Science and Higher Education of the Ministry of Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan (KOKSON) were first introduced in 2016. Their primary goal was to stimulate improvements in the scientific quality of Kazakhstani publications and gradually bring them closer to the standards required for indexing in international scientometric databases\u2014Scopus and Web of Science.<\/p><p data-start=\"1351\" data-end=\"1753\">\u00a0<\/p><p data-start=\"1755\" data-end=\"1879\">However, over the following years, a number of systemic problems in implementing these requirements led to the opposite effect:<\/p><p data-start=\"1755\" data-end=\"1879\">\u00a0<\/p><p data-start=\"1882\" data-end=\"1998\">\ud83d\udd39 A reduction in the number of journals on the list, which, in turn, created an excessive burden on existing publications.<\/p><p data-start=\"2001\" data-end=\"2167\">\u00a0<\/p><p data-start=\"2001\" data-end=\"2167\">\ud83d\udd39 The formation of significant publication backlogs (6\u201312 months or more), which has complicated the timely completion of dissertation projects and the awarding of academic titles.<\/p><p data-start=\"2170\" data-end=\"2354\">\u00a0<\/p><p data-start=\"2170\" data-end=\"2354\">\ud83d\udd39 The presence of unofficial limits in editorial offices (for example, on the number of sources in the bibliography - no more than 15-20), which contributed to a decrease in the analytical level of materials.<\/p><p data-start=\"2357\" data-end=\"2576\">\u00a0<\/p><p data-start=\"2357\" data-end=\"2576\">\ud83d\udd39 The editorial policies of some journals focused on an internal circle of authors, which led to corruption risks, bias in article review, and limited access for independent researchers.<\/p><p data-start=\"2579\" data-end=\"2745\">\u00a0<\/p><p data-start=\"2579\" data-end=\"2745\">\ud83d\udd39 The quality of peer review was perfunctory: in many cases, editors performed reviews themselves or agreed to publications without proper scientific expertise.<\/p><p data-start=\"2748\" data-end=\"2911\">\u00a0<\/p><p data-start=\"2748\" data-end=\"2911\">\ud83d\udd39 Articles were primarily published in Russian or Kazakh, with the number of English-language publications (as well as those by authors from abroad) remaining minimal.<\/p><p data-start=\"2748\" data-end=\"2911\">\u00a0<\/p><p data-start=\"2913\" data-end=\"3164\">All of this taken together did not contribute to an increase in the quality of scientific publications; on the contrary, it exacerbated the problem of a formal approach to academic publishing, reducing publication to a reporting tool rather than to the dissemination of scientific research results.<\/p><p data-start=\"3166\" data-end=\"3440\">\u00a0<\/p><p data-start=\"3166\" data-end=\"3440\">As a result, the Ministry received a significant number of complaints from doctoral students, faculty, and the scientific community regarding the ineffectiveness of the current system.

Specifically, editors will begin to take a much stricter approach to assessing the quality of articles, as their continued inclusion on the COXON list directly depends on this. As a result, publications that previously could have been accepted with formal comments will now be rejected en masse.<\/p><p data-start=\"41\" data-end=\"474\">\u00a0<\/p><p data-start=\"476\" data-end=\"951\">At the same time, even a sudden strengthening of internal quality control will not help some journals remain on the list. The new regulations will assess their publication practices over the past 6-12 months. This means that without a high-quality publication history, English-language articles, an international author base, and a transparent peer-review system, such journals may be removed from the list, regardless of their current intentions.<\/p><p data-start=\"476\" data-end=\"951\">\u00a0<\/p><p data-start=\"953\" data-end=\"1155\">In this situation, the risk increases for doctoral students,

data-end=\"227\" \/>Publications indexed in Scopus are clearly recognized for the defense of PhD dissertations and the awarding of academic titles both in Kazakhstan and in most other countries.<\/p><p data-start=\"389\" data-end=\"550\">Scopus ensures a high level of selection and continuous quality monitoring, meaning the risk of losing status or being excluded from the database is lower than in local registries.<\/p><p data-start=\"552\" data-end=\"827\">We recognize that until now many authors have chosen KKSON journals due to their lower cost and availability, <strong>However, this option may become unavailable or risky in the near future.<\/strong><\/p><p data-start=\"552\" data-end=\"827\"><br data-start=\"751\" data-end=\"754\" \/>On the contrary, publication in a stable, high-quality journal <strong>Scopus allows you to:<\/strong><\/p><p data-start=\"552\" data-end=\"827\">\u00a0<\/p><p data-start=\"830\" data-end=\"864\">\u2705 avoid

data-end=\"984\">\u00a0<\/p><p data-start=\"986\" data-end=\"1198\">At the same time, it is important to choose not just any Scopus journal, but a reliable, stable publication that is not a candidate
