Why are you omitting the topic? For 1300 years Arab science was head and shoulders above Turkic and Mongol (combined). 1300 years. Let alone pre-Islamic times. Remember that Turkic equals Semitic.
Those are just journals and citations.
Yes, the same Jews of which 50% of the population are Jews of Arab ancestry. Basically Arabs that practice Judaism instead of Islam or Christianity. What has politics to do with anything? Do Mongols love Turks or what? What if they did not?
Azerbaijan is number 86 on that list. KSA number 45. KSA has almost 10 times as many journals. But you know that this "ranking" is just about journals mostly from what I can see? Something like patents types are much more useful than many of those journals/papers submitted. Just look at the countries on that ranking outside of top 15.
What has universities got to do with anything when many of the most successful Arabs are diaspora and when many, if not most, of the most successful Arabs are educated abroad or based abroad?
Arabs are obviously more influential as a people on almost every field than any other ethnic group from the Muslim world. Those people I mentioned before show this clearly.
Arabs dominate business, entrepreneurship. finance, sports and politics. I bet that there are also more Arab scientists and scientists of Arab descent that are more influential across the world (in total) than any other Muslim ethnic group.
We were talking about scientists during the Islamic Age and now you have started about contemporary times. I already mentioned several Arabs working for NSA and even having leading positions. The number of universities do not tell anything about scientists.
I got no access to any lists for some reason on that link and could not find the more-well known universities in the GCC alone and those I found had no ranking.
King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) (
Arabic: جامعة الملك عبد الله للعلوم و التقنية - كاوست
ǧāmiʿat al-malik ʿabd al-Lāh li-l-ʿulūm wa-t-teqniyya – KAUST) is a
public research university located in
Thuwal,
Saudi Arabia. KAUST was built and is operated by
Saudi Aramco. It has the third largest endowment of any university in the world following
Harvard and
Yale, respectively. KAUST is often referred as a new "
House of Wisdom" and an "Arab
MIT." KAUST has attracted top-notch faculty from all over the world, especially from countries such as USA, Germany, China, Japan, and Italy. The high diversity among the faculty is also reflected by the student body, with more than 60 nations represented on campus. This multicultural environment, in which creativity and teamwork is much valued, fosters great knowledge exchange and innovation.

With the aim of rekindling science in the Islamic world, KAUST was founded in 2009 and focuses exclusively on graduate education and research, using
English as the official
language of instruction. It offers programs in Biological and Environmental Sciences and Engineering; Computer, Electrical, and Mathematical Sciences and Engineering; and Physical Sciences and Engineering. The University achieved significant progress in a very short time and is currently among one of the world's most productive universities in terms of research. It was recently announced that KAUST has one of the fastest growing research and citation records in the world right now.
[4] As of 2014, QS World University Rankings rated KAUST's research record as 99.9%, which is higher than that of the University of Tokyo (88.6%), Yale University (92.2%), University of Oxford (96.6%), University of California, Berkeley (96.6%), the University of Michigan(97.2%), University of Cambridge (97.9%) and Princeton University (99.5%).[5]
