Abstract

Abstract

Despite the existing achievements of individual organizations, the effectiveness of the majority of Kazakhstani medical universities and research organizations continues to remain at a low level. By order of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated December 23, 2020 №ҚР DSM-316/2020, the rules for assessing the effectiveness of research and innovative activities (RIA) were approved. As part of the implementation of the new Rules for assessing RIA, we assessed the performance of RIA of medical universities and reaearch organizations of the Republic of Kazakhstan for 2020, as well as an assessment of the dynamics of key indicators of RIA for the period from 2018 to 2020.

When evaluating RIA of medical universities and resraerch organizations, the following key indicators were taken into account: The volume of profit from scientific research, The number of publications in the Web of Science (WoS), Scopus, Springer, Citation of scientific works, The number of patents and other titles of protection (in which, as a patent holder the organization itself is indicated), The level of commercialization of the RIA results, The level of participation in international conferences and forums.

The assessment of the effectiveness of the RIA of Kazakhstani medical universities, research organizations over the past 3 years has revealed such positive aspects as an increase in the number of articles published annually in scientific journals indexed in authoritative databases by 44.4%, an increase in the share of publications of Kazakhstani authors in high-ranking journals (Q1-Q2) from 25.6% to 48.8%, an increase in the share of employees with the Hirsch index according to WoS / Scopus - from 7.7% to 10.2%, an increase in the average Hirsch index according to WoS / Scopus - from 0.15 to 0.18, an increase in the patent activity medical universities and research organizations - by 17.8%, an increase in the volume of profit received annually from the commercialization of research results - by 99.7%.

On the other hand, there is a low activity of a fairly large share of domestic medical universities and research organizations in the field of science in terms of individual indicators.

Taking into account the results of the study, further steps were proposed for the development of medical science in the Republic of Kazakhstan, as well as measures, the implementation of which is required at the level of medical universities and research organizations.
