According to Rabiga Altaevna, by publishing an article in Scopus, we are not only gaining popularity by entering into communication with the scientific community in other countries, but also emphasize the need for financial support for the implementation of new projects and PhD defense. In addition, projects, a doctoral dissertation, although it consists of several hypotheses, but in an article prepared for publication it is necessary to express one hypothesis, and if the article is written in an interdisciplinary way, then the circle of our audience expands, the publication will be interesting to many readers. Also, after collecting and analyzing the sources, it will be better to look for a magazine to publish, and only then start writing an article. Rabiga Altaevna practically showed how to search for Scopus magazines, how to get acquainted with the goals and objectives of magazines, how to read articles in them and establish contacts with authors, etc.
