Publishing in the international scientometric database Scopus has many advantages for researchers and scientists. One of these benefits is receiving awards.
Scopus is one of the most authoritative and prestigious scientometric databases in the world. Publishing in this database is not only mandatory, but also necessary for those who seek recognition in the international scientific community. In addition to the scientific credibility and influence that a researcher gains through publishing in Scopus, it can also lead to awards from universities.
Awards for publishing in Scopus from the university
In Kyrgyzstan, researchers can receive awards from the university for their performance in publishing activities, in particular for publications in reputable scientometric databases such as Scopus. Such awards demonstrate support for researchers and stimulate the development of scientific research in the country. Below are some examples of such awards from universities in Kyrgyzstan.
Osh State University
For example, at Osh State University, the number of publications in Scopus and other scientometric databases reached 62 in 2023, which increased the total number of publications since 2019 to 290. The number of citations in 2023 was 98, bringing the total number of citations since 2019 to 391.
To encourage scientists and scholars to actively publish and promote Kyrgyzstan's scientific research in the international arena, the university provides for monetary awards. In 2023, the authors of publications received awards ranging from 15 to 75 thousand soms.
ESPC “International University of Kyrgyzstan”
Every year, the International University of Kyrgyzstan holds ceremonies to award the most effective teachers in research work.
In February 2022, during a meeting of the Academic Council of the IUK, the university's teachers who achieved significant success in research activities in 2020 were solemnly awarded. The awards were awarded for the publication of articles in journals indexed in Scopus, for scientific articles with a high impact factor, the publication of monographs and the Hirsch index according to Scopus. A.S. Dootaliev, First Vice-Rector of ESPC “IUK”, stressed that the university management constantly supports scientific activity and will further stimulate its development among employees.
And, for example, in 2023, a ceremony was held to award teachers and staff who demonstrated high achievements in scientific activities in 2021. The awards were awarded for the publication of articles in journals indexed in Scopus databases, for the publication of monographs and textbooks under the stamp of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Kyrgyz Republic, as well as for high Hirsch index and citation.
The amount of the award
The amount of the award is not established at the legislative level, so each university, research institution or organisation determines it independently. It may depend on the nature of the institution's activities, sources of funding, quality and ranking of the journal, scientometric indicators, and other factors.
The main criterion for awarding the award is the number of published and indexed scientific studies in the Scopus database.
