The Kazakh National H-index Ranking (NHR) is an independent ranking that assesses the scientific productivity of scientists, research groups and organizations in Kazakhstan. It is based on the Hirsch Index (h-index), which is a bibliometric indicator that characterizes the productivity and impact of a scientist's publications.

The National H-index Ranking evaluates academic, and research institutions based on their combined scores in Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar. According to the results of which, institutions are divided into three categories:
-
leaders of scientific potential - 10% of the most influential research institutions in the country.
-
high scientific potential - 30% of influential and ranked research institutions with high scientific potential.
-
participants of the ranking - participants of the ranking, predominantly young or small organizations.
The National H-index Ranking focuses on measuring the national context of scientific research by benchmarking performance within a particular country. This ranking system has already been used to assess the scientific impact of organizations in countries such as Ukraine, Albania, Kyrgyzstan and others.
