3. Specify distinctions in system of science funding in Kazakhstan before and after 2011 year
Financing of scientific and (or) scientific and technical activities from the state budget is carried out in the following forms:
1) basic funding;
2) grant funding;
3) program-targeted funding.
Basic funding is allocated to state scientific organizations and scientific organizations equivalent to state, state higher educational institutions, higher educational institutions, fifty percent of voting shares (participatory interests in the authorized capital) of which belong to the state, as well as to higher educational institutions. Basic financing includes expenditures on the norms of basic financing for the current provision of scientific infrastructure and property, including buildings, equipment and materials, and administrative and maintenance staff salaries. Grant financing is allocated for scientific research in order to increase the level of scientific research, scientific and technical potential and competitiveness of scientific organizations and their teams, scientists, as well as the commercialization of scientific and scientific and technical activities. The accredited subjects of scientific and scientific and technical activities, as well as autonomous educational organizations and their organizations on an equal footing are eligible to participate in the grant financing competition. The program-targeted financing is directed to solve strategically important state tasks and is carried out on a competitive basis or by a decision of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan outside the competitive procedures. Accredited subjects of scientific and technical activity, as well as autonomous educational organizations and their organizations, including as co-executors, are eligible to participate in the competition for program-targeted financing.
4) Explain the basic and main requirements to publication in scientific magazines.
The writing of scientific articles for publications in journals and compilations defined by the Higher Attestation Commission is based on the thesis work. The article contains the main provisions and conclusions set forth in the thesis.
Try, when writing a scientific article, not to use the "narrow" fragments of the study, or to explain the problem positively (with general phrases) superficially, trying to cover the entire thesis. The most effective way of writing a scientific article (VAK, specialized scientific journals) is to reduce the subpoint of the dissertation to the size of the article, through the consolidation of a number of provisions or the generalization of their meaning in the form of abstracts. In the journals of the VAK list, try to publish the empirical material (analysis), the provisions of the final parts of the thesis, where your own research, work etc. are present, and not a review of the literature on the research problem.
After writing a scientific article, we recommend checking it for originality using the antiplagiat.ru service. The main criterion - if possible, exclude the availability of links to the websites of abstracts, theses, etc. in the report on the results of the audit.
Since there are theoretical and empirical levels of knowledge in scientific research, theoretical and empirical articles are distinguished.
Theoretical scientific articles contain the results of studies carried out with the help of such methods of cognition as abstraction, synthesis, analysis, induction, deduction, formalization, idealization, modeling. The logical laws and rules are of primary importance.
Scientific articles of an empirical nature even use a number of theoretical methods, but they are more based on methods of measurement, observation, experiment, etc. In the headings of these articles the words "methodology", "evaluation", "definition" are often used.
Requirements for the design of a scientific article may differ drastically, depending on the journal (VAK). Therefore, it is necessary to clarify the requirements (usually posted on the website) before submitting an article for publication in a scientific journal.
Based on our experience, most often when writing a scientific article, we proceed from the following requirements
Scientific article should have a limited volume (7-10 pages of typewritten text, page format - A4, portrait orientation, fields 2.5 cm on all sides, Times New Roman, color - black, font size -14; 1.5 interval) , references in square brackets.
The general principles of the construction of a scientific article can vary depending on the subject matter and features of the study. When writing a scientific article, especially for the publication of a study in a journal from the list of VAK, it is necessary to adhere to the following structure of the presentation: Title, Abstract, Key words, The main text of the article, Literature.
In addition, the section The main text of the article can be subdivided into the Introduction, Data on the research methodology, Experimental part, Conclusions. These sub-sections are not necessary to distinguish in the text. It is desirable that the logic of presentation in the article be approximated to this structure.
The title of the article, the indication of the Surname, Name, Patronymic (completely) of the author and the name of the educational institution or scientific organization in which the work was carried out, the specialty of the author.
Annotation. Describes the goals and objectives of the study, as well as the possibilities of its practical application, which helps to catch the essence of the problem. (2-3 sentences), in Russian and English.
Keywords (3-5 words), in Russian and English.
