I recently wrote that Alexandria University might be making a comeback. There is some more evidence that this might be the case. The Leiden Ranking now includes 750 universities and Alexandria is there. For most subjects and settings it does not do particularly well but there do seem to be some widely cited publications in Earth and Environmental Sciences plus, of course, a high score for citations in Maths, Computer Science and Engineering. There are not enough papers in Cognitive Sciences and Social Sciences to be ranked.
I received a comment on the previous Alexandria post from "Nadia" that appeared to praise Dr El Naschie and also made apparently defamatory remarks about a British judge and at least two Egyptian public figures. Since this blog has a policy of not publishing possibly libellous comments, it was not approved. However, if "Nadia" should wish to send a comment that is comprehensible and does not contain personal attacks, it will be published. It would help if she or he could verify her identity.
