quartile to Q1. And this diversity is no accident. It reaffirms a simple truth:<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559738&quot;:80,&quot;335559739&quot;:100}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Neither the quartile nor inclusion in Scopus alone guarantees a safe publication.<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559738&quot;:80,&quot;335559739&quot;:100}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Even highly ranked journals can, at some point, stray from the academic path and begin operating solely for the sake of quick profits. This is exactly what is happening right now with Interpersona and IJISS\u2014both are Q1 journals, and both are already showing signs that Scopus will notice sooner or later.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559738&quot;:80,&quot;335559739&quot;:100}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Most often, authors who fall into this trap are those who need to get published quickly and who fail to analyze the journal\u2019s track record, publication volume, and alignment with its Aims &amp; Scope. In most cases, the result is the same\u2014wasted money and time, as well as problems getting the articles recognized by the Committee for the Evaluation of Scientific and Educational Activities (KOKSNVO) of the Ministry of Higher Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559738&quot;:80,&quot;335559739&quot;:100}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">That is precisely why, before submitting an article, it is important not to rush and to always thoroughly review the journal\u2014or consult with experts who work with publications on a daily basis and understand the real risks. A quick decision almost always ends up costing more than a thoughtful and well-researched approach.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559738&quot;:80,&quot;335559739&quot;:100}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u0417\u0434\u0440\u0430\u0432\u0441\u0442\u0432\u0443\u0439\u0442\u0435, \u0443\u0432\u0430\u0436\u0430\u0435\u043c\u044b\u0435 \u043a\u043e\u043b\u043b\u0435\u0433\u0438!\u00a0 \u0421 \u0432\u0430\u043c\u0438 \u0412\u0430\u0441\u0438\u043b\u0438\u0439 \u041c\u0430\u043b\u0435\u0446 \u2014 \u0434\u0438\u0440\u0435\u043a\u0442\u043e\u0440 \u00ab\u0410\u043a\u0430\u0434\u0435\u043c\u0438\u0438 \u0441\u0442\u0430\u0442\u0435\u0439\u00bb \u0438 \u0430\u0432\u0442\u043e\u0440 \u0430\u043d\u0430\u043b\u0438\u0442\u0438\u0447\u0435\u0441\u043a\u043e\u0439 \u0440\u0443\u0431\u0440\u0438\u043a\u0438 \u00ab\u0416\u0443\u0440\u043d\u0430\u043b\u044b, \u043a\u043e\u0442\u043e\u0440\u044b\u0435 \u043c\u043e\u0433\u0443\u0442 \u043f\u043e\u0442\u0435\u0440\u044f\u0442\u044c \u0438\u043d\u0434\u0435\u043a\u0441\u0430\u0446\u0438\u044e \u0432 Scopus\u00bb.\u00a0 \u0421\u0435\u0433\u043e\u0434\u043d\u044f \u2014 \u0432\u0442\u043e\u0440\u043e\u0439 \u0432\u044b\u043f\u0443\u0441\u043a 2026 \u0433\u043e\u0434\u0430, \u0438 \u043e\u043d \u043f\u043e\u043b\u0443\u0447\u0438\u043b\u0441\u044f \u043e\u0441\u043e\u0431\u0435\u043d\u043d\u043e \u043f\u043e\u043a\u0430\u0437\u0430\u0442\u0435\u043b\u044c\u043d\u044b\u043c. \u0412 \u043d\u0430\u0448\u0435\u043c \u0441\u043f\u0438\u0441\u043a\u0435 \u043d\u0430 \u044d\u0442\u043e\u0442 \u0440\u0430\u0437 \u0447\u0435\u0442\u044b\u0440\u0435 \u0436\u0443\u0440\u043d\u0430\u043b\u0430 \u2014 \u0438 \u0441\u0440\u0435\u0434\u0438 \u043d\u0438\u0445 \u0441\u0440\u0430\u0437\u0443 \u0434\u0432\u0430 \u0436\u0443\u0440\u043d\u0430\u043b\u0430 Q1.\u00a0 \u0418\u043c\u0435\u043d\u043d\u043e \u044d\u0442\u043e \u044f \u0445\u043e\u0447\u0443 \u043f\u043e\u0434\u0447\u0435\u0440\u043a\u043d\u0443\u0442\u044c \u043e\u0442\u0434\u0435\u043b\u044c\u043d\u043e: [&hellip;]<\/p>","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":22499,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22498","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pretendenty-na-vylet-iz-scopus"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/a-articles.kz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22498","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/a-articles.kz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/a-articles.kz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/a-articles.kz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/a-articles.kz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22498"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/a-articles.kz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22498\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/a-articles.kz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22499"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/a-articles.kz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22498"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/a-articles.kz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22498"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/a-articles.kz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22498"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
