Abstract

This study analyzed the impact of degree requirements on academic performance, specifically looking at the requirements for obtaining a scientific degree in the Republic of Azerbaijan and how these requirements affected scientific indicators. The study used data from the “Web of Science,” “Scopus,” and “Scimago Journal & Country Rank” databases to analyze statistical data by year and field of science. The findings showed that publishing articles is crucial in improving the country’s scientific performance.
