Rankings that show their work

Kazakhstan's journals, universities and research organisations: open metrics, including KZ-SJR, which weights domestic citations.

Journal rankings Methodology

Current ranking

Leading scientific journals

The ranking covers Kazakhstani scientific publications, from exact sciences to the humanities. Ranked by KZ-SJR, the regional index of influence, with a confidence score on every record.

Data will appear after the first ranking recompute.

Methodology, not a footnote

One method, from a single article to the map of all science.

Three principles behind every rank, open and reproducible.

Provenance

Open sources

Every record keeps its provenance and collection date. Nothing is taken on trust.

  • Crossref
  • OpenAlex
  • ORCID
  • DataCite
  • DOAJ
  • Unpaywall
Prestige

Reproducible KZ-SJR

A PageRank-like algorithm with a local-impact coefficient for Kazakh citations.

Confidence 0–100

A score on every record. It affects metric computation and is shown in the interface next to the value.

How data becomes a ranking

  1. Collect

    We retrieve publications, citations, and identifiers from approved sources.

  2. Link

    We connect DOI, ISSN, and ORCID records, remove duplicates, and preserve provenance.

  3. Verify

    We check completeness and consistency. Every record receives a data confidence score from 0 to 100.

  4. Rank

    We calculate indicators and publish the ranking with an open methodology.

    How it's computed

Three axes, not one score

Every journal is described by three independent characteristics. This is an analytical layer: it is not part of the official ranking, but it shows where a journal stands now and where it is heading.

  • Influence position in the subject subfield, Q1-Q4
  • Dynamics growing, stable, declining
  • Coverage from local to international

Each field, its own ranking

The OpenAlex classifier: four domains and 26 fields. Within a field, metrics are normalized by subfield, so mathematics is not lined up against medicine.

Health Sciences 7 fields

Life Sciences 3 fields

Physical Sciences 10 fields

Social Sciences 6 fields
