Scientific Work Journal: Scopus, Scope, Submission and Author Guide

Quick Answer: What Is Scientific Work?

Scientific Work, or Elmi İş, is a multidisciplinary scholarly journal based in Azerbaijan. The publisher describes it as peer reviewed and open access, with coverage extending across fields of science. Recent publisher descriptions explicitly reference humanities and social sciences, natural sciences, mathematics and mechanics, and technical sciences.

The journal is associated in the supplied source record with Scopus Source ID 21101397567. That identifier is useful for locating the correct source, especially because “Scientific Work” is a generic English title. However, Scopus coverage, active status, CiteScore and quartiles are time-sensitive. The live Scopus profile was not independently retrievable during this verification, so researchers whose degree programme or employer specifically requires a currently active Scopus source should confirm the record directly in Scopus before submission.

The official journal page provides concrete manuscript rules: 12–45 pages, A4 format, Times New Roman 14-point text, 1.5 spacing, 2 cm margins, bilingual abstracts and keywords, IMRAD structure and a plagiarism report. It also states that publication requires payment, without showing the current fee amount on the page verified for this guide.

Methodology and Source Note

This profile was prepared by cross-checking the supplied journal record against the official Scientific Work page, the Azerbaijan Science Center's current journal listings, the ISSN Portal record for 2663-4619, the journal's current archive and publicly accessible publication records. The supplied row identifies the Scopus source record used to disambiguate the journal.

Journal facts can change. Indexing, metrics, editorial teams, fees, submission links and issue schedules are particularly time-sensitive. Where a current value could not be verified from an authoritative public source, this guide says so rather than substituting an estimate from a third-party ranking site.

Journal Identity, Publisher and Scholarly Context

The identity requires a little care because the English title “Scientific Work” is not unique. The ISSN Portal provides the strongest identifier: print ISSN 2663-4619, with Elmi iş as the key title and “Scientific work” among its title variants. The journal's own site adds e-ISSN 2708-986X and a DOI prefix of 10.36719 for materials published through the Azerbaijan Science Center.

The publisher is the Azerbaijan Science Center, based in Baku. Its current site lists Scientific Work among several journals and presents a substantial archive. The official journal “About” text states that the journal was registered in 2007 and began activity that year. This long archive matters because a researcher can inspect recent and historical issues rather than judging fit from a short marketing description.

Editorial leadership is also publicly identified. The current editorial-board page names researcher Mubariz Huseyinov of the Azerbaijan Science Center as founder and editor-in-chief, with Professor Mahira Huseynova as editor and a broader group of assistant, language and subject editors. Because boards change, authors should treat the official editorial page as the current source rather than copying names from an old article or indexing record.

Aims, Scope and Subjects Covered

The journal's scope is unusually broad. Its official page says it “entitles every field of science,” while publisher descriptions of the journal emphasise original, high-quality research and organise coverage across humanities and social sciences, natural sciences, mathematics and mechanics, and technical sciences. Recent issue tables of contents show this breadth in practice, with papers spanning language and literature, education, political studies, health and biological topics, energy, engineering and other applied technical subjects.

For manuscript selection, broad scope should be interpreted carefully. A multidisciplinary label does not mean every manuscript is automatically suitable. The relevant question is whether the journal has recently published work that uses a comparable disciplinary vocabulary, research design and evidence base. A linguistics paper, a public-policy analysis and an engineering study may all be within the publisher's broad categories, but each still needs to be written for a readership that can recognise its contribution.

Research that appears plausibly aligned

• Original humanities and social-science studies with a defined scholarly question and evidence base
• Natural-science or health-related empirical studies presented with clear methods and results
• Mathematics or mechanics research where the problem, method and contribution are explicitly stated
• Engineering and technical studies with demonstrable methodological or applied value
• Interdisciplinary work that can be placed clearly inside one or more of the journal's represented science groupings

Authors should be cautious with purely opinion-led essays, promotional material, unsupported conceptual claims or manuscripts whose subject does not appear in recent issues. The journal's current requirement for IMRAD also indicates a preference for structured research reporting rather than an unstructured essay format.

Scopus Indexing, Visibility and Journal Metrics

The input record supplied for this article identifies Scientific Work with Scopus Source ID 21101397567 and ISSN 2663-4619. That combination is useful for disambiguation and is the correct starting point for researchers checking Scopus. The direct source-profile link is available on Scopus.

However, indexing should be treated as a current status rather than a permanent badge. During preparation of this guide, the live Scopus profile was not independently retrievable through the public web interface used for verification. Therefore, this article does not claim a current active/inactive status, coverage end date, CiteScore, SJR, SNIP or quartile that could not be checked from the authoritative live record.

If your university requires a “Scopus journal,” open the Scopus source page yourself and record the current status, coverage years, subject categories and metric year. If a quartile is important, also note the category because a journal can have different percentile or quartile positions across categories. Do not confuse Scopus CiteScore with Clarivate's Journal Impact Factor; they are separate metrics from different systems.

Recent Publication Pattern and What It Suggests About Fit

The official archive shows active publishing through 2026 and a substantial run of numbered issues in earlier years. In 2025 the archive lists volumes through issue 12 plus special issues; the publisher's general journal listing currently says six issues per year. Because those two public signals do not perfectly align, authors should confirm the upcoming issue schedule rather than assuming a fixed monthly or bimonthly timetable.

The archive is more useful than the frequency label for manuscript fit. Examine at least three recent issues and identify papers close to your discipline. Note typical title length, article length, methodological style, author affiliation patterns, use of English versus Azerbaijani and the way abstracts and references are presented. This creates a journal-specific benchmark that generic manuscript templates cannot provide.

Article Types and Manuscript Structure

The official page prominently provides requirements for research “articles” and requires the IMRAD structure: Introduction, Methods, Results and Discussion. It does not, on the page verified for this guide, publish a detailed taxonomy of separate article types such as review article, brief report, systematic review, case report or letter. If your manuscript is not a standard original research article, contact the journal or inspect recent issues before assuming that the format is accepted.

For standard submissions, the current visible instructions require a 12–45 page manuscript in A4, 14-point Times New Roman, 1.5 spacing and 2 cm margins. Authors should supply full identity and affiliation information, including city, country, academic degree, ORCID iD, phone and email; for multiple authors, the page says only the corresponding author's email should be provided.

Author Guidelines: Abstracts, Keywords, References and Plagiarism Report

The journal's current author instructions are unusually specific about bilingual front matter. The abstract should be 150–250 words in Azerbaijani and English, and the manuscript should include at least five keywords in Azerbaijani and English. International authors who do not work in Azerbaijani should clarify with the journal how bilingual material should be prepared before submission rather than using an unchecked machine translation.

The reference list is to be alphabetical and contain no more than 25 sources. The official page supplies examples for books, journal articles, internet resources and edited books. It also explains in-text citation patterns, including author-year citations and page-specific citations. Sources in languages other than Azerbaijani and English are to be transliterated into Latin script according to the journal's instruction.

A plagiarism report must be submitted. This should be understood as a documentation requirement, not as permission to “write to a similarity score.” Ethical preparation means checking quotation, paraphrase and attribution, resolving accidental overlap and ensuring that every source is real and actually supports the statement for which it is cited.

Submission Process and Pre-Submission Checks

The journal site provides a “Submit an article” route and contact emails on the journal page. Because submission interfaces can change, the safest practice is to start from the official Scientific Work page rather than from an old bookmarked form.

1. Confirm fit: compare your topic and method with several recent papers in your science category.
2. Verify institutional eligibility: if Scopus status or a particular quartile is required, record the current source status before paying any fee.
3. Apply the journal format: page setup, font, length, IMRAD structure, bilingual abstract and keywords.
4. Audit references: keep the list within the stated limit, alphabetise it and match the journal's examples.
5. Prepare author details: affiliation, country, academic degree, ORCID, phone and correspondence details.
6. Complete integrity checks: plagiarism report, permissions, authorship agreement and accurate data presentation.
7. Confirm the current fee: obtain the amount and payment instructions directly from the journal before making any payment.

Keep a copy of the submitted manuscript, correspondence and payment documentation. If the journal asks for revisions, respond point by point and distinguish substantive scientific changes from language or formatting edits.

Peer Review and Editorial Process

Scientific Work describes itself as peer reviewed and says it follows rigorous expert-review and internal editorial processes. That supports describing the journal as peer reviewed. The verified official pages did not provide a clear public statement of the anonymity model (for example, single-blind or double-blind), the number of reviewers per manuscript, an average first-decision time or an average publication time.

Those missing details should not be filled with estimates. If timing matters for graduation, funding or promotion, ask the journal for the current typical process and remember that any quoted timeline is not a guarantee. Manuscript complexity, reviewer availability and revision rounds can materially affect the schedule.

Open Access, Copyright and Publication Fees

The publisher describes Scientific Work as open access. The official journal site displays a CC BY-NC 4.0 statement and says authors retain copyright. This is a non-commercial Creative Commons licence, allowing reuse under its terms with attribution while restricting commercial use.

The same journal page states plainly that payment is required for publishing. It does not display a current fee amount in the author-requirement section verified for this guide. Authors should therefore request or locate the current official amount, what the payment covers, whether taxes apply, and when payment is due. A fee should never be treated as evidence of acceptance; editorial evaluation and payment are different matters.

Publication Ethics and Research Integrity

The journal links to dedicated ethical rules and describes operation in accordance with international publishing norms and ethics. Even where a specific policy page is brief or changes over time, authors remain responsible for core scholarly standards: original work, accurate citations, honest data reporting, legitimate authorship, conflict-of-interest disclosure where relevant, and appropriate ethics approval for research involving people, animals or sensitive data.

Do not submit the same manuscript simultaneously to multiple journals unless explicitly permitted, do not fabricate reviewer identities, and do not alter citations merely to influence metrics. The required plagiarism report should be supported by genuine source-level review, not cosmetic rewriting that hides unattributed borrowing.

Who Should Consider Submitting to Scientific Work?

The journal may be worth considering for researchers whose work sits comfortably within its represented multidisciplinary categories and who can meet its bilingual and formatting requirements. It may also appeal to authors who value open access and a journal with a long Azerbaijan-based publication history.

For PhD scholars, fit is partly institutional. A doctoral programme may require a journal that is currently indexed in a particular database, falls within an approved list, meets a category threshold or satisfies national accreditation rules. The supplied Scopus Source ID is useful, but the final eligibility decision should be based on the live database record and your institution's current policy.

How to Prepare a Stronger Journal-Aligned Manuscript

Begin with the journal rather than with formatting. Read recent papers in your field and identify what the journal's authors actually do: how they frame the research problem, how much methodological detail they provide, how they present results, and how they connect findings to the literature. Then revise your manuscript so the contribution is easy for an editor outside your narrow sub-speciality to understand.

For a broad multidisciplinary journal, the introduction should explain disciplinary context without excessive local jargon. The methods section needs enough detail for the design to be assessed. Results should answer the stated research questions directly, while the discussion should distinguish your evidence from speculation. English-language clarity matters, but language polishing should never change the scientific meaning or add claims that are not supported by the study.

As a practical publication-readiness step, perform a final “journal alignment audit”: title and abstract fit the topic, the IMRAD sections are complete, tables and figures are interpretable, references are accurate, ethics statements are present where needed, and every author has approved the submission.

How Contentxprtz Can Support Publication Readiness

If the manuscript is scientifically complete but needs clearer academic communication or tighter alignment with journal instructions, Contentxprtz can provide optional support through journal publication services. Appropriate assistance may include manuscript editing, proofreading, journal formatting, reference consistency checks, cover-letter editing, pre-submission assessment and reviewer-response language support.

Such support is editorial, not editorial influence. Contentxprtz cannot guarantee acceptance, secure indexing, bypass peer review, provide insider access to editors or promise a publication date. The author remains responsible for the research, data, analysis, authorship, ethical approvals, citations and final submission decisions.

At Contentxprtz, we don’t just edit; we help ideas reach their fullest potential.

Conclusion

Scientific Work is a long-running, multidisciplinary journal of the Azerbaijan Science Center with verified ISSN identifiers, open-access positioning, bilingual publication and detailed manuscript instructions. Its broad remit can suit research from several scientific groupings, but that breadth makes recent-issue checking especially important.

Before submitting, verify the current Scopus source status and any metrics your institution requires, confirm the publication fee, read the latest author instructions and make sure the manuscript genuinely fits the journal's recent content. Careful preparation improves readability and compliance; it does not guarantee an editorial outcome.
