description: 'King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals (KFUPM) is a public research university in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia,
  ranked #101 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. KFUPM does not operate a centralized public developer portal, but
  several institutional systems expose machine-readable interfaces: the KFUPM ePrints theses and dissertations repository
  serves a live OAI-PMH 2.0 endpoint and EPrints REST URLs, and the Elsevier Pure research portal (pure.kfupm.edu.sa) ships
  the standard Pure Web Services REST API (OpenAPI 3, authentication-gated). KFUPM also maintains a GitHub organization and
  a student Open Source Club presence.'
