В данной статье представлен обзор публикаций по экономическим дисциплинам в Казахстане, индексируемых в базе данных Scopus в период с 1997 по 2022 год. В литературном обзоре представлена информация по наукометрическим исследованиям, которые могут быть использованы для анализа конкретных областей. Методы наукометрии, использованные в данной статье, определяют состояние исследований по экономическим дисциплинам в Казахстане, уделяя особое внимание описательному анализу, такому как распределение по количеству статей, количеству журналов, количеству авторов на статью, количество цитирований, количество цитирований на статью и распределение статей по журналам. С помощью сетевого анализа и программного обеспечения VosViewer были выявлены связи в публикациях по экономическим дисциплинам. Описательные результаты исследования показывают, что среди всех экономических дисциплин «Экономика, эконометрика и финансы» имеет наибольшее количество публикаций, а «Бизнес, менеджмент и бухгалтерский учет» имеет наибольшее количество авторов. Сетевой анализ показал более слабые связи в «Науках о принятии решений», тогда как в «Экономике, эконометрике и финансах» и «Бизнесе, менеджменте и бухгалтерском учете» связь более тесная и взаимосвязана в предметных областях. Анализ научных журналов определил качество публикаций и тип журналов, в которых публикуются статьи, а также наиболее цитируемые статьи по экономическим дисциплинам, связанные с Казахстаном. Выводы и рекомендации свидетельствуют о том, что внутренние процессы и научная инфраструктура университетов, направленная на повышение качества публикаций, повысят интерес к исследованиям, опубликованным в Казахстане, в мировом научном сообществе и будут иметь практическое значение для экономики.

This article gives an overview of the economics disciplines publications in Kazakhstan indexed in the Scopus database in the period from 1997 to 2022. The literature provides an outlook on scientometrics research that can be used for the analysis of specific research fields. Scientometrics methods used in this article identify the state of the research in economics disciplines in Kazakhstan, explicitly focusing on descriptive analysis such as distribution by number of articles, number of journals, number of authors per article, number of citations, number of citations per article and distribution of articles across journals. By using the network analysis and VosViewer software, links and connections within economics discipline publications were identified. Descriptive results of the study identify that across all economics disciplines “Economics, Econometrics, and Finance” has the largest number of publications. In contrast “Business, Management, and Accounting” has the most significant number of authors. The network analysis demonstrated weaker links in “Decision sciences” while in “Economics, Econometrics, and Finance” and “Business, Management, and Accounting” the relationship is closer and more interconnected in the subject areas. The analysis of scientific journals identified the quality of publications and type of journals where papers are published as well as the highest cited papers in the economic disciplines affiliated with Kazakhstan. Conclusions and recommendations suggest that internal processes and scientific infrastructure at universities aimed to improve the quality of publications will increase the interest in research published in Kazakhstan in the global scientific community and have practical implications for the economy.
