically. They need a revoltuion in science in order to reserve a seat among 21th century science and tech pioneers. I truly hope this is the case... but from what I can see... Turkey is not on the right track yet... Israel is derailing from its right track... Iran is on right track...
