On April 16–17, 2025, a master class titled “How to
Prepare Scientific Articles for Scopus and Web of Science Journals. Master
Journal List” was held at the Pedagogical Institute of Astana International
University. The speaker was Professor Emin Atasoy, PhD, from Uludağ University
(Bursa, Turkey). The event was attended by faculty members and master's
students of our university.
The goal of the master class was to promote the
development of scientific competencies among young researchers and to increase
their awareness of the publication process in international academic journals
indexed in Scopus and Web of Science.
During the session, Professor Atasoy elaborated on the
key stages of preparing a scientific article—from selecting a topic and
justifying its relevance to clearly describing the methodology, analyzing
results, and drawing conclusions. Special attention was given to the
requirements and selection criteria of journals listed in the Scopus and WoS
databases, as well as the stages of the peer-review process.
Participants received practical recommendations on how
to improve the quality of their research papers, prepare materials for
submission to international journals, and interact effectively with editors and
reviewers.
This event contributed significantly to the
professional development of both master's students and academic staff,
supporting their integration into the international scientific community and
the advancement of academic research on a global scale.
