As for the Arabic-language journals, they demonstrated exceptional performance in the evaluation. Of the 20 journals assessed, 18 achieved the highest rating of 7/7, accounting for 90%. This reflects the continued success of Arabic journals in meeting the standards of credible and scholarly scientific publishing.
