Estimate an index of the scientist's publication citing from Scopus position.
Scopus is Elsevier’s abstract and citation database launched in 2004. In 2009, the Content Selection and Advisory Board (CSAB) was formed to develop an objective system of evaluation and validation of peer-reviewed journals for inclusion or exclusion in Scopus against transparent and fair criteria. It covers nearly 36,377 titles (22,794 active titles and 13,583 Inactive titles) from approximately 11,678 publishers, of which 34,346 are peer-reviewed journals in top-level subject fields Life Sciences, Social Sciences, Physical Sciences and Health Sciences. It covers three types of sources: Book Series, Journals, and Trade Journals. All journals covered in the Scopus database, regardless of who they are published under, are reviewed each year to ensure high-quality standards are maintained. Searches in Scopus also incorporate searches of patent databases. It gives four types of quality measure for each title, those are h-Index, CiteScore, SJR (SCImago Journal Rank) and SNIP (Source Normalized Impact per Paper).
h-index
An h‐index of X means that Np papers have at least X citations each, and the other (Np ‐ X) papers have at most X citations each. Most frequently the h‐index is used to measure scientific output of an author, but the h-index can also be calculated for an institution, country or journal.
The h-index can be manually determined using citation databases or using automatic tools. Subscription-based databases such as Scopus and the Web of Knowledge provide automated calculators. Each database is likely to produce a different h for the same scholar, because of different coverage. A detailed study showed that the Web of Knowledge has strong coverage of journal publications, but poor coverage of high impact conferences. Scopus has better coverage of conferences, but poor coverage of publications prior to 1996; Google Scholar has the best coverage of conferences and most journals (though not all), but like Scopus has limited coverage of pre-1990 publications. The exclusion of conference proceedings papers is a particular problem for scholars in computer science, where conference proceedings are considered an important part of the literature
Explain what is Bologna Process. Critically estimate its influence on an education system in RK.
The Bologna Process is a series of ministerial meetings and agreements between European countries to ensure comparability in the standards and quality of higher-education qualifications. The process has created the European Higher Education Area under the Lisbon Recognition Convention. It is named after the University of Bologna, where the Bologna declaration was signed by education ministers from 29 European countries in 1999. The process was opened to other countries in the European Cultural Convention of the Council of Europe, and governmental meetings have been held in Prague (2001), Berlin (2003), Bergen (2005), London (2007) and Leuven (2009).

Before the signing of the Bologna declaration, the Magna Charta Universitatum was issued at a meeting of university rectors celebrating the 900th anniversary of the University of Bologna(and European universities) in 1988. One year before the declaration, education ministers Claude Allegre(France), Jürgen Rüttgers(Germany), Luigi Berlinguer(Italy) and Baroness Blackstone(UK) signed the Sorbonne declaration in Paris in 1998, committing themselves to "harmonising the architecture of the European Higher Education system". The Bologna Process has 50 participating countries.
In March 2010, Kazakhstan formally joined the Bologna Declaration and became the 47th member of the European Higher Education Area and the first Central Asian state recognized as a full member of the European educational space. After joining the Bologna process, there have been major changes in the system of higher education in Kazakhstan. For instance:
· Kazakhstan universities joined the Great Charter of Universities, which is now signed by more than 650 universities around the world, which will bring the education closer to European standards. More than 60 Kazakhstan universities signed the Great Charter.
· The transition to a three-level model of training specialists is carried out: bachelor - master - doctor PhD, based on the principles of the Bologna Declaration.
· Progressive technologies and training systems are introduced in the educational process of universities: all credit institutions have introduced credit technology of education, in 38 - two-diploma education is realized, in 42 - distance education.
