Case study by Professor KZ Madina

In the first stage, we compiled a publication table, added previously published articles to it, and developed an individual strategy to cover all the requirements for obtaining the title.

According to the requirements, Madina needed to:

• Publish 15 more articles in the journals of the KOKSNVO MNVO RK
• 3 articles in Scopus journals with a percentile above 50
• Participate in 5 scientific conferences (3 international and 2 domestic in the Republic of Kazakhstan)

First, we discussed the publication process in the journals of the KOKSNVO MNVO RK.
Madina explained that her university has its own scientific journal, as well as another journal with which she has long collaborated, so she was prepared to write some of the publications herself.
Our task was to write 5 articles for these journals, taking into account possible revisions after reviews.
We prepared the remaining 10 articles on a turnkey basis—writing, journal selection, and publication.
In parallel, we began preparing two Scopus articles in journals with a percentile ranking above 50. Since the client did not have her own data, we prepared a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Madina ordered a third Scopus article three months later, based on her own data, and it was an original article.

We also organized participation in three international conferences:

• Germany
• Poland
• United Kingdom

Madina organized two internal conferences on her own.

It took 2 years and 1 month to implement the entire strategy.
The longest period of publication was in the journals of the KOKSNVO MNVO RK, due to the limited number of journals and long review periods. It took two years to publish all 15 articles.
Preparation for and participation in the conferences took about three months—we completed this stage at the very end.
We completed publication of three Scopus articles with a 50+ percentile within 12 months.
The client published the monograph independently at her university.
