Item Open Access Application of P index to evaluate the ranking of productive authors in Malaysia(UNIVERSITY OF MALAYA KUALA LUMPUR, 2012) Assylbekova, KamilyaThis particular research aims to investigate the p-index or performance indicator proposed by Prathap in 2010. The concept of analogy between such branches of physics as mechanical and electrical physics, kinetics, thermodynamics and scientometric field was assumed, and it seems to be an incredibly interesting consilience. Perceiving standard bibliometric measures as an energy which each paper carries, allow us to operate with these numbers in a new way. P index, which is calculated as p=X1/3 =(iC)1/3=(c/pC)1/3=(c2/p)1/3, where C is the total number of citations received and P is the total number of publications, were computed for 499 top productive authors affiliated with Malaysian institutuions, who were retrieved from Web of Science Database...Item Open Access User-centered design and reference services in international librarianship: a case study of Nazarbayev University Library(Taylor & Francis.

Organizations that issue credentials or certify third parties against official standards are themselves formally accredited by accreditation bodies (such as UKAS); hence they are sometimes known as "accredited certification bodies".

Overview of Accreditation - Wikipedia Accreditation is a voluntary process that ensures the quality and credibility of an institution based on peer review and meeting agreed upon standards.

To deal with self-selection bias and estimate this impact more accurately, we used propensity score matching. Using this unique approach allowed us to construct treatment and control groups with similar background characteristics. We found that using a given library resource was associated with a small, but also meaningful, gain in first-term grade point average, net of other factors.Item Open Access FAQ NUR(2015-09-25)The Nazarbayev University Repository is an institutional online archive created to accumulate, store, and provide open access to scientific research results and intellectual products of the academic community of Nazarbayev University.Item Open Access About NUR(2015-09-25)NAZARBAYEV UNIVERSITY REPOSITORY (NUR) an institutional repository for the research output of the Nazarbayev University. • NUR provides stable, long-term storage and ongoing maintenance for content contained within the repository. • NUR is based on Open Access principles. • NUR is designed to increase discovery of your research by allowing indexing by Google. • All materials in the repository are freely accessible to the global research community.
