Case Study: From Our Client Bakhtiyar

For the sake of confidentiality, we have changed the client's real name!

Preparation and publication of 8 articles by the KOKS MNVO RK on political science for a client who was preparing for the title of professor.

🧩 Initial situation

The client was a Kazakhstani researcher who was preparing to receive the title of professor.
To meet the requirements, he needed 8 articles on political science in publications recommended by the Committee on the Coordination of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Problem: In Kazakhstan, there are only 6 specialized political science journals included in the list of the KOKS MNVO RK:

  • Ад әлемі,
  • Bulletin of the L.N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University. Series: Political Science, Regional Studies, Oriental Studies, Turkology,
  • Bulletin of KazNPU named after Abai. Series: Historical and socio-political sciences,
  • Kazakhstan-Spectrum
  • How about?
  • KazNU Bulletin. Philosophy, Cultural Studies, and Political Science Series

🔸 Due to the small number of journals and the limit of “1 article per year,” a clear strategy was needed.

🎯 Article Academy Strategy

1) Complete preparation of articles in English
All eight articles were written in English, which expedited peer review, increased the chances of acceptance, and met the requirements of the most stringent journals.

2) Focus on publications with transparent reviews
We only apply to publications with clear and honest editorial policies. The best results were achieved by:

  • Kazakhstan-Spectrum
  • KazNU Bulletin
  • Bulletin of KazNPU named after Abai

These journals offer high-quality expertise, reasonable deadlines, and genuine professional peer review.

3) Distribution of publications over 2 years
Due to the "1 article per author/year" limitation, we have prepared a two-year schedule in advance.

⚙️ Case study implementation

The project lasted about 2 years.

What our team did:

  • We prepared 6 turnkey articles: writing in English, formatting according to requirements, responding to reviewers, and support until publication.
  • For two articles, the client only asked for text preparation and assistance with post-review edits—he submitted the article himself.

Complex editions:
Adam Alemi and Vestnik ENU are the most closed journals. The client negotiated for a long time, but ultimately received approval for our materials.

Effective editions:
KazNU Bulletin – the strongest reviews, reasonable deadlines, and the best collaboration experience.

✅ Result
  • 8 articles were published in the publications of the KOKS MNVO RK on political science
  • The project was completed on time, despite a shortage of specialized journals.
  • The client has successfully completed the requirements to obtain the title of professor.
  • An individual publication roadmap for 2 years has been developed.
  • All articles are in English, which speeds up the review process.
  • The client got into the most difficult magazines thanks to high-quality prepared materials
⚙️ Why is this important for Kazakhstani researchers?
  • There are very few journals in political science of the KOKS MNVO RK
  • Many have strict quotas and overloaded reviews.
  • Without a strategy, even 3-4 articles can take 1-2 years.
  • The English-language approach reduces risks and speeds up the process
