A round table dedicated to current research methodologies was held at D. Serikbayev East Kazakhstan Technical University for academic staff. The event featured guest speakers from the University of Alicante (Spain) – PhD Dr. Sanchez Garcia Eduardo and PhD Dr. Martinez Falco Javier.

The discussion covered key aspects of modern science, including the PLS-SEM methodology (Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling) and bibliometrics in scientific articles. These tools are widely used by researchers worldwide for data analysis and evaluating scientific publications.

The event attracted significant interest from the university’s faculty and researchers. Participants had the opportunity to ask experts questions on relevant topics, discuss the challenges authors face when preparing scientific papers, and gain insights into successfully publishing in peer-reviewed scientific journals.

Special attention was given to practical recommendations for writing review and research articles, which are particularly relevant for academic staff aiming to enhance their publication activity.

The round table served not only as a platform for experience exchange but also as an inspiration for further research endeavors. EKTU continues to strengthen international collaboration, opening new horizons for professional development for its scientists.
