Today, as part of the Winter School project, Module 2, titled “Strategies for Increasing the Citation of Scientific Articles,” was held.

The first speaker, Toktarbay Zheksenbek, PhD, Research Professor at the Nanotechnology Research Institute, delivered a presentation on “How to Prepare a Citable Article.”

He covered the structure of a scientific article, proper abstract writing, and common mistakes in the Results and Discussion sections. He also highlighted strategies to ensure an article is easily discoverable in search engines by applying Scientific SEO principles.

Additionally, he emphasized the importance of using a seven-sentence abstract structure, supporting results with concrete data, and avoiding excessive descriptive language. Toktarbay Zheksenbek noted that an article’s citation potential depends not only on its content but also on the alignment of its title, keywords, and abstract.

The next speaker, Indira Ussembaeva, PhD, Associate Professor-Researcher at the Faculty of Natural Sciences, presented on “Strategies for Increasing the Citation of Scientific Articles.” She explained the role of citations in scientific ethics, their impact on a researcher’s academic reputation, and their influence on scientific rankings.

She also discussed the effectiveness of systematic reviews and meta-analyses, the use of the PICO framework, and the importance of consistent author identification through ORCID, as well as publishing in Open Access format to enhance the visibility of scientific work.

The session provided an in-depth discussion of practical mechanisms for improving the quality of scientific articles and increasing citation levels.

Participants gained valuable insights into strategically planning research, maintaining academic integrity, and cultivating a culture of citation. This module, held as part of Science Week, served as an important platform for researchers to prepare internationally competitive articles.
