Modern science rarely develops in isolation: more and more projects and publications are the result of joint work between several organisations. What forms of cooperation are available to a scientist, and what opportunities do they open up? We look at how cooperation with scientific organisations helps a scientist with research, funding and professional development.

Publishing in a peer-reviewed journal is rarely free of charge. Does the university cover these costs? What support can a scientist in Kyrgyzstan rely on? We look at how funding for publication activity works today.

The procedure for awarding academic degrees and titles in Kyrgyzstan is periodically revised, and requirements that applied two or three years ago may no longer match current rules. Which documents set today’s publication criteria, and where can their current version be checked?

Expanding the financial independence of research organisations is one strand of Kyrgyzstan's science reform. What funds can a university or research institute use to cover costs linked to staff publications? What is changing in the rules governing special accounts? We look at which legislative amendments are currently under discussion and how they might affect funding for publication activity.

The publication activity of Kyrgyzstani scientists in international databases continues to grow. What requirements for publications in Scopus and Web of Science apply today? What has changed for the country’s universities and research institutes? We examine which legal acts define these changes and what goals the state programme to 2030 sets for the research sector.

Presidential Decree No. 135 has launched a reform of science funding in Kyrgyzstan. What changes does it introduce, and what is already known about the new mechanisms?
