Aformentioned Council operates in National Museum of Azerbaijan Literature. All research theses to be defended at the relevant scientific ventures of the republic on history of literature, literary theory, textual, folklore and linguistics are seriously studied and investigated in the Academic Council on Philological Problems.

Academic Council on Philological Problems of the Research Coordination Council is headed by Academician Rafael Huseynov. The most prominent scientists of Azerbaijan philology have been involved to the Council.

According to the Regulation, meetings of the Academic Council should be conducted not less than 4 times per year. However, philologist-scientists gathered togehter and discussed topics for 8 times in 2015. Academician Rafael Huseynov said in connection with the meeting of Academic Council on December 25, 2015, that they have agreed on defence of 28 PhD theses and 159 research works in current year. Launching the researches over 187 theses per year is extremely praiseworthy. But forgotten that this is not all of the works presented to us. The number of applicants related to conforming the research works were more. While 46 applicants did not get positive response because of previously developed research works, or lack of sufficient scientific point of view in the work.

Rafael Huseynov added that, traditionally large number of people who willing to defend a thesis on philology prevails, compared to other fields of science.
