Non–Compliance of Articles Submitted to Scientific Journals of Uzbekistan with International Requirements

Abstract

The article reflects findings from a research into the issues of non–compliance of articles submitted to scientific journals in Uzbekistan, with international requirements. The purpose of the study is to identify mistakes made by writers of scientific articles, as well as to develop a methodological guide that will help to improve scientific texts’ writing skills, that will therefore increase the number of scientific articles in international editions with a high index. The study taken place between 2019 and 2022 involved a critical review of over 620 articles of the scientific journal of “Science and Innovative Development” for genre– and compositional aspects, system and semantic, syntactic and communicative–pragmatic features. The research was made using theoretical and empirical scientific methods. Each scientific article was reviewed for plagiarism using special software, as well as was subjected for technical and scientific expertise. Based on the research findings, a special form was developed to help experts to determine compliance of scientific articles with international standards, as well as with requirements for writing scientific articles. The need for training of researchers and scientists in academic writing and proper design of scientific articles has been determined. The data obtained will be used as a material for seminars and training of writers in the design and writing of scientific articles.
