Summary. This paper analyses the scientific journals of the Institute of Geology and Geophysics of the Ministry of Science and Education of Azerbaijan Republic. It notes the growth in publication indicators on certain criteria in recent years, and the visibility of journals in Scopus and Crossref databases, SCImago and others. Particular attention is given to the completeness and principles of journal content indexing in international systems. The position of the Institute of Geology and Geophysics' journals included in the authoritative SCImago worldwide database is revealed. By most criteria, publications from the Institute demonstrate positive dynamics. Given systematic state support, the creation of a competitive and targeted financing mechanism for scientific research, the stimulation of increased publication in international peer-reviewed journals, the training of specialist, scientific and scientific-pedagogical personnel, and the development of other activities set out in the “Strategy for the socio-economic development of the Republic of Azerbaijan for 2022-2026”, the authors believe that the journals of the Institute represent a significant strategic information resource in international scientific systems.

Keywords: Azerbaijan, Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Ministry of Science and Education, scientific periodicals, indexing, Scopus, Crossref, SCImago
