At Azerbaijan Technical University (AzTU), we prioritize the utilization of international scientometric databases to enrich research endeavors and foster collaboration on a global scale. Our institution grants access to a diverse array of leading databases, including Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, IEEE Xplore, and Google Scholar. These platforms serve as invaluable resources, enabling researchers, faculty, and students to explore a vast collection of scholarly literature spanning various disciplines.

Through these databases, users can discover pertinent research, analyze citation patterns, and evaluate the impact of their scholarly contributions. Additionally, international databases facilitate networking opportunities, allowing researchers to connect with peers worldwide and identify potential collaborators for interdisciplinary projects.

AzTU emphasizes the importance of benchmarking and performance evaluation by utilizing scientometric indicators such as citation counts and journal impact factors. This data-driven approach enables us to assess our research performance, identify areas of strength, and strategize for future growth.

To support users in navigating these databases effectively, AzTU offers comprehensive training and support services, including workshops, seminars, and online resources. These initiatives aim to empower researchers, faculty, and students with the necessary skills and knowledge to maximize the benefits of international scientometric databases.
