Scientists of KazNU were rewarded for publication activity in rating journals of the international database Scopus/Web of Science.
Financial support for researchers publishing at this level allows them to continue their research, improve laboratory conditions, purchase necessary equipment and attract a wider range of specialists. Awarding the best articles also stimulates the academic community to continuous improvement and search for new scientific solutions. This, in turn, attracts young scientists and doctoral students who see that their work can not only be recognized, but also rewarded financially. This measure contributes to strengthening international cooperation, as publications in highly rated journals often open up opportunities for participation in global projects.
In 2023 scientists of KazNU published 1,192 scientific articles. From the total number of published scientific papers 396 authors of publications were rewarded. The works were included in the first and second quartile (Q1 and Q2) according to the international classification of scientific journals. The total amount of awards amounted to 130,205,764 tenge. This choice is due to the fact that articles in Q1-Q2 journals have a high citation rate and more significant impact on the development of science. This measure allows to strengthen the prestige of the university, increasing the chances of taking higher positions in world rankings, such as QS and THE, where publication activity and quality of research are important evaluation criteria. Thus, such rewards play a significant role not only for specific scientists, but also for the development of science in general, stimulating the creation of new knowledge and maintaining a high standard of academic contribution.
