Abstract
The current era is marked by digitization, which has significantly shifted scientific research, reporting, and publishing methods. Digital technologies have emerged as powerful instruments that can substantially improve education. Since gaining independence, Kazakhstan has made significant strides in developing its higher education system, particularly in doctoral education. Despite the achievements in the level and quality of doctoral studies in Kazakhstan over the past decade, the country’s postgraduate students still need help. This review aims to assess the current situation of doctoral studies in Kazakhstan and suggest possible ways to improve postgraduate programs. To improve postgraduate programs in Kazakhstan, the country’s doctoral students must undergo additional training through online modules, webinars, lessons or seminars on research methodology and ethics to ensure scholarly performance. It is also necessary to expand advanced training courses for statistical services at universities, develop specialized seminars designed for graduate students in related fields, such as biomedicine, medical biophysics, genetic engineering, etc., and provide opportunities for retraining specialists in the field of statistics and ethics of scientific research in the workplace.
