    We have been working in the scientific publication services market for over 9 years and are leaders in Kazakhstan and several countries in Europe and Asia.
    Our specialists are professionals in scientometrics, and we guarantee publication in international databases with high quartile/percentile journals. The "Scientific Publications" company takes your scientific goals (obtaining titles, degrees, defending dissertations, receiving grants, etc.) seriously and understands their importance, providing high-quality services.
    The "Scientific Publications" company collaborates with over 50 higher education institutions and scientific organizations in Kazakhstan, with official high-level memorandums (see the "Partners" page on the website).
    You can personally meet our specialists and discuss cooperation opportunities at our office located at: Almaty, Luganskogo St., 1, office 278 (by prior appointment).
  • 2. Can I pay for the company's services in tenge?
    Yes, we work with most banking systems and accept transfers in both national and foreign currencies. Usually, we operate on a full prepayment basis; however, you can individually negotiate more flexible terms with a manager.
  • 3. Can I visit the office to discuss the necessary details?
    Our company operates officially and has a physical office in Almaty at Luganskogo St., 1, office 278. Please inform your personal manager before visiting the office. We will be happy to meet with you during business hours and discuss all your questions.
  • 4. What is the company's working schedule?
    We work on weekdays (Monday – Friday) from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. During these hours, our specialists process requests and communicate with clients. You can also visit our office during working hours, after informing your personal manager in advance, to get answers to all your questions and meet our team.
  • 5. Do you publish works in all scientific fields?
    Our company has a large staff of specialists in various scientific fields, so we cover a wide range of specializations. Notably, 80% of our publications are in economics, law, medicine, linguistics, agronomy, chemistry, physics, mathematics, biology, ecology, pedagogy, and their derivatives. All articles are prepared with high quality and published in reputable journals, including those indexed in international scientometric databases with high quartile/percentile rankings.
  • 6. How do you assess the quality of an article provided by the author?
    Before starting cooperation, our specialists conduct a free audit of the material to determine its uniqueness, relevance, and the level of necessary improvements. The article audit is completed within 1 working day. If necessary, we conclude an agreement for conducting the audit.
    Afterward, the client receives detailed information, including material analytics, cost, and project execution deadlines.
  • 7. What types of revisions do you provide, and are the author's rights and confidentiality preserved?
    The necessary level of revisions is determined after a free audit of the article. These revisions may include technical corrections, structural adjustments, consultations to improve the article, or major text edits.
    The "Scientific Publications" company ensures complete confidentiality and the preservation of the client's copyright. For example, if a client submits one article and later replaces it with another, the first article is deleted from the database and will only be restored if the client resubmits it.
  • 8. Who handles the translation of the material, and can I be sure of its quality?
    The translation of research materials is carried out exclusively by professionals in specialized subject areas. In addition, the text undergoes proofreading by a native speaker. This ensures the highest quality of the article and its translation, increasing the chances of publication.
    After translation and proofreading, the material is sent to the authors for review. If necessary, our specialists make edits according to the client's requirements.
  • 9. How do you verify the quality of journals and select publications for submission?
    We conduct a detailed selection of journals based on their subject area, scientometric indicators, thematic focus, and publication activity dynamics. In the initial stages, our specialists analyze more than 200 potentially suitable journals and then narrow the selection to 3-5 (one main and several alternative journals). We do not work with the so-called "shortlist" but consider all journals in the required database.
    Additionally, we closely monitor the publication activities and behavior of journals, offering only high-quality and stable options. If our specialists notice any unethical activity from a journal (clones, duplicates, predatory behavior, or artificially inflated metrics), such journals are immediately excluded from the list of potential publication options.
  • 10. Does the project continue if the article is rejected by a journal?
    If your article is rejected by a journal, the project work continues. Our specialists make additional revisions and submit the material to other journals for consideration. The project concludes only after the article is published and indexed.
    The criteria for selecting journals for publication are specified in the contract (quartile and percentile indicators).
  • 11. Do I need to pay separately for resubmitting the article and making revisions according to reviewers' comments?
    No, in such cases, no additional payment is required. The cost of publication may change only if the client's requirements change. For example, if the initial contract specified publication in a journal with a 25+ percentile, but later the scientist revised their goals and required publication in a 50+ percentile journal, the project cost might increase due to the need for significant additional revisions and a narrower selection of journals.
  • 12. Why do you emphasize indexing? Why is this stage so important?
    The indexing process is the final stage of a publication project. Without indexing, the publication will not be counted for the author and will not appear in their profile.
    Usually, indexing is an automatic process of adding publication information to scientometric databases (Scopus or Web of Science). However, some issues may arise, such as lost article information, the journal being under review, or, worse, being removed from the database. In such cases, our specialists investigate the reasons for missing indexing and work to accelerate the process.
    Only the fact of indexing (indexing report) guarantees the achievement of your scientific goal and marks the successful completion of the project with "Scientific Publications."
  • 13. Is it possible to order a service that is not listed on the website (in the "Services" section)?
    Of course! We focus on an individual approach for each client and respond to all requests. Our specialists have the expertise to solve any scientific challenge.
  • 14. How long does it take to publish an article?
    It should be noted that the publication process is complex and lengthy. You should expect a timeline ranging from several months to a year. It depends on many factors: the quality of the material, the journal's requirements, its ranking, and more. Sometimes, publication can occur faster, but this is not an advantage or special service—at "Scientific Publications," every publication is urgent!
  • 15. How quickly will I be contacted after submitting a request?
    Our specialists promptly respond to requests in the order they are received. If the request is submitted in the morning, the client will be contacted during the same business day. If the request is submitted outside business hours (evening or weekend), the response will be provided on the next working day.
