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.
