RESEARCH INTERNATIONALIZATION POLICIES IN KAZAKHSTAN: RESPONSES OF ACADEMIA
Abstract
Purpose – Understanding and classification of the scientific community’s responses to the policy of internationalization of research in Kazakhstan
Methodology – A conceptual framework has been developed to classify scientists' reactions to research internationalization policies based on scientific literature. This conceptualization of various types of reactions was applied to analyze data collected using semi-structured interviews.
Originality/value – The value and originality of the work lies in studying the perspectives of the scientists themselves, while many previous studies mainly focus on science metrics and link internationalization to productivity. The work is also of practical importance to administrators in the field of science and helps to understand the different types of reactions and behavior of scientists.
Findings – It is necessary to develop policies that combine qualitative and quantitative indicators of internationalization and research productivity and a departure from policies based only on the number of publications.
