The article analyzes the publication activity of scientific authors from Kazakhstan based on Scopus and SCImago Journal & Country Rank data from 2010 to 2015. The number of indexed multidisciplinary and medical articles from the country has been steadily growing from 2011 onward and this can be due to the adoption of the new Law on Science in that year. Several regulatory legal acts have been issued in recent years aimed at improving the quality of local journals and the international recognition of academic degrees and titles. Publication activity of scientific authors from Kazakhstan was found to be higher than that from other countries in the Central Asian region. However, there are still many unresolved issues related to the English language barrier, lack of indexing status of local journals, and poor topical education on science writing and editing. As such, the number of articles published in 'predatory' journals remains sizable, and there are concerns over authors' negligence and plagiarism. The global solution to the discussed problems may be achieved by educating researchers, authors, reviewers, and editors.
本文基于2010年至2015年的Scopus和SCImago期刊与国家排名数据，分析了哈萨克斯坦科研作者的发表活动。该国多学科和医学领域的索引文章数量自2011年起稳步增长，这可能归因于当年新的《科学法》的通过。近年来发布了多项规范性法律法案，旨在提高当地期刊的质量以及学术学位和头衔的国际认可度。研究发现，哈萨克斯坦科研作者的发表活动高于中亚地区的其他国家。然而，与英语语言障碍、当地期刊缺乏索引地位以及科学写作和编辑方面的主题教育不足相关的许多问题仍未得到解决。因此，在“掠夺性”期刊上发表的文章数量仍然可观，人们对作者的疏忽和抄袭行为表示担忧。通过对研究人员、作者、审稿人和编辑进行教育，可能找到解决上述问题的全球方案。
