Benha university (BU) has started many procedures to enhance the quality of scientific research and international publication since 2013 aiming to improve the international academic ranking and recruit international students. Progression was mainly observed during the last 3 academic years when starting to collaborate with the QS. The overall BU performance indicator has increased 13% in the number of international publications according the Scopus data base accessed on June 21th 2016. Approximately 254 articles were published, mostly in the field of Engineering (54), Medicine (47), chemistry (37) and computer sciences (35). In addition, the global collaboration has been increased from 42.50% in 2015 to 44.30% in 2016.
