Fikret Aliyev in the report "The State of integration in the international scientific journal bases in Azerbaijan" at the meeting of the Presidium of ANAS. He said that information on 3 journals published in Azerbaijan, which are included the knowledge base agency Thomson Reuters, shows that the journal “Applied and Computational Mathematics" - the only journal still has an impact factor. He added that the journal "Theoretical and Applied Mathematics 'Mathematical Society of Turkic World” and "Humanities and Social Sciences of Khazar” by Khazar University were included in the database “Emerging Sources Citation Index” at Thomson Reuters.
