Analysis of Arabs Publications In the Field of Computer Networks

Increasing technology led to increasing collaboration between the countries in general, especially the Arabic world. In recent years, many impacts affect the growth of research work in different Arabic countries. In this research, we show the growth of research work and its quality between Arabs and the rest of the world. We collected over 2500 publications and used it to create a new table that contains the intersection between each Arab country and each co-author's continent to show the relationship between each Arabic country with the rest of the world. We divided the data into two periods, before and after 2015, then we used Hue to apply our analysis on the data. We focused on the number of publications and the number of citation for each Arabic country. We noticed the rapid growth in the last period in some Arabic countries such as Jordan, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia. In contrast, the rest of the countries had slow or decreasing growth.
