REQUIREMENTS OF THE EDITORIAL BOARD FOR THE CONTENT AND STRUCTURE OF ARTICLES

 

In the Journal, in the context of «Scientific novelty is knowledge that is substantive, new, and previously unknown in the scientific space», materials of the following types are published: Research Article, Scientific-Methodological Article, Scientific-Organizational Article, Short Communication, Feature Article of the Journal Issue, sections «Memory», «Review of Educational and Scientific Publications», and «Information Analytics».

The length of research articles ranges from 8 to 16 pages, the length of a short communication ranges from 5 to 7 pages, and the length of sections ranges from 2 to 5 pages. The calculation of the length of all three types of articles and the Short Communication does not include the abstract, keywords, the reference list in the original language and in English, or information about the author(s) in Kazakh, Russian, and English. Scientific articles exceeding the specified length are accepted for publication in exceptional cases by a special decision of the Journal’s Editorial Board.

Research articles, in terms of structure, must represent a completed study with a detailed formulation of the problem posed, a full justification of the necessity of the research objective in the context of the development of the field, and a clear formulation of the obtained result (the consideration and completeness of these requirements are determined by the reviewers and the Editorial Board of the Journal). Separately or in combination, they must contain the following information:

  • Necessary notation and definitions to ensure understanding of the text of the article,
  • Formulation of the problem to which the article is devoted,
  • Historical information on the formulation of the problem with corresponding full references in connection with the subject of the article – who and when obtained the results preceding the topic of the article,
  • Justification of the relevance either as a problem new to the field under study or necessary for its further development, which constitutes the task of the article as the most important part of any scientific work,
  • Precise formulation and description of the solution to the posed problem presented in the article,

AUTHORSHIP

The Publisher assumes that, prior to submission of the manuscript, all authors have agreed with its content, have given explicit consent to submit the article, and have obtained approval from the responsible authorities of the organization (research institute, university, etc.) where the work was carried out.

All authors must make a certain contribution to the scientific content of the article—in developing the research concept, in critically revising the article to identify important intellectual content, in expressing ideas, doubts, and suggestions that proved decisive in obtaining the main results, and in approving the final version of the article for submission.

The Journal adheres to transparency by publishing information about the authors’ contributions if the article specifies the contribution of each author. The authors may indicate contributions in the format «Equal author contributions». The list of contributions may include, for example, problem formulation, literature review—history of the issue, methodology, data collection and management, numerical calculations, software, validation, analysis, and may not be limited to this list.

All authors are responsible for all aspects of the work to ensure the accuracy and integrity of any part of it.

Authors designate a corresponding author to communicate with the Journal during the editorial process.

Role of the corresponding author. One of the authors is designated as the corresponding author, acts on behalf of all co-authors, ensures the proper resolution of issues related to the accuracy or integrity of any part of the manuscript, and manages all communication between the Journal and all co-authors before and after publication.

Changes in authorship. Upon submission of the manuscript, authors are strongly advised to ensure the correctness of the list of authors and their order. Any changes in the list of authors, such as reordering, removal, or addition of authors, after submission are not allowed. Therefore, authors must carefully consider the list of authors and their order at the initial, which is also the final, submission.

When submitting a manuscript, authors must pay attention to the correct spelling of their details (full name, affiliation, address, e-mail). Ensure that the names of all authors are indicated and correctly spelled, and that addresses and affiliations are current.

Authorship issues or disputes. In the event of a dispute over authorship during peer review or after acceptance and publication, the Journal will not be able to conduct an investigation or make decisions. Authors will be asked to resolve the dispute independently. If this is not possible, the Journal reserves the right to withdraw the manuscript from the editorial process or, in the case of a published article, to raise the issue with the authors’ institutions and follow their rules, or the Editorial Office reserves the right to retract the article.

Affiliation. Each author must indicate in the article the organization where the majority of the research was carried out. If the author subsequently changes place of work, the current address may also be indicated. Addresses will not be updated or changed after publication of the article.

Author identification. Authors must provide their ORCID ID when submitting a manuscript.

In the event that technical errors (typos in formulas, tables, words, or phrases that change the meaning, etc.) are discovered in published articles, information about corrections may be published in subsequent issues.

 

SOURCES OF FUNDING

Authors must disclose any sources of funding (indicate the funding organization, grant number, and other relevant funding information). For example: The work was carried out within the framework of project No. _______ (project number), funded by the Committee of Science of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
