      Note:

      1. Coefficient k1 = 0.1 shall be applied to the volume of funds administered by the organisation as a parent organisation minus the volume of funds independently administered. The k1 coefficient shall not be applied to the volume of funds that the organisation uses independently (for instance, the organisation receives programme-targeted financing of KZT 10,000 thousand, of which it uses KZT 1,000 thousand and gives KZT 9,000 thousand to co-executors). The calculation formula shall be as follows - ((1000/500) ×0.2) + (9000/500) ×0.2×0.1).

      2. Publications where the authors or one of the authors is affiliated with the organisation being evaluated shall be regarded for indicators 2, 3, 8 and 9 (the author's affiliation with the organisation being evaluated is specified in the publication).

      3. Coefficient k2.1 = 1 if the journal has a quartile Q4; k2.1 = 10 if the journal has a quartile Q3; k2.1 = 20 if the journal has a quartile Q2; k2.1 = 30 if the journal has a quartile Q1.

      4. Coefficient k2.2 = 0.5 shall be applied if the publication is published in the state language, Russian (and other state languages of CIS countries).

      5. Coefficient k2.3 = 1 shall be applied for articles and short publications where the author affiliated with the organisation being evaluated is a ‘correspondence author’ or is among the first five authors, and for monographs and graphs of monographs - the author affiliated with the organisation being evaluated is among the first ten authors; otherwise k2.3 = 0.5.

      6. The coefficient k3.1 = 1 shall be applied for research papers where the author affiliated with the organisation being evaluated is a ‘correspondence author’ or is among the first five authors, and for monographs and graphs of monographs - the author affiliated with the organisation being evaluated is among the first ten authors; otherwise k3. 1 = 0,5.

      7. The mean value of squares of the Hirsch index of the productive staff shall be calculated by the formula = (h1)2+(h2)2+(h3)2+...(hn)2/n, where h1, h2, h3, ...hn - Hirsch indices of individual individuals of the productive staff, n - number of individuals holding positions of the productive staff.

      8. Coefficient k4 = 1.5 shall be applied if the patent is included in the Web of Science database.

      9. Coefficient k6 = 0.5 shall be applied if the publication is published in the state language, Russian (and other state languages of the CIS countries).

      10. A separate point shall be given for each successfully implemented HTMU in each separate oblast, Almaty, Astana, Shymkent in the healthcare organisation, confirmed by appropriate payment from the Fund - 2 points for Indicator component 7.2.

      11. Factor k8.1 = 1 if the log has quartile Q4; k8.1 = 10 if the log has quartile Q3; k8.1 = 20 if the log has quartile Q2; k8.1 = 30 if the log has quartile Q1.

      12. Coefficient k8.2 = 0.5 shall be applied if the publication is published in the state, Russian language (and other state languages of the CIS countries).

      13. The coefficient k8.3 = 1 shall apply to articles and short publications where the author affiliated with the organisation being evaluated is a ‘correspondence author’ or is among the first five authors; otherwise k8.3 = 0.5.

      14. The coefficient k9.1 = 1 shall apply to research papers where the author affiliated with the organisation being evaluated is a ‘correspondence author’ or is among the first five authors; otherwise k9.1 = 0.5.

      15. The coefficient k10 = 1.5 shall apply if the patent is included in the Web of Science database.

      16. Coefficient k11 = 0.5 shall apply if the publication is published in the state, Russian language (and other state languages of CIS countries).
