DIRNA … WHY?
- The visibility of research output in AZ HEIs is limited;
- There is also an evident lack of understanding of OA-related general procedures and ethical principles among researchers and students;
- Several institutions in Azerbaijan have OA institutional repositories but OA publishing is less common;
- Common trend among scholars to publish their research findings in highly reputed journals, most of Azerbaijan publications is either unpublished or delayed;
- High costs of publications have contributed to limited growth of Azerbaijan scholarship;
- Some research outcomes addressing local and regional developmental issues, may eventually get published in local journals with poor distribution and recognition;
- Providing access to volumes of national research has become a priority in recent years.
