This study explores how scientometric data and indicators are used totransform science systems in a selection of countries in the Middle East andNorth Africa. I propose that scientometric-based rules inform suchtransformation. First, the research shows how research managers adoptscientometrics as 'global standards'. I also show how several scientometricdata and indicators are adopted following a 'glocalization' process. Finally, Idemonstrate how research managers use this data to inform decision-making andpolicymaking processes. This study contributes to a broader understanding ofthe usage of scientometric indicators in the context of assessing researchinstitutions and researchers based on their publishing activities. Related tothese assessments, I also discuss how such data transforms and adapts localscience systems to meet so-called 'global standards'.
