    Introduction

    The Scientific Publications Department started back in 1993 as an Editorial and Publishing Department. Its main goal was to publish the academic work of university professors like textbooks, teaching materials, and research papers, as well as collections of research papers from conferences.

    In 1995, the Department’s staff took the initiative to publish the inaugural editions of the “Ясауи университеті” (Yassawi University) newspaper. Furthermore, since December 1996, the Department has been dedicated to publishing the scientific journal “Ясауи университетінің хабаршысы” (Bulletin of Yassawi University). Over the years, the journal has been included in the list of the Committee for Quality Assurance in Education and Science of the Ministry of Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan in various areas.
    In 2002, the department extended its scope to include the publication of the scientific journal “Түркология” (Turkology).

    In November 2003, the university inaugurated a new printing house, marking the transformation of the department into a Publishing Department. Since then, the primary focus of the Publishing Department has been the publication of academic works authored by the university’s distinguished faculty, scientific and theoretical conference materials, the annual traditional collection “Жас ғалым” (Young Scientist) by students and undergraduates, alongside various other scholarly books.

    To support the university’s Strategic Plan and the development of research, they make sure that important publications like research papers, textbooks, and teaching materials are produced according to the latest standards. These decisions are made based on recommendations from a special committee.

    Structural changes within the university have led to multiple renaming iterations of the department, which has transitioned from “Editorial Department” to “Editorial Office of the IKTU Bulletin journal”, “Scientific Publications Office” (in 2019), and finally, since September 2020, the “Scientific Publications Department”. A principal responsibility of the Scientific Publications Department is the comprehensive oversight of publications produced by the University, ensuring their alignment with the latest requirements set forth by the Committee for Quality Assurance in Education and Science of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

    The Scientific Publications Department, under the leadership of Head Sadykova A.D., Editor-Managers Akhmetova Zh.A. and Toktasyn A., and Technical Editors Abildaeva G.E. and Zhumadillaeva G., operates within a well-defined framework.

Furthermore, adherence to the “Rules for the Preparation of Manuscripts of Publications” is mandated to enhance the quality of scientific publications in line with international standards and the criteria of global scientific databases.
