Seminar on scientometrics by Scientific Publications

Scientific Publications held a seminar on scientometrics at the Kyrgyz State Technical University named after I. Razzakov. The event took the form of a round-table discussion attended by the company’s CEO, Denys Pylypenko.

The seminar was attended by young researchers, master’s students, PhD students, and university lecturers. The event was organised by the Council of Young Researchers and Specialists at KSTU.

The meeting addressed the topic “Copyright in the digital environment: international standards and contractual practices for young researchers”. Company representatives actively engaged with participants, answered questions and provided practical advice on publishing and scientific communication.

In particular, attention was paid to the following aspects:

1. International copyright treaties.
2. The creation and scope of copyright.
3. Contractual regulation of the transfer of software rights.
4. Digital tools for verifying authorship of software and scientific works.
5. First steps for young scientists when publishing in the international databases Scopus and Web of Science.
6. The importance of increasing a researcher’s Hirsch index.

In today’s environment, it is important to understand the fundamentals of copyright and the protection of research results in the digital environment. Knowledge of the principles of rights transfer, authorship verification and the requirements of the international databases Scopus and Web of Science helps researchers to structure their research activities more effectively. The Hirsch index is also of particular significance as an indicator of scientific activity and influence. Overall, this contributes to more effective and responsible publishing practices.
