Azerbaijani journals included in Scopus

The scientometric database Scopus indexes thousands of scientific publications from various fields of knowledge and scientific disciplines. What is required for a journal to be included in Scopus? To be listed, it must meet strict quality criteria and go through stages of submission, review, clarification, decision revision, and communication.

The inclusion of a journal in Scopus does not mean that no further work is needed. On the contrary, a more serious and thorough stage begins, involving constant selection of high-quality content, adherence to ethical standards, scientometric indicators, and more.

Furthermore, Scopus conducts constant monitoring of the quality of scientific publications and removes journals from the database monthly. Therefore, selecting a journal for publication must be done with particular care.

Today, the list of journals included in Scopus in Azerbaijan is not very extensive, but authoritative and high-quality publications from different fields of knowledge are already indexed there. This indicates the development of the country’s scientific potential and is an indicator of research quality. It is also worth noting that most publishers of these Scopus journals are located in Baku.

Web of Science: list of journals

Web of Science is one of the most global scientometric databases, with citation depth reaching back to 1900. Its core is the Web of Science Core Collection, which includes 7 citation indexes, 4 of which are journal indexes. For a publication to be included in one of these indexes, it must meet 24 quality criteria. Additionally, if it meets 4 influence criteria, the journal will be included in a higher-rated citation index.

Azerbaijani journals in Web of Science are represented in the Emerging Sources Citation Index and Science Citation Index Expanded. Many of these publications show a positive trend in scientometric indicators, which contributes to their higher ranking over time.

Please note that the table contains reference information, and all data is taken from official resources of scientometric databases. The "Scientific Publications" company is not responsible for the quality of the scientific journals listed but provides such information to inform site visitors and company clients.
