Competitiveness of Universities in the QS Subject Ranking: the Experience of Kazakhstan and Hungary

Raising the status in international university rankings is a priority for many universities in Europe and Central Asia. One of the means to achieve this goal is the growth of Kazakhstani publications in the rating publications Web of Science (Clarivate Analytics) and Scopus (Elsevier). As part of a similar trend, in 2019-2020, a number of reforms were initiated in the Hungarian higher education system aimed at increasing the competitiveness of Hungarian universities.
