This document discusses a symposium on the role of scientific research and publications in university rankings. It notes that Kurdistan universities have thousands of researchers but are not highly ranked internationally. Several issues are identified that contribute to this, including weak government research funding, lack of research policies and incentives, and few international collaborations. The document recommends steps to establish reputable open access journals, such as obtaining ISSN and DOI numbers, archiving articles in CLOCKSS, and indexing journals in Google Scholar.
