Meanwhile, 13 researchers from University of Nizwa have been named in one of the world’s leading research and teaching institutions, the Stanford University’s ‘World’s Top 2% Scientists’ list.

The California based University published its annual ‘World’s Top 2% Scientists list – featuring the most widely cited scientists in different disciplines – early this week and 13 researchers from the University of Nizwa have made it to the list. The achievement is a new scientific honor to the Omani university as entering Stanford list is considered rare as top 2% of the world’s scientists are from the US institution.
